What if most of games publisher are bankrupted due to Piracy ???
Though its not something new. Ex. THQ..Gone.

Or what if we dont get games for PC anymore other than consoles ???

Just another way of seeing the problem....

I think we should respect developers who bring us these games. But I completely agree with ico that there should be a demo/trial version of the game to atleast have a look and decide whether I want to buy the whole game as it used to be in the old days. You also can't murder piracy at once as it has some positive effects too especially in developing countries.

You mean cartridges and the console is a reengineered NES system.

I can't believe that so many people have played the so called video games during childhood and no one knows that it is the Nintendo NES reengineered.

Nope.. Piracy isnt the answer even for a ripping EA simply because we have much lowered pricing (Region based) in our so called "developing-country" and you still have a choice to wait for reviews/price drops and buy if you care your money. But giving just another bullshit reason to defend piracy is only going to cost the pc gamers themselves as the developers/publishers will be happy to shift onto console rather than going bankrupt.

We can Pirate the game, I'll give an example.


Lets say Battlefield 3.

You buy the game,

Advantages-
-Play with your friend.
-Can share your game stats online (show off).
-Achievements.
-Play the campaign.

Disadvantages
-You loose cash.


You pirate the game,

Advantages-
-You didn't pay for it, i.e free.

Disadvantage-
-You can only play on single player campaign.
-You cannot play Multiplayer with your friends.
-You cannot share your stats.
-Get bored in 1 day after you complete the game.

The thing is you need to buy the game to enjoy its full content.
