LOL, one single measly dime. Can I send it to them in the mail? As I said the problem is that most pirates haven't got any money to give, ie. they are under someone else care or broke. That was not the point they were trying to make, they were saying that all the pirates hurt their profit. No one here is justifying pirating.

Obi it looks like you have some competition! I hope he won't abuse his mod privileges to win the race.

You must not have read Gromnirs story with the ancient strippers. That was priceless too.

Pirated game =/= lost sales!

Yeah I was just wondering.

It's a trick question!

But in the end why does anyone come to the forums anyways, but to lose some time and have some good laughs. Not really, I have been saying that piracy is not as big of a problem you make it out to be. But there are some real hardliners here...

Wanted it for free is not the same as wanted to pay for it. Come on use your brain at least. I have never once said that pirating is "Right". Twist and turn my words all you want, it just makes you look stupid.

Again who said piracy is going to fix anything. My opinion is right there where you quoted me. They don't care about us I don't care about them...

You create air bubbles like that.

It's not really about esthetics, it's about ease of reading. Most forums have rules about this.

Not to mention who Putin learned that particular kind of trolling from.

Where did you get all that from? I didn't even say half those things... Also jumping to conclusions much? I simply said that I don't care that those shareholders don't make large profits, be it games/movies/medications/anything else realy. Most corporations have shown them self for what they are, money hungry companies who won't stop at anything to make a buck. In fact they are the number 1 thing that is wrong in the world today. Sing me up for a NO on that "no" of yours. Not everyone that pirates would buy the game, in fact most people who pirate wouldn't buy the game. On the flip side of the coin arguments have been made that pirates are free marketing and bring in more sales.

So Keyrock the big question, how do you apply your paste? Do you spread it over the cpu with a credit card or do you put some in the middle and let the heat sink spread it out?

TIL In other news I finally hit diamond in LoL, could have probably done it sooner but I can't bring my self to play more then 2 games most days. Slowly going through W:TNO (but motion sickness too OP), and Transistor is gathering dust (even though I'm almost finished).

Have fun dude, hope it starts on the first try.

There should be a rule for this in the forum, but the forum quoting system is beyond retarded, so I kind of get why people are reluctant to edit quotes.

That is what I was talking about.

I am more and more up for the option to pull the trigger on the Haswell-e build, 5820k will be a 6-core and "cheap", then go for a asus-pro x99 board and some cheap ddr4 sticks.

I remember reading that they covered their production costs with the initial sales, but that the stock holders weren't satisfied with the numbers and thus considered it a failure. I could be wrong about that, I read it a while ago. Coming from you that's rich. You said the companies want something, I said the consumer wants something too. The companies aren't too broken up about what the consumer wants so why should the consumer care what the companies want? My point exactly, why should we care that they didn't meet their ridiculously high numbers? That doesn't mean we should buy more or pay at a higher price, it means that those people need to reevaluate what kind of profit they can make from games. 1)Never said that. 2)Kids don't have money, period. 3)Devs make what they accepted to make in their contracts, piracy doesn't affect that at all. Well for someone who doesn't take stock you sure reply a lot. As you may have noticed I don't take stock in what people like BruceVC/Mor say and after a point where I figured that out, you won't find a single reply from me to them. The problem with that is that you are talking about the American market, where as I'm talking about countries in which piracy is widespread and a part of everyday life. The price for those markets is way too high. Also what about Australia, games are a 100$ there, other software prices are also unproportionally higher, how would you explain that?

You haven't realized yet that you are not as smart as you think you are... I know what he meant, it's simple logic, should I deny it because it doesn't help me? That may be your modus operani, but it ain't mine. And I want games to be cheaper, especially now that they are mostly digital, I also want dlc to be reasonably priced (compared to their size) but hey why should they care what I want. The problem with that is that they have a funny way of gauging the point at which the game is profitable. A normal person would think that a game would be profitable if it covers it's production cost, but it seems it ain't so.

Without a doubt.

Well now days that is not even a problem, no one is risking anything anymore. Everyone is rehashing their big hits and raking in the money. Also I still stand by my argument that most popular games, make their production budget back, it's just that companies have unreasonable standards by which they judge a success and thus get too bloated to support their own weight without those big profit games. If you want an example look up what square enix said about Tomb Raider, Infinite is another good example. It's more of a case with publishers/devs being unreasonable with their expectations then pirates taking their money away.

You wanna say they went out of businesses because of piracy?
