Re: Pirates playing a game dev simulator complain about piracy
#2This is just pure gold. When I was younger, I always pirated stuff because I didn't have the money nor the means. But today, my Steam collection is worth over a 1000 dollars and I buy more games I could play.
It hurts me when people my age (27) don't consider buying stuff they like. I mean, you are paying the creators of the stuff you like so that they can create more of it.
No one wants to work for free, why should we expect others to do it? Just because there is zero cost to digitally copy something doesn't mean that it was made with zero cost.

It would be very interesting to see the age demographic of people that pirate this kind of thing. I used to pirate (allegedly) stuff when I was a kid too.

#4Interesting article, even though I rarely play electronic games, except the free games in the FreeBSD ports tree.

#5Great article! If you get paid to produce software for a living, it strikes me as pretty crazy to happily rip-off other people's work.

#6It's a bit of a stretch to complain that so many people 'stole' the game when they put their own cracked copy on BitTorrent.

#7Wow, this is brilliant. One of the biggest complaints that pirates have is DRM. If a game is DRM free then why not purchase it? Especially if you really like it and it's only $8!
Great post guys, good luck.

#8I haven’t bought any game released after 2004[0] – simply because in my opinion, gameplay has suffered a lot lately. I can recall spending years building stuff in Pharao when I was a kid and recently had a lot of fun (months!) playing Patrician II/III, bought from GOG. Where are these games nowadays?
[0] The latest game I bought on Steam was Counter Strike: Source, mostly because it was on sale and bundled up with some other stuff that actually works on my computer.

Have you tried Minecraft? There are players racking up thousands of hours with it.

Oh, really?
Someone else would have done the same, and you know it. I think this strategy was brilliant.
