    Yes people make creative things, but they don’t make games that requires a game studio and give them away for free. I feel that you should understand this. Perhaps you don’t.

    I pirated as a kid too because I didn’t have money and I loved games. But I knew that others paid for their games and that’s why they could make them.

    Now as an adult, I’m paying for my games. Because I have the money and it’s worth it. If you don’t, that’s fine too. I dont judge. But just quit the stupid copyright argument. :)

      They used to, they called it shareware. It could happen again.

      Look, if my personally ignoring copyrights for certain things causes certain media companies to go bankrupt and causes a whole re-think of how the creative economy should work, I think that’s a good thing. I don’t think my choices are that powerful, but we can always hope.

        I get it, I also think capitalism is a very low consciousness system where you destroy everything in the end. I often feel this place is ridiculous because of that. Some kind of school for the most retarded. However, I got put here so… Maybe I’m not so smart.

      The “copyright argument” they made was that pirating isn’t stealing, it’s violating copyright, and (implied) that these are two different things. I’m pretty sure this argument hasn’t been knocked down yet, so a bit premature of you to call it stupid.
