I assume by some people you mean me. I'm not saying there's isn't an issue with piracy, nor am I saying used games sales and piracy are the same thing. I'm saying they're both home runs (for the consumer), it just depends on which side of the foul pole you're on. The used game market...

I demand royalties!

Not my point at all. People equate piracy to theft because it deprives people of money. Used games sales do the exact same thing, but in a different way, yet it is not considered theft. Piracy is as much like theft as used games sales are theft. Neither are actually theft. One is...

You kind of missed my point, even if I did make it poorly due to it being late at night for me and I should have been in bed. I was mainly mocking those who say that Piracy is stealing because the developer/publisher doesn't get paid. If you buy used, the developer/publisher also does not get...

As long as people stop sending me those stupid game requests, I'm all for it.

I love the "Piracy is stealing because it deprives people (developers/publishers) of money!" You know what, so does heading down to your local GameStop and buying used, but people don't equate that to stealing. "But that's different, you paid GameStop for the game!" Yes, but I also paid my...

Unfortunately I couldn't get in before the whole "Piracy is Stealing, lulz" crowd. As pointed out before, piracy is copyright infringement. When you steal something, you don't magically duplicate the item you stole, causing both you and the victim of your thievery to enjoy the last single...

It seems that I'm in the minority, but I hated FFVII and the only emotion I felt at the end of disc 1 was intense hatred and the need to Falcon PUNCH Sephiroth in the crotch. I didn't get all teary eyed, even though Aeris was the best healer in the game, since everyone could heal if I wanted...

I guess I missed my chance to get a gaming degree when I was in Utah. I guess I'll have to look for Shawnee state now that I'm in Ohio.

http://www.piersolar.com/ That's a fully functional Genesis game that was released recently. I would definitely get games for my older consoles if they were much cheaper. I can't justify paying $60 on new current gen games, there's no way I'm going to spend more than that on a third gen...

Well, it shouldn't be just atheists who counter-protest WBC, it should be anyone who sees them for who they are, a domestic terror group. I think the only reason they haven't been targeted in a Waco style raid is because they haven't tried to kill anyone over their beliefs (but they have no...

I don't think that the majority of gamers (since you didn't define which fanbase) despises religion. I would probably put it at a minority, or 40/60 at most (60 being the religious side). I might be one of the few of the non-spiritual type, but I do not despise religion, in fact I think it...

I read this paragraph over and over trying to get an idea behind this lunacy. It seems to me he is trying to say that as technology and quality increase, the amount of religious overtones in video games increase. With that increase in religion, vilification of said religion increases. I may...

This would be relevant if the entire reason for Windows was to sell Office, which it's not. There are many other reasons to run Windows, Microsoft Office is just one of many. Supporting MacOS is advantageous for Microsoft because sales of Windows won't tank because of it. A drop in the sales...

Yea, this is one thing I do like about FFXI. It wasn't really hard to learn skillchains, after a while you just learn what WS can chain with yours, and endgame, you really only concern yourself with level 3s. Even then, I'd still keep a chart handy to tell me what chains with what, or just used...
