Some personal thoughts on piracy (warning - long post)

[BeefJerky]

Our game? Hold on here.
You might note that what I say, doesn't represent Frictional Games in ANY way. I'm not part of Frictional Games' developing team, neither publisher, I'm just a forum moderator.

Also, I didn't say that I accept downloading illegaly game BEFORE paying for it.
That's why there's demo, which you can download if you want to test the game.

I was talking to the editorial you. I'm well aware you don't work for Frictional, and I know you don't support downloading before buying. I never implied that. The point of my post was to point out that a lot of people, given the history of developers over the last 20 years, don't see a demo as a fair representation of the product they're considering buying.
