melkathi Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) So one of my mother's hobbies since retiring is worrying about my career and scouring the internet for jobs that could interest me. Among those was a job as German Gaming Advisor. Sounded kinda neat. Then I looked at more than the title: customer support for the Elder Scrolls MMO. Which at least in the EU, as it turns out, will not be done by Bethesda itself but is handled by these kind souls in Lissabon (company recruitment video follows) : Part of the benefits package for the Elder Scrolls team the company is putting together, in anticipation of the game's release, is "exclussive access to the game". So if you end up playing and wonder why the CS person knows little more than you (if anything), don't be a racist and complain about CS getting outsourced to India. It didn't. It got ourscourced to Portugal Edited November 11, 2013 by melkathi 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Humanoid Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Good to know the support team will at least have played the game then. That said, perhaps the only decent thing to do would then be to advise callers to play something else. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bester Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Never would I pay a thousand euros for a game as bad as Witcher, pirated or not. The reasonable thing would be to ask for 50 euros. Then I'd be like "ok, you caught me, here you go". Thousand? Not gonna happen.

Humanoid Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I ended up paying ~$150 for the game in total - bought the digital copy from GOG while waiting for my import CE to arrive. Irrational?

Yes, copyright infringement is totally equal to actual robbing and stealing. Totally. 2 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

If you shoplift a box with Witcher and get caught, you'll get neither jail time, nor a thousand dollars fine. In most civilized countries, you'll have to buy the game or they'll call the cops and then you'll pay a 50 euros fine to the government. Of course in the US, you might get arrested, beaten up by cops, have your anus inspected for drugs etc, but as I was saying, I'm talking about civilized euro-countries here. In normal countries, stealing things under ~100 euros isn't a crime/felony (like a bank robbing would be), but an infraction.

Yes, copyright infringement is totally equal to actual robbing and stealing. Totally. Copyright infringement is not what matters here. What matters is that people (the devs) work their arse off to produce the best product they can and then some little twerp (for example dear Bester) comes along, steals it and then wants to also be coloured as the righteous one and the one we should feel sorry for if someone makes an attempt at catching him. And how dare the industry upon catching him say anything but "Tag your it!"

Yes, copyright infringement is totally equal to actual robbing and stealing. Totally. Yes. Yes it is. Robbing and stealing is the unlawful act of taking something that doesn't belong to you. Copyright defines a certain form of ownership. Illegally taking something under copyright is robbing and stealing. It doesn't matter if you received it second-hand; you're merely complicit in the act. Deal with it. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Hurlshort Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 In some ways copyright infringement can be worse than physical theft. If you take a piece of copyright material and make it available to millions of people behind the owners back, that is a lot more serious than taking an actual object. But hey, let's not get in the way of all the immoral crusaders and their fight against The Man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Stealing fun you say ? Hm...well..I suppose so if the game's MP is a big point and you crack it and just play on reverse-engineered cracked servers. Then some legitimate buyer has less people to play against and loses some enjoyment as his servers are not full. Could be it. Why has elegance found so little following?
