SuiseisekiP.S. Natalie is awesome.
P.P.S. Oh god I sound like Lucavi

Suis is awesome.Lucavi is sweet anyways.

TirithRRIf you wish to be a pirate, feel free to be so. But don't lie to yourself to make yourself feel better about it. Understand what you are doing. :)

Took the words straight from my keyboard.

sometimes why would you want to pay when you're succumbed to such conditions,

Why would you want to steal it?

NatewlieIf they wanted the game, they could of still bought it if they really wanted it. You know, even if you get 5 dollars a week, you could save for a month and buy the game. I'm sure people try before they buy (I do) but that still doesn't justify the guy whom you're downloading from is spreading to people who don't try before you buy, and just pirate and play. Either way, Nintendo's losing out.Now you don't really have to try out a game, now there's gaming media, there's trailers, gameplay videos, video reviews, and reviews (preferably without arbitrary numbers).You can justify piracy anyway you want, you're still stealing. Everyone should know this before they download, you can chose to ignore it or take note of it. I'm not trying to tell pirates to fuck off or anything, I'm one. Although I give the high five to any dev or publisher who gets their grubby dirty hands on them or comes up with a clever way to push away piracy.EA is doing something good with the code thing they've been doing with Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2 and soon Battlefield BC2. That's a good way to combat piracy on the consoles and a good way to shoo away used games sales.

You're really awesome. I'm actually surprised at your level of thinking, to be honest. Usually, on a forum like this (Hacking forum, as a generic term), people don't really want to hear how "bad" hacking is. However, you're rebukes rather enlightened me.I'm really starting to reconsider what this "hobby" really is. Every time I download some ROM, I consider how much trouble someone had to go through to get it on the internet, before it's even released in stores. This hobby is nothing but a manifestation of wanton greed that we consider "gaming", with our shiny flashcarts and anti-piracy patches, easily throwing off nintendo's (among others) feeble "anti-hacking" chains.I will admit, I feel bad ocasionally for downloading nintedo's products. Anything other than nintendo titles, I could care less(like final fantasy or megaman, for example). I personally like nintendo as a company, so I usually buy nintendo titles instead of pirating them, which I guess is good for them, in a very,very small way.. I don't know.Anyway, you're really cool, so, yeah. Nice posts. None of what I said was sarcasm, if it came off that way.

I don't think piracy is anything right or just, but I do have empathy for those pissed off about Assassin's Creed II's DRM -grumbles- and Spore's goddamned "install it five times and then it's a dud" policy. -grumbles-I usually pirate to try the game (because no business is really willing to lend DS games, seeing as how fragile they are), and then buy it if I like it. And then I just let my brothers have the original game while I play my ROMs. I don't want to start over and leave my awesome sav file neglected, you know.Anyway... giving away video games can really show you care, but that isn't the only way to show someone that you're willing to step in and help them on their path to their future. Of course if you get too close to the kid people start staring at you, and... ugh. I hate that about American society! But I say that if you really care about the kid, and he or she doesn't care about what anyone else things, you won't buckle down to anyone's neuroses, right?

I very rarely ever play a ROM to the end. However, I usually ALWAYS play a physical game to the end. Right now, I own 12 or so physical games, and they're all really good ones that I never even considered pirating (like pokemon platinum, both zeldas and NSMB).I think pirating is a little easier to stomach if you have an intention of buying the actual game. Not without consequence, of course.I also notice how few people have even heard of flashcards. I tell people how good I am at pokemon, and they're like,"action replay?"..."No, I use flashcard"..."a what?". Even the people of my age group (16+) dare not venture past limewire. It's actually pretty...reassuring that people (of one of the most greedy age groups) don't hack more than music. Barely anyone downloads youtube videos, and no one even attempts...*gasp*movie downloading.Anyway, paddette and natelwie got' the concept down,so I guess I'll leave the rest to them..

yeah i heard yesterday i was comming to post it accualy ^.^ but in Aust a game can cost AU$50-$70 its just to much... also computer games, most are about AU$100 lucky me i already have my flashcard but mines is an M3 Real. even though i am a pirate (correct term?) myself im glad Nintendo is doing something about it

hit him right between the eyes!

Suiseiseki · #43Why would you want to steal it?

you mean you wouldn't want to play call of duty 6 modern warfare or one of the other highly acclaimed games?! i'm shocked!i'm really shocked that all the members on this board has not downloaded system shock yet. nor have they downloaded great ancient pc games from the mid to late 90's. there are people on this board who own a wii and they have said that the best thing about it is the hack. there are people who are pirating on a console when they can clearly purchase the game.

*WHOOOOSH!*That's the sound of Suiseiseki's point flying over Ultra's head.

ultra · #49you mean you wouldn't want to play call of duty 6 modern warfare or one of the other highly acclaimed games?! i'm shocked!i'm really shocked that all the members on this board has not downloaded system shock yet. nor have they downloaded great ancient pc games from the mid to late 90's. there are people on this board who own a wii and they have said that the best thing about it is the hack. there are people who are pirating on a console when they can clearly purchase the game.

I wouldn't want to play it, because I hate FPS games and "critical acclamation" is for the most part bullshit to me. But still, "major changes" aren't a valid reason for pirating a game. If you're so curious, buy it or rent it. You were asking why you'd want to buy it. My riposte is: why would you steal it? You still didn't answer it, and what's more, you've deviated from my question and started bitching about Wii and System Shock.

here's another example, people love command and conquer.
you've been dedicated to the game and love the game. then this happens.http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/20/command-and-conquer-4-wont-have-lan-support-or-dedicated-servers/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+weblogsinc%2Fjoystiq+%28Joystiq%29&utm_content=Google+Readerno one want to pay that crap. so you'll might as well pirate and play. why would the company decide to take those features out. no one asked them and all the gamers have loved those features from the past releases. there is no merit for omitting them.i know a lot of people love star craft and when blizzard decides to announce some major changes like no lan, then you'll see a lot of dedicated star craft gamers pirating the game.i love piracy. it's a dreadful act but it's a good dreadful act.

"good dreadful" does not compute
system terminatedWell... Uh, we've established that piracy hurts companies, kids need more than video games to grow up well, and that some people commit piracy because of anger at DRMs. Is there anything else I'm missing here?

ultra · #52i love piracy. it's a dreadful act but it's a good dreadful act.

God damn ultra, I'd never thought you'd jump off the deep end.

Well... I guess if you really think about it, sex can be dreadful but good at the same time, right?

Depends on performance on the man's part in the man's perspective.

I don't know, sometimes a big part of it is the microwave's fault... Of course I've never had sex before, let alone sex with a man (epic shock, I know), so what do I know?

Replying to #57

I thought you knew everything, considering how awesome you are.

In America, anyone under eighteen can't possibly sexual. Oh no. Childhood masturbation is just a myth, I say!God damn it.But who I really feel sorry are for the girls. They can't really do anything without "equipment," huh? At least with guys, all you need is butter.

The age of consent is under 18 (16 or 17 usually) in half of the states of the US.

The average human is born with ten fingers. A woman has more than enough natural equipment to do anything she wants.How did the topic get here from nintendo suing pirates?
