The entertainment industry doesn't deserve my money, as they constantly put out shit in every medium.
I love this sentence so much because it shows the sheer bollocks logic. They make shit games so I'll pirate it. So, either way you end up with the game anyway. So let me ask you, if it's so shit, why do you want to own it?
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.

So what you're saying is, being the Entertainment industry MUST go by YOUR standards. Michael Bay makes crappy films so that gives me the right to take ANYTHING from Hollywood. I'm not going to pay Activision/George Lucas anything again so I'll pirate it, completely ruining the credibility of your argument.

You saying they suck is a point but pirating it just means that you wanted it anyway.

When has that EVER been the case; where the demo isn't the final product of the game?

Feel free to have a laughing face on when you read about people in the gaming industry that have been losing their jobs and studios have to be closed down.because at the least they have one more person playing their game as opposed to nothing. Movie wise, I have to agree with Melirune that the industry has become so bloated that I see little problem with it
What!? That's not even a reason!, and I do go to the theater now and then if I feel like it or if I'm with friends (The Avengers), but if I have to either try and track down a DVD of a movie that I want to see, waste gas to go pick it up or pay shipping charges and wait 2-3 weeks for it to arrive, I see absolutely no problem with pirating it.
That's only because you have no patience.

As for ROMS, Homebrew channel has emulators for the Gameboy-SNES and Dreamcast.

Does it not surprise me that developers end up locking content, not giving games to certain regions and put DRMs on games because people pirate their games and use excuses.

Quote:Meh meh meh I don't wanna wait for shipping charges so I'll pirate it.

The only reason you don't mind pirating games is because you "THINK" it doesn't hurt anyone and that you haven't been caught. So you'll keep doing it.

Must be great to you 3 were your job can't be downloaded through the Internet right.
Fuck me
