Fantastic Anti-piracy Statement

[eliasfrost]

The only games I download (or pirate) is stuff I can't get legally anymore, thank god GoG for SS2. Examples of those games are old DOS games. Recently I skimmed the internet for a copy of toonstruck, couldn't find it. I also make sure the company isn't alive and kicking or if the license has been bought up by someone else.

I don't think piracy is justifiable. Even if you think the price tag is too high or that you don't like the company, or you just want to "try it out".

If you can't pay, wait for your next paycheck. Or buy a similar game with a smaller price tag. It's the same as any other type of product, want the highest quality shirt? Then get ready to pay up, want the highest quality games? Then get ready to pay up.
If you don't like the company, you wouldn't play their games to begin with.
And if you just want to "try it out", well, you don't get to permamently try things out in your local furniture store, what makes games any different?

I don't get it, games are not any different than any other product, and yet people try to justify stealing things.

It's these things that makes me cringe and think twice about making games, too many damn thieves around.
