Why is it depressing? Its a logical move.

I like DB(Z) but Toriyama isnt THAT great imo... maybe its nostalgia who made the polls?

You mean Jobs pulled a Japanese CEO? Its common for Japanese businessleaders to do this, its even expected. If the stockholders cant see you wither away and die, they cant lose confidence in you. /coldlogic

I dont know why but Ive literally got tears.

Oh come now, no need to swear.

Well Im glad all depressions are the same! Gosh, if I knew this sooner I couldve equivilated it with everyone else and ‘got over it’.

Please be a troll, please be a troll, for the love of humanity, please be a troll

Yes and no, yes there is the desire to play the game, its not always the only reason or as simple.

The pushing wasnt a metaphore, it was literally an example :P

Then people will steal or move to something different. They wont suddenly go “Well I cant pirate so Ill buy it!”, no instead theyll abandon the market and go for a different market.

If the option to pirate was gone then the prices would be jacked up and theyd find other options to pirate. And yes some sales will be lost with piracy, then again some sales will be gained as well. Im not going to fool myself into saying the ratio is 1-to1 but there is a ratio.

From what I see, people mistake reasons for excuses. If I knock a glass over because someone pushed me then the I will say “I knocked it over because someone pushed me.”, its not an excuse but a reason. An excuse would imply I feel bad about the consequence of my actions which I 99% of the time dont. A reason is a…

We’re entitled to nothing if you think about it. All we are, are some lumps of flesh hurtling through space on a watery rock. But Im also a human being with personality. I think the entitlement argument has been taken out of context too much in the last few years where its become the standard rebuttal when you think…

Hiking is a) almost nigh impossible where I live because dangerous (not wildlife, cars. Cars everywhere) and b) I was fucking depressed. I didnt leave my house unless it was for food.

Im fine with giving examples, can you use one thats applicable though? Stealing beer prevents the company from selling it to someone which directly impacts a company. Copying a game however does not.

Im not disagreeing, Im merely saying that without piracy a lot of the business wouldnt give a rats ass about you. Now though they know that htey have a choice: reasonable prices that people can afford (I have Netflix myself and had Crunchyroll until they fucked me over) or piracy on which they make $0

Im not justifying it, I have no need to justify it to you. I dont know you and I dont care about you. What I do care is about how people look upon others and think lowly of them because of actions taken.

Yeah looking for a job, if only I had thought of that!

Like what hobbies? Seriously, name me a hobby thats cheaper than pirating games. I dont think you understand the concept of having no money or being depressed.

Oh I understand the costs involved
