I'm sure that if everyone could afford it, they would have bought it... But for some, money is more tight than others.

Is that a valid excuse or are we just trying to make ourselves feel less guilty?
its a valid excuse i think
Ever heard the saying: "Arm mense bly by die huis"?Is that a valid excuse or are we just trying to make ourselves feel less guilty?
What are they supposed to do, cuase they can buy the game, so a pirated game is the next option and while they can't go out, they have something to do.
I have only bought games that requires the original to play Online.
The rest I copy, play till I'm done with it and pass it on. If the developers want us to buy games:
1. Price them right
2. Make them free for a said period of time. Then charge a minimal subscription.
That way they will only make money if their content is what the people want. If the game is a fail they will not play past the free period. I have burned my fingers to many times with games that looked awesome but ended up to be crap and a complete waste of R 300.
I used to do the Rips thing, but a few things changed it:
*I got an Xbox 360, no rips for me.
*I get a lot of Xbox bargains on kalahari.net
*MY PC is so dated now that I the games that actually work on it are discounted to the max! lol
Way back in the day everything I got was a copy from a mate. I can't remember the first legit game I got. I think it must have been something like "syndicate" which came on a 4 in 1 cd with some hardware or something.
Now I have started buying all my games. I might still download something I can't find a copy of, like I can't Fallout 3 anywhere so busy downloading (although by the time it finishes, Take2 will probably have stock again).
Also I have made to many mistakes with buying stuff that I really have not enjoyed like Oblivion, Farcry 2, Brothers in Arms and a few others that I have not finished or played much.
In strict terms of the law we're not allowed to do that, but realistically speaking - would you buy a music CD if you haven't listened to the songs on there? Or a car without driving it?
As long as you buy a game that you enjoy playing I don't see a major problem with it.
Thinking back now the 1st original I bought was D.O.T.T.
