Really? A woman dying of cancer and taking a life saving drug is a little different than someone stealing a video game, no? There is breaking the law for a need (food, shelter, etc) and breaking the law for a want (Nikes, cigarettes, video games). Good find, however. I can admit when I’m being hyperbolic and…

I would import back in the Saturn/Dreamcast eras. Also, and this may be somewhat hypocritical, but pirating a brand new game and a 20 year old arcade .rom that you literally cannot pay the developer for are two entirely different things. You are comparing someone possibly losing a job to a coin-op not getting the…

Theft is theft, Mate. Hyperbole aside, that’s truth.

Then they should send the developer a check. But they can’t, won’t, or don’t. I wanted badly to play Shinung Force III part 2 back in the day, but the only way to do so was by importing it. Same with any games not available in the US. Just because someone can skip the importing process nowadays doesn’t make it ok.

No, it’s not. But it’s analogous of two points I was attempting to make:

Good job there, buddy. But people lose jobs when their product loses sales, whether that product is physical, digital, or otherwise. Stealing is stealing in any form. Pirates try to justify it away, calling it a victimless crime and putting it in its own special category of it’s okay because I do it. Was my Ferrari…

But ALL pirates are steaming piles of shite.

Hey pirates:

Sorry, but fuck that. Piracy IS a black and white issue. If you pirate a game, you’re willingly breaking the law. Period. No justifications. No “I can’t afford it”. No “I treat it like a demo”.

For the sake of this argument, yes. In my mind, they’re batting 1.000 with terrible final acts/botched endings.

I spent a lot of time with the Division. The first few days of release. This weekend, I spent every gaming moment I had with Stardew Valley.

I say I hear something else, you essentially call me old and deaf. Dick move, jabroni.

No. Not even a little.

Sorry, but I don’t hear it. I head Zelda, if anything. And I’m familiar. Been listening to Uematsu since ‘91.

Sounds more like the lead in the Legend of Zelda than FF fanfare to me. Not saying anyone wrong, I just can’t get SMB and LoZ out of my head when I listen to it.

I’m getting more Legend of Zelda than FF.

I didn’t hear the Final Fantasy, but definitely heard SMB3 Act I pretty strongly.

I don’t have an issue with getting my information from a video. What I hate is when you click on an article and only get half of the information written and you have to watch a video to get the other half. Or on sh***y IGN where a 30 second video has to be preceded by a 45 second ad, all to give me information that I…

Neverwinter Nights - terrible ending
