I get where you're coming from but why download a game even if you don't want it just to smite them? That doesn't make sense to me unless you're downloading it through a torrent then letting it seed so other people can steal it at faster speeds then deleting the file it wouldn't effect them at all it's just one more illegal copy of a game that you weren't gonna purchase anyway all it does is drive up piracy numbers making them think everyone wants their game so they make more of the same old shit, and what do you end up with, a game that you don't even want and even inadvertently encouraging them to continue making shit which goes against why you did it in the first place, I just don't understand that.
