Poll: When do you pirate?

[feather240]

I've been wondering when people think it's acceptable to pirate something. Put you main reason in the poll. I just want to know why people usually pirate. It makes me feel better about myself.

Edit: That last sentence meant I makes me feel better watching you guys answer your morally lacking answers. "Bwahahah"

 

[CoverYourHead]

I never have and never will. I'm of too high moral fiber. Besides, game developers need to eat.

 

[JanatUrlich]

I haven't bought a cd in about two years.

 

[WrongSprite]

I swear this appeared last week.

I stick to really old stuff I can't find anywhere that nobody gives a shit about.

 

[Kiutu]

I only pirate when I have a saber and a boat. Arrrgh. Though I pirated on halloween once when I was young.
Oh...you mean illegal downloads...nope. I just dont, but I do watch my father's pirated DvDs so I guess then.

 

[Pandalisk]

I dont, tis wrong! Wrrrroooong!

 

[CakeDragon]

I thought this was a poorly-worded thread about when people act like pirates......

OT: Nope, I'm a good girl I own a few pirated videos but they've been given to me by people who get them from people who get them from people... *rinse and repeat*

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I have never pirated. I think it's wrong and hurts the developers. Sure you could argue "They already have enough money!" The problem with that is: that's the publisher, not the developer.

 

[MaskedMori]

I only pirate old games that have almost no value or Japanese games that I would never be able to get. Plus then I can get a fandubbed copy. I don't sell them so I'm sure it's not illigal.

"When the price is so low it just isn't worth it."
What?

And I download whenever I feel like it.

This.
I can't stand people who pirate.

 

[Radeonx]

When I want. Considering I'm not part of the companies, I don't care, and even so, 1 pirated item won't destroy them.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

When it's severely over-priced and and I feel like giving those rich executive bastards the royal finger, also when I can't afford it.

 

[Epifols]

Vote: When I wasn't going to buy it anyway.

I just paid for Inglorious Basterds, and it was worth it. But I'm real fucking glad I didn't pay for S. Darko.

Edit, sorry, didn't mean to quote you.

 

[XJ-0461]

Never, and I don't plan to. Yeah, I'm a goody two-shoes.

 

[ejb626]

I don't but I have a friend who litterally doesn't pay for anything he bit torrents everything he got SSBB on his Wii along with a lot of other games for free by hacking it, and he also got a shitload of PC games for free too,

I know he'd be hacking the 360 as well if it wasn't for the ban and he and my other friend for some reason are obsessed with opening the controllers and putting new LEDs and re-painting them over a 1-week process which it really don't see the point of because no one can see your controller on Live my friend explains it as "Dude, its not about Live it looks cool to you or when you bring it to a friends house" Yeah whatever I'm blabbering so end of post.

 

[War Penguin]

I don't pirate because it's too risky (or at least assume) and it's wrong.
And besides, if I did I wouldn't tell you.

[Charli]

The first two both apply to me, When it stops being sold/I already have it and It broke.

...Sorry just being truthful...
There are times where I've had an old favorite just croak on me... And I really want to play it again. If I ever see it, I'll buy it legitimately but waiting 4 years on one game I eventually gave in...

 

[MaskedMori]

Most games that are pirated are usually old-ish and have lost alot of value. It only really takes a substancial amount when sombody is selling them, and you have to sell A LOT for it to do much damage.
