I had many cases when I downloaded a pirated game that had no demo, i spent 10m playing and felt like I would through up on how bad and overhyped it was. So I just delete it. And man how should I feel paying 60$ ( 3 days of working ) on some shit I would delete after 10 minutes?

I have downloaded sc2, played the campaign and I loved it so bought a retail copy and went to play on the battle net.

So they key here, release a good game, release a multiplayer that would attract people to play after finishing the single player and people will buy your games!

I like this guy. He’s got a reasonable point of view. Sure, we should pay for games (and I’ll go on record here to say I don’t really pirate videogames anyway), so I can understand his stance of “pay for what you can”.

You see? When a guy does something like this, it actually convinces me that when i DO get a job, i’m gonna start buying games for sure…and i have made up my mind before, but now i’m going to find out who he develops for and support THEM

If game manufacturers closed their doors today, there would be new games tommorow. Same with music and movies industry. Th quality would be the same as well. Gaming communitys create their content and have for years. All “new” games do is provide something to be changed to be liked. Mods. You tube is FULL of performers of music that do it for FREE. FULL of them. And theres so many self produced movies, that you couldnt put it into prospective.
Fact of the matter is, the holes would be flooded with new free material without the industries.

I usually pirate a game and if I like it I pay for it.
Demos do never satisfy me, they can sometimes even be flat out stupid and make me angry enough to not buy a game.

I pirate games because I don’t really like them. I mean I can play one for maybe 15 minutes, and then I just get bored with it. Why should I have to pay $50+ for a game I’m gonna play for 15min?

I hate video game piracy. I hate people that steal games when they can afford to buy them.

- unless it’s a game that has some ridiculous DRM, then I hope it gets pirated so much that the publisher goes out of business and catches on fire and dies from the burns and a piano falls on them while playing a really terrible song.

An extremely sensible and common sense point of view.
