I largely agree with your sentiment and acknowledge that those people most likely did consider themselves to be pirating the game. It's the technicalities that are off interest in this case. Does piracy require the willingness to pirate and or lack of knowledge of the origin of the software. Is...

This move was one of the most clever marketing moves I have seen a quite a while. Though I decided not to buy the game it certainly did get my attention, after all who doesn't love a good sense of humour. I am also going to raise a point that I thinks should be considered in this games case...

Of course I'll point out if I'm not charged the price I agreed to pay. It's called being an adult.

Off the top of my head, The Lich King.

I couldn't think if any and really just came here to see what others were saying but I'll be damned it I don't agree with this. Ben and I have a love hate relationship.

I think it comes down to the competence of the writing as to whether or not "trying to be sad" comes off as emotional or ham fisted. In the hands of people who really know what they're doing I believe "intentionally sad" games will have more impact on the player than the other scenario described.

It depends on the type of food. The longest something I have eaten has "been expired" for was four years. It was some kind of breakfast cereal mix if I'm remembering it correctly.

Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes & Fairy Bloom Freesia. Granted they are really all I bought so it has to be them.
