Yeah, a low bar is people buying a pirated game for 30 units of local currency vs a legit version for 200 or whatever. People's aims when buying things is to get the product for a little amount as possible, after all, if zero is a convenient alternative, then people will go for that too. At least I imagine it is a similar situation like that outside of NA/EU. Hardly harsh on humanity to see people just willing to grab a game for free if it's simple enough to do. Pretty tame compared to other crap people do

Pics Actually, nah, she doesn't on closer inspection. Good thing too, hated that professor.

Well I guess not everyone in the world is as perfect as you. Seems reasonable enough that people would look more favourably at alternatives if they feel the 'legitimate' retailer is just screwing them. So they'd buy cheaper pirated DVDs, etc. My experience with people who buy pirated DVDs* is not that they're thinking "Yes, I am doing this to protest the outrageous prices for these movies before the ridiculous retailer mark-ups; I shall purchase the DVD from illegitimate means thus allowing me to strike a blow against the corporations who extort us all for high quality entertainment" so much as they're thinking "Oh, hey X-Men: Days of Future Past on DVD for $5! Now I don't have to go to the theater!". YMMV, of course. *this is excepting, of course the "collector to collector" market buyer who is typically trying to find movies that aren't available in their country through any legitimate means. Also works as well, if the legitimate price is higher than a pirated copy, not surprising people will go for that, is it ?

Heh, racist abuse of white people made me recall an Indian driver attempting to curse a cyclist by yelling in a heavily accented voice 'You white bitch!'. Just about laughed loudly on the sidewalk when I heard that, then he started cussing me.

Nothing wrong with shooting scat fetishists or hentai collectors in the spine, man.

I really glad someone else, Kotaku, raised this. I thought that someone making a video of his exploits in the game killing minority groups with the title "making the world a better place" as utterly tasteless and not funny at all . I actually deleted a post I made earlier on these forums when the video was first posted because I thought I was over-analysing this development so I'm glad Kotaku shares my sentiment I found it was pretty funny and really did give me an incentive to play the game, kind of like a 40K inquisitor set loose in the world. If you go on some rampage in the game and kill everyone that would be fine but if for example you go into the game and only profile gay NPC and then make a video with the title " how to deal with the issue of homosexuality" and post it then that would be very concerning. Surly you can see the difference? Yep, one guy kills a wider set than the other in the game. The title I assumed to be a bit tongue in cheek, anyway.

Already linked that. Kotaku's take on it - http://kotaku.com/some-players-are-hunting-down-minorities-in-watch-dogs-1584813361

Yeah, regenerating health, could revive team mates with magic syringes, have to unlock weapons (and HATS!), cover system so that meant convenient waist high walls.

Yes, Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six. Basically made the games more about the action than the whole "thinking man shooter" shtick. I mean in Vegas 2 there's a boss. An endgame boss. That is a gunship.

She looks like my DB prof from that angle.

http://youtu.be/hC83kY3rywE Well....I gotta play this game, now.

The forum's first romance.

Ubisoft will always suck for what happened to GR & R6

Forgot how massive the exposition was in ME. Enjoyable though.

2) That's insanely creepy and way to bring this thread into a whole new level of weird. Wait that is creepy? Turn in your man card. It is MISOGYNY! Or something.

Out of stuff to play, have the strange urge to run through the ME games again maybe with a biotic this time so maybe I will do that.

For the OP - if everyone buys in, I don't see a problem.

Well, it's still more than a feasible alternative, thinking about it.

Just the usual sanctimony.

Well if you don't you'll get some nagging people on your case. As for pirating before buying, I've seen that done and with sequels (so say one pirated ME1 but then went on to buy everything else in the series...sad, really). Usually with the game that was pirated it has been when it's cheap, so maybe that does undercut it some.

Ah, Nigeria.

Well, not surprised that there's outrage on Twitter.
