From the article:

Your noble justifications are not fucking cutting it anymore. In my last rant about piracy, one person said they pirated "out of necessity" and seemed to get some people agreeing with him. Really? Necessity? It is necessary  that you play a videogame? Since when was a luxury item like a videogame a necessity, to the point where you get to steal it? A fucking bit of bread for a dirt-poor family is a necessity, son. Not your stupid videogame.

This assumes that people who pirate games would have otherwise bought them if they weren't available to pirate. I'm not going to say that piracy has never costed game developers sales, since that would be ignorant, but I'm not really going out on a limb when I say that it's not nearly as much as some people would have you believe.

I freely admit to downloading free copies of games, but this was when I was a kid and before I actually had the kind of cash I needed to buy the games I wanted to play. Under these circumstances, I wasn't robbing anybody because the chances of selling me physical copies of games I downloaded were otherwise 0%.

In the end, what happened was that I was exposed to a wider world of video games from series, developers and genres that I would have otherwise never touched. It was these games that I played voraciously and talked about with my online buddies, many of whom bought them before I had a steady income of my own to flush out all the copied games in my library with legit physical or Steam copies.

Granted, recovery like that requires a bit of personal integrity, but in my case piracy did the industry an infinitesimal favor. Stacked on top of similar stories, I don't think it's nearly as bad as analysts would have us think. On the other hand, and at the risk of completely invalidating my Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me, I'm willing to guess that with average consumer honesty, it actually does more harm than good.

the guy brings up Killzone 3 being leaked and goes on to blame PC gamers?

In all likelihood both games were leaked intentionally for hype, which they're getting.

That disturbed me too.

No it doesn't. It simple states you don't need to have games, they aren't a necessity.

You don't need movies either but people download those too...

If the developers make quality games people will buy them...

So you think downloading movies is the right thing to do?

People also shoot up smack in alleyways...

What a retarded argument.

I like to consider piracy (while still beeing a crime obviously) a neat way to weed out the shovelware and crappy made games from ever getting a sequel...

Survival of the fittest (developers) imo...

Too bad that won't really work as proven by the success of games as bad as COD:MW2->BLOPS

Those were made by two different developers.

So do you actually buy a game that you like after "sampling" it? Even if it's single-player only?

i do

nah, bollocks to that

The only honest one here

Yes, because the more people do this the more incentive there is for developers to actually make a sequel...
