you corporate fatcats living in your own homes, when all these free alternatives. all these "for sale" homes, with free electricity, housing. sometimes you just have to murder the family living their still, but even better, you get free water, and cloths that way too.

Enough, start your own thread for how dumb it is to pirate good games from small studios and keep it out of here else I'll start Ned Starking the lot of you.

uh huh, keep telling yourself you're not stupid for paying for a single player game that has no use after its played through once.

Without us stupid people who pay for things, there would nothing for you to steal.

You should at least appreciate us.

If you want to pirate games, especially fan-favorite ones like this, just go to cs.rin.ru like everyone else. You're not going to get any sympathy here, not even from people like me who think that it's hypocritical to condemn videogame piracy while at the same time downloading movies, music, tv shows, porn, e-books, etc.

That said, I will call you a retard for your stance on single player vs. MP games.

Pirate: EA, Ubisoft, Activision and anything related to Randy Pitchford - as much as you want too. In fact we should have everyone in the world pirate their crap. Play all their shitty games for an hour to get over our morbid curiosity, and delete them promptly. Drive them into bankruptcy. Awesome.

Purchase: Rockstar, Ken Levine's stuff, this game, and every other developer that is open and honest with their game title where quality is front and center, you aren't nickle and dimed to death, and they have good consumer friendly practices.

There. Done

I need to find my DVI to HDMI cable and optical out cable - preload on Steam is done and these guys deserve my cash if anything because they included 16 DLC packs for free with purchase which proves to us all pretty handily that it doesn't take a lot of resources to add these tinkets to the game, and this particular developer thanks us for purchasing their title.

Keep up the good work, to the good devs.

Strangely enough I don't steal video games. I've only ever torrented ancient shit that I can't find elsewhere but already paid for anyway. Riven, Deus Ex, Alpha Centauri. And since GoG I haven't even had to do that, really.

I will steal the shit out of some television though. Rarely pirate movies, either.

Television and cars though. I'll download both. Because ethics.

I made it before Tarrant starts shadowbanning people. He gets triggered by off topic shit posting.

I think what death wing was referring to is this forum doesn't really deal with torrents. Talking about it in passing, but links or anything like that is right out.

I assumed what Deathwing was referring to was:

"i never played either witcher i dont own a console (i dont care about storyi just want fun gameplay), and ive read here how bad each Pc port has been so i didnt want to ruin what seemed to be a good series by picking up broken ports."

That's so completely and utterly wrong that it seems like he's talking about an entirely different game series.

I went from almost never torrenting games to torrenting pretty much everything before I buy it after Simcity. I don't feel bad at all.
