You cannot debate that which you don’t understand. Every single time you try and compare a digital copy to a physical item or refer to copyright infringement as “stealing” you only prove you are not fit to debate the issue because you do not understand the issue.

Your “debate” is essentially “blah blah blah it’s…

Equating a physical object or service with a copy of digital file only proves you deserve nothing, since you don’t understand the issue and as such your opinions are worthless.

If you’re poor, and you download a game that you’d never be able to buy, there is zero loss to the publisher/developer. If you’re poor,…

Your assumptions that making a digital copy is stealing is what’s inane. You can’t steal something that doesn’t exist. A digital copy is not a physical item. Stealing means you take something. Copying means you create a duplicate. How can you even attempt to have a rational adult discussion on the issue if you don’t…

Yes, actually there are. Any one in which you can get a working download is “free”.

So, if you’re too poor to buy the game then exactly what harm is there in playing it? What loss is there to the game developer or publisher since it’s not something you ever would have bought?

Being poor sucks. Trying to find ways to make being poor tolerable is not “entitlement”. It’s “survival”.

And yet it can be all of the above, or any number of other reasons. It’s not black and white, and assuming that everyone who illegally downloads a game can afford to buy it but chooses not to is simply ridiculous, and numerous studies have actually proven this is typically not the case.

Yup. Because if you’re poor you should be sitting in a dark room staring at a blank white wall to punish you for being poor. No entertainment for you, you dirty filthy poor person!

Well, y’see, it IS actually completely different than stealing. A plane ride has a cost. A copy of a digital file has none. You cannot compare the taking of a tangible good or service versus the copying of a digital file. They are completely different things.

If you steal a physical item, there is an associated loss…

Sooo... they only questioned his mental status AFTER he shoots someone with what is presumed to be a legally-obtained handgun.

He should be the NRA’s new poster child. “See, even if you’re delusional and bipolar we’re still going to ensure you can buy a gun!”

And yet humankind is still not going extinct, despite such a claim that is clearly not the norm.

THIS. There was no way for the guy to move into the right lane to let the tailgater pass. Asshole got what he deserved.

This is such total bullshit. But I expect nothing less from Jezebel.

Kesha is a grown woman who entered into a contract. She now has to fulfill that contract. She is not some poor immigrant/minority homeless woman that the system failed. She’s a privileged white multi-millionaire who is crying rape because she wants…

They add up pretty quickly actually. And they give them out as login rewards, so make sure you log in every day.

IIRC they drop on average every 5-8 minutes of game play. And there are potions that will boost the number that are dropped (but not the frequency). Characters range from 200-600 splinters (the majority are…

Turn the graphics settings all the way down and then slowly ramp things up one by one until you find the setting (or combination of settings) that tank your frame rate.

Most characters are under $10. Some as low as $3.75. If you wait for one of their frequent BOGO sales you get 2 for the price of one.

Always wait for a sale. Or use in-game currency to buy stuff.

It’s funny, because I’m so much more willing to spend money in MH simply because I don’t feel as though I’m being nickled and dimed to death or that I’m forced to grind for weeks on end, have to work for freebies, or have my progress time gated — all tricks that other F2P games use to pad their numbers.

I’ve been a…

You’d think, but not in this game. You can play just about every hero to level 10, and then pick one to unlock to level 60. They give away a number of free team-ups as daily login loot, story rewards, or holiday events. Same with pets. Pretty much the only thing they don’t outright give you are costumes, which are…

I do. And I’m loving it. I wait for a BOGO sale, buy $20 worth of credit and I come away with at least 4 items — characters, team ups, or costumes.

And the game is fun to play. Easy to hop on, play for 20 minutes and split. And with their massive roster and the ability to play just about every hero to level 10 for…

As is usual, save your time and energy reading the article or watching the video and just go buy the most expensive model from the most popular brand. 9/10 times it’s the winner. Because everyone needs a $250 pot, er saucier.

If I added up the cost of every single pot and pan I own I don’t think it comes to $250, yet I…
