That post could easily have been reduced to:
Assholes are winners, deal with it.
You just don't quite seem able to grasp the concept of virtue. Now why is that?
I disagree. You see, I have quite a bit of abandonware (which is very legally dubious). I have no intention of paying for them, even when they're available from a site like GOG because I simply don't feel like it. However, I do buy games I feel are worth playing/buying and ignore a lot that I feel aren't. Can't paint everyone with the same brush.Awor Szurkrarz said:You're missing the point here. The problem with the "honest pirate" cult is that they actually have rules against buying stuff that can be gotten for free. Their "honesty" doesn't have any practical value when they don't buy anything from what they have copies, while a person that "makes excuses" bought as much or more than a person that doesn't pirate would.

I have some perspective, little guy. It is you who doesn't, and I can explain why instead of trying to look cool and then go away without arguments.
If the entire world is so, sure, I'm compromising my own position. But I never said the entire world should be so, and it will never be so. That's the entire point, as you would know if you did read what I wrote: To have many obeying morals and rules while not doing so yourself. Therefore you benefit from them without needing to give anything in exchange.
That I choose to live in such way does not means I believe everyone should do so. The spiders need flies, indeed. Otherwise they attack each other. But that's the fun part: You can talk of this shit openly and most will never come to their senses given they have already made their minds about it and it is much easier to believe they are doing good than to accept they are just being manipulated by the bigger and meaner spiders.
The most, also, react by strenghtening their own convictions in the need of law and goodness. Because, they say, if there's so many people trying to exploit them, evil spiders and parasites, what they need is moar laws and stronger morals. Which means they are really missing the point.
And that's fine with me. The fact they react in such way, however, is the only justification you need. If that wasn't the way of the world, the way of nature, and the way of God they would actually react instead of go Bzzzz and Bzzzz (and Bzzzz). So, indeed, by discussing those thingies openly and seeing the reaction I just justify my own belief on my own ideology, given there's no sin in taking advantage of those who set themselves to be exploited.
"The slaves shall serve" is part of The Law, in the end.

You're closer to seeing the flaws of your system than I first imagined. Best of luck with those growing pains.

the most efficient sociopath has to ever maintain a facade of a nicest person on earth, internets included.

Indeed. My first thought as well. It is quite amusing watching the circle slowly being drawn. However, I am willing to bet she will draw back from the obvious conclusion before reaching it. At least for now.
How did she put it?
"The most, also, react by strenghtening their own convictions in the need of law and goodness."
Change a few words in there and it fits perfectly.

What does make you different from all the self-centered sociopaths that make decisions in Zenimax, EA, Activision and alike that fucked up the gaming industry then?

You spend all this time justifyinf yourself instead of just fucking paying up. So that says a lot about you, mainly that you are a loser. If 20 bucks is worth the same effort you put into the bullshitting and rationalizing you do in this thread then you are a failure to put it plainly.
Now you talk about rights and other people not having rights. But where the fuck do you get a right to play the game?
The funny part is you act almost like you are a badass for pirating a game.
That is, we now have DRM because of you, and we get laws passed to make it easier for the gubmint to fuck with everyone (and thanks to you will get abused to be used for much more than stopping piracy).
You seem to think piracy is unstoppable but I'll come out now and say it will be stopped at least in civilized countries.
