Do you pirate?

The entertainment industry doesn't deserve my money, as they constantly put out shit in every medium. I'm not going to pay Michael Bay for making Transformers into a terrible movie, I'm not going to pay George Lucas for ruining Star Wars, nor am I going to pay Activision for putting out the same Call of Duty over and over.

Maybe when the industry steps up as a whole and invests their effort into making a quality product I'll stop pirating.

This is also another reason why I pirate. So many times have I actually bought a game and then was disappointed at how terrible it was and then went to go sell it and only get about half my money back, (also that's possible because I don't sell my games at GameStop the biggest rip off store ever made, I'm gonna go off on a tangent now, they had [I'm not sure if they still do] another branch of stores named Funco Land and when I was young me and my brothers wanted some new games for our SNES so we decided we would sell some of the games we don't really play we then picked out about 11 games went to Funco Land and they offered us a whole 30 cents for all 11 games needles to say we left with our games and never came back till it had been robbed twice and turned into a GameStop) which basically means I spend $30 on an experience that was only worth about $10 so I choose to sample games when I get the chance and if I like it then I will go give the creators my money. (also no I'm not gonna play their demo that is meant to hook you into the games so you buy it meaning it is probably really polished and most of the time is changed into something completely different in the full game)
