Hmm, wait, that was almost intelligent.

Yeah, ignore the fact that it's completely outnumbered by religions far older.

two winners!

Often my main gripe is playerbase. The same mechanics that give mature ends of the population freedom to have fun in the game also gives the idiots the chance to ruin other peoples fun. For example, the above EVE story is a great example of the former (sure, people were 'hurt' but it was beautiful) but for each of those there is a story of the guy who scammed guys of millions (which, in itself, could still be considered an example of the former) but worse, the game is known as somthing of a gankfest.

...I don't want to know how you play games.

Oh man, thanks for bringing this to my attention, this was TOO FUNNY. Hahahaha, I almost rolled on the floor laughing it was just that fresh.

Whoa, first google result on Jesus: http://www.jesusdressup.com/ this is too much fun.

Why don't any of you want to hear about Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus?

Oh yeah, I was more refering to download and play. I miss the days of cart swapping and 'make me a copy buddy!'. Yeah, in that respect you're right, and in fact, my own views on such are probably rather limited, but I would also expect that the people who are most likely to lose money up-play the problem.

J.E.Sawyer is reading this thread!

It doesn't upset us, we just don't care, and don't want it thrown down our necks any more than we would want someone shoting 'i'm a lesbian!' every post.

stop flaming

really?! I can't speak for anyone else, but if not being able to pirate a game was the only reason to buy it, they can't have wanted it that bad in the first place, and since I can't think of a game out there that isn't piratable while being readily available on the highstreet, meh. More often than not it comes down to inconveniance, I have heard of plenty of people who pirated Hlaf-life 2 not to save money, but so that they didn't have to put up with steam and while sure, it will be a small figure, it's still there. Likewise, for my own part, if I wasn't going to buy a game, it's not really worth playing, and while I have pirated games, i've usally either bought them later or stopped playing them before the point where it would have been worth actually 'buying' them. The only game which truely jinxed me was Soldiers: heros of WW2, so I just said screw it and played somthing else. I bought the game later for completely seperate reasons at a massively cut down price. I refuse to belive that while there are people who are both desperate for a game and cheapskate enough to try and pirate it before giving up and buying it, that they don't make enough of a population to be worth screwing actual customers and funding a morally deffecit company like starforge.

^ me

She ran the Olympics over 20 years ago, this is hardly suprising.

Oh sweet irony. Reminds me of a good instance of copy protection as used in Operation Flashpoint. Basically, if you were playing a copied version of the game you would be...allowed to play it. Only, after a while, odd things would start happening, vehicles would become undrivable and your aim would shake around all over the place. Beautiful I say.

Nintendogs makes it irrelivent.

FERRET?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY SAWYER WHY?!

Starfocrce is pretty stupid, anyone who was going to pirate a game wasn't going to buy it anyway, and while this may be a completely sweeping and not ENTIRELY true statement, the 'good' customer is still being treated like a criminal AND being inconvenianced for not much of a good reason. Go go Galatic Civilizations 2!

Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max is 3 times more MAX than any other Street Fighter Alpha

Yeah, you guys are dumb.

Yeah, i'm a bottled water drinker, I wouldn't drink the tap water in london anyway though, too much bloody eastrogen from the pill and I don't much fancy growing **** yet.

Isn't rockstar scottish?

I managed to stop WW2.
