Arthur Kabrick of gamrFeed looks at the history of video game piracy, the motivations behind it, and the reasons to not do it.
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The whole argument is whether you are for or against piracy. I am against piracy, however, I never buy new games as they are just cheaper to buy them at a used game store.
There have been thousands of articles about piracy especially now that the PS3 has been hacked, however, if there is one thing that I know about piracy, these articles won't change their minds.
Its funny cus most pirates think they got away with it but it usually takes a while until they actually get caught(could be 1 month, could be 20 years). So even though they have stopped, in 15 more years or so they will get a fine for a couple thousand dollars. Arrrg!
whatever, i'll still pirate them.
I fucking hate pirates. Theft is theft, whether it's a tangible item or digital download. If you didn't pay for it when others had to, you shouldn't have it. The whole "games are expensive and I can't afford it" bullshit is just that. Can't afford it? Too fucking bad. Gaming isn't like eating, either - it isn't a necessity.
The people that state that they'll buy the game if they like it? Also bullshit, why not just rent the game first (if on console)? In the process you help companies like Blockbuster and Movie Gallery (oop, too late for Movie Gallery), and not just the people sitting at the top, but the person standing behind the counter.
I agree that when you play multiplayer games you should play with originals but for others games depends on the money people they have because there are countries that people work for 10 euro per day and the games on the shelf cost 60 euro. Do the math and you will know why the piratery exist.
