You confused the men here mate,i am the dude that pirate shit and it is fine. He is just an american,he can't pirate and he doesn't have the money to afford a hobby.
Sure but Piracy is also totally overrated.
Yes you save a few bucks but are stuck with an ancient version, endless computer problems, infestation with porn, lack of DLCs and must live without multiplayer, patches and practically every amenity known to man.
It is so pathetic that I occasionaly buy people from my friends list a game to end their misery, so that they can finally enjoy the game like normal people.
