Doesn't make it a wrong excuse.

You guys look epic discussing this. :laughing:

Why make $300 serve 1 person when it can serve thousands?

Let me remind you of RESURRECTiON thoughts:
  • If people have the dollars and love your software, they will buy it.
  • If people don't have the dollars & even without the availability of cracks, they won't buy.
  • If people can crack your software, does it means your software protection is bullsh*t?
  • Isn't availability of cracks a free advertisement for software?

And let us not forget the first 'pirate'... Jesus. For this I refer to Matthew 14:15-21

It's not an excuse, it's just how it is.

..and of course, I'm selfless enough to give money for something inferior to what I got for free. ... I buy a few things, but I'm also a pirate. Now deal with it.

That being said, I do try and buy games when I can afford it and I feel like the game is worth it.

Totally, see as examples World of Goo (90% piracy) or Machinarium (90%, too) or CoD 6 (also like 60-70% on PC).
Can you explain me how people are apparently unable to pay the 5 bucks for machinarium? I'd love to see the computers they run.

True for some examples, as I said, for most it isn't/

The unbreakable protection has to be found yet. Also bs, because if your software was bs, you were not to crack it.

Totally, tell the developers of such indie games on how they roll with their 'free' advertisement. They'll love to hear about it.

I'm not at all pious, but that's simply just blesphemic and disrespectful. :\

That's what the Somalian pirates say, too!

Bai, still illegal. And then, how can you afford a PC but not <= $50 for software for it?

Dunno, but last time I checked you could buy most things in a store with money bills and stuff.

I will buy all my software when I have a job (at least the software that has personal licenses affordable for a single person). The money I have available each month right now barely covers living expenses. I will still not buy movies or series, there's no real legit digital market for that yet and I'm not giving copyright organizations a single cent. Music can be bought digitally by now (mostly.. while what.cd is still a lot better), but movies? Tell me where to buy that stuff in mkv, x264/h264 etc and I might do it for really good stuff. But physical discs can gtfo.
Also, being able to afford a PC does not mean you have tons of money. It means you saved up over a longer time and then you get the hardware, to be used for a longer time.
That being said, I also don't like the piracy rate of indie games. Indie needs to be supported and their prices are really reasonable.

I agree here. Most times you buy music digitally, it's shitty V2 MP3. If you've got decent audio hardware, that's totally useless.
Also, I find it terribly annoying when games require CD/DVDs in the drive. Even for all games I legally own, either there's no copyprotection or I use a crack.

You have to admit that people who can afford $700+ PCs should be able to gather those $50.

I in general dislike piracy of games, because even if it's EA or Rockstar, that only gives them more motivation to drop the PC and go more for consoles.

Saying "Abandon the PC and go for Console" doesn't mean piracy goes away. The Wii is very easy to pirate.

That maybe so, but the income for console variants is currently (especially on PS3/Xbox 360) much higher than on the PC for any game.
