Get a keygen. Sometimes stooping to their level isn't such a bad thing.

If you own the game isn't a keygen legal?

Personally, I really hate piraters. I'm glad to make the statement that I"ve never pirated a game. But really, all piraters are doing is hurting the developers of the game, and people who legitimately bought the game.

I mean, let's take Call of Duty for example. Let's just say Call of Duty has 1 million unique CD Keys playing. Generally, 7 out of every 10 copies of a game is pirated. Call of Duty sells for $45 retail, so that's $45 million. So they only make $13.5 million. Take into account production costs, employment fees, and the such, and you're down to about $6 million. Then, the publishers get a good deal of that. You're left with $3 million. That's NOT a lot of money.

Since I wish to pursue a career in this type of field, I really think pirating is what's going to bring the gaming industry down.

Indecisive

2004-09-25, 05:11 PM

Acually, the game company fucked up. Putting the key in at install does not check to see if it has been used. And apperanlty it dosent check for playing online either. No anti warez security at all, you should just download a keygen or such.

/edit/ speaking from what i have been told.

Triggar

2004-09-25, 05:11 PM

Well, if there is a game that I am seriously considering getting, I want to try it out to make sure it isn't all hype. I'll pirate it, play it for a day, then make the decision whether to buy it or not.

This is for games that don't release demo's. This way, the industry doesn't lose any money it wouldn't have gotten anyway.

Did that sentance make any sense? :lol:

ChewyLSB

2004-09-25, 05:14 PM

There are plenty of other ways to sample a game.

- Game Reviews (I know people don't like them, but if you get a review from enouch reliable sources, you can tell whether or not you'd like it)
- Demo's, already said
- Borrow the game.

2004-09-25, 05:18 PM

Well, unfortunately, creating a demo recquires more work by the industry, which means that the developers have to use even more of the little money they make on creating the demo, which is why a demo isn't always available.

Like I said, don't rely on one game review. Most good reviewers will attempt to outline all of the good and bad points, and attempt to have an impartial view. I actually consisder IGN.com a pretty good source, but what the hell do I know.

I'm still against pirating.

Even with the jobs around the neighborhood, I scarcely have any spare money after paying for BSA trips, debts to pay off, debit card at school, obligatory presents for relatives, gifts to please people, etc.

And you somehow think this is an excuse?

My boss shortchanges me all the time, and because of Marching band, I can only work two hours a week at barely above minimum wage. I have other expenses as well, including my cell phone, PlanetSide, and donations to my clan, yet I still manage just fine.

I mean, if you want something, you need to earn the money to buy it, not just steal it.

EarlyDawn

2004-09-25, 05:44 PM

From who? Anyone who's a nerd like me lives nowhere near me, and can't afford FedEx.

Demo's aren't always available.

Game reviews don't do anything except give you someone else's experience with the game. I want my own. That's why I'd buy the game in the first place.You're saying that there are no game stores near you?

Although games have, in my experience, gone down in price in recent years, piracy threatens to raise prices for everybody, which is unfair. Can you justify making other people charge more for your situation that isn't in their hands?

Yeah that I disagree with. If you can't afford something, you can't have it. That's how capitalism works. Don't have money? Go mow a lawn, or go watch TV. Sorry guys.

People who want a game, download it and never pay for it are stupid.

I don't see any problem with downloading a game with the intent to sample it, if there is no demo available. That's like hearing a song on the radio you like, buying the CD and finding out the other 10 songs suck the fat one.Yeah, but be that as it may, that leaves the possiblity of people who download it with that intent open to simply keeping it, and that's why piracy needs to be stopped.

I mostly only download games I already own but do to some circumstance lost a CD or soemthing for.

Nothing wrong with being a pirate of music or games. Just as long as you dont pirate like every single game out there. I have to pirate my games to see if they even work on my comp. Like i got Doom3 Illegally to see if it would run and while it does its not worth $50 considering the graphics have to be turned down all the way.

Spee

2004-09-25, 06:28 PM

I acquired DOOM 3 at a LAN party. Went through the game and beat it. Realized it wasnt worth the 50 bucks they were charging. I can go watch a horror flick for 7.50 and be scared like DOOM 3 scared me.

If its worth it, Ill buy it. DOOM 3 wasnt worth it. Absolutely no replay value, nothing but linear predictability.

The sims 2 for example; If I had bought that, I would've wasted �35. It doesn't run properly, and causes my computer to reset.

That sucks SDM. E-mail lucasarts a picture of your receipt and CD key. They should sort it out for you.

(i think)....well anyways, i DLed doom3, didnt work on my comp, so im not going to buy it, perfect example of me saving money.

I download music all the time. I have 3 songs from godsmacks latest album faceless. Would I have bought thier album if I hadnt downloaded those 3? Nope. I know this because I dont like most of thier work just those 3 songs. Same with games. For years I havent purchesed games I knew I wouldnt play online. This was before I started downloading games. Since 90% of warezed games dont work online thos companys from whom I warezed have lost next to nothing because I would not have bought those games anyhow. Most of thos singleplayer games I dont even finish anyhow.

Well it's basically becoming that the only real way a company can make a lot of money off of a game is to add a monthly fee for it. And people wonder why monthly fee games are becoming more abundant nowadays...

When you pirate a game, all that you're doing is hurting people who pay for the game.
