That image is a total fail. Nobody drives to the store anymore (Steam), nobody installs 6 discs anymore (digital downloads), intro movies are usually removed by a simple file renaming, ... I mean, really?

Piracy... OMG!

#18083 posted by JPL on 2010/02/12 15:29:18

If piracy was so obviously easy, and better than paying for a game, nobody would buy games anymore... I always experimented troubleshotings with illegal game... like multiplayer non supported, and fancy bugs like behing able to pass through triggers without trigger it...
so yes piracy is ggod for your money, but piracy is not good for your gaming quality... though... :P

#18084 posted by Spirit on 2010/02/12 16:41:36

intro movies are usually removed by a simple file renaming
and cd checks or online activation through the use of cracks.

#18085 posted by JneeraZ on 2010/02/12 16:52:15

You're going to have to re-clarify your point, you're losing me.

#18086 posted by Spirit on 2010/02/12 17:32:16

non-interruptable intro movies are a massive pain in the ass and having to delete files to get around them is a slap in the face. industry-ass -> my-face

#18087 posted by JneeraZ on 2010/02/12 17:34:41

Must be a language barrier. You cherry picked a piece of my response to the piracy vs retail image and are using it to rail against .. intro movies?

#18088 posted by Spirit on 2010/02/12 17:41:50

Well, the other things you said are not quite reality so I ignored them. The one about deleting files to not be annoyed by something was left so I picked it.

Oh for FFS. Whatever man.

Even More Abuse, So In General

the other things I read are quite reality...

(couldn't help it)

Let's See

1) drive to the store
well, downloading is fine, unless you care about privacy. so, legitimate games don't offer me an option I can live with other than buying the game at a store.
legit 0:1 piracy
2) see 1)
legit 0:2 piracy
3) most games have keys that i have to type in from the box, right? Pirated games at least allow me to c&p the shit in.
legit 0:3 piracy
4) i install games not often enough to know how likely shitty setups are, but i sure remember some. Not counting this
5) DRM, Spyware, Rootkits, yeah, all there. Thank you. One could argue that you'd have to virus check pirated files, but then i could argue that a) at least i CAN find the problems with a check and b) you'd have to do that on legit media, too, (and can't if you buy in to downloads)
legit 0:4 piracy
6) yeah, unskippable logos are so fucking annoying. And no, i'm not investing my time to dig into the files of the games to disable those.
legit 0:5 piracy
7) haven't seen ingame ads yet, but there are ads for dlc everywhere these days.
legit 0:5.5 piracy
8) patches. well, sure, there's isos that are fully patched, but not before the official patch is released, and it's hard to install patches for pirated games (not the fault of the pirates though :)), so i'll count this for the legit games
legit 1:5.5 piracy

I don't really see how you can call that "total fail" ;-)

Spirit: that article is awesome!

Yes

#18092 posted by ijed on 2010/02/12 19:24:46

Good article.

You're a freak.

willem, you seem to have a very narrow field of view when it comes to 'nobody'.
