Everytime this dirt bag speaks, I wish I had more Epic accounts to cancel.

Not my cup of tea, for a number of reasons:

  • from a security standpoint, I would have a very high probability of downloading something nasty;
  • from a legal standpoint, authorities frown upon such behaviour;
  • from a moral standpoint, people who produce games should be payed;
  • from a personal standpoint, I don’t like any of their games.

    When you live in society, you should obey the laws OR fight to change them. Pirating stuff is a weak form of protest.

    …are you serious?

    You’re clearly upset with the leadership of your country. How does piracy change anything?

  • It’s not the Limewire days anymore. While it’s not risk free, if you hang about piracy for even a little bit you’ll quickly pick up an idea of who the trusted sources are.
  • Why would you care?
  • The ones making the games aren’t the ones you’re paying. Only the IP holders. If you’re concerned about paying the actual developers, then sticking with indie games is your only option. Not that that’s a problem; indies have come with far better quality and interesting ideas for quite some time now.
  • Neither do I, so fair enough.

  • There’s always a risk, especially with such a desirable bait. If you have no problem with having your system be part of a botnet (or worse), go right ahead.
  • I care. When you are responsible for other people, getting hit with a large fine or jail time is not an option.
  • Part of the price goes to the developers. Not as much as in indies, but that’s life. That does not justify pirating stuff.
  • At least we agree on something.
