Poll: Would the defeat of Piracy cause you to start purchasing games?

[Arehexes]

I'd dl it to see if it's worth buying (like i did with scribblenauts) and if i love it i'm buying it(like i did with scriblenauts). but some times it's hard to get the game, or it's to much to buy (like tetris DS is 35 bucks at game stop used WTF) or old games you can't find cause they are out of print. And it would hurt for me beacuse i like to try before i buy(and i refure to give blockbuster my debit card info just to rent a 360 game)

Not to tug on their nuts too much in this thread (already feels like a gamefly infomercial a little in my OT) but you should really try them. 15 bucks a month for 1 game at a time or 22 for 2. I find that I can burn through a full 60 dollar game in two days tops and with two games I'm always playing something when I'm not working, reading, or writing.

Way better than paying full price for Infamous and then slitting my wrists with the disc after I realize that I just paid full price for Infamous. (Sorry...I really think that game was sub par...just a personal opinion. Save that rant for another day.)

You figure even if people sold their games for just 2 dollars. I every person who owns a Wii bought a Wii title that was 2 dollars in the US that company would make 106,536,794. I'm hard pressed to believe that any company has released a title where 106 million dollars wouldn't be some pretty solid profits.

Yes but for my DS it is helpful when I can have all 47ish ds games and all my gba games in one card and leave them at home

Word I do the same thing.

All my DS games are at home and all my PSP games are at home. I just have the DS games on a CycloDS and the PSP games saved to my 16 GB card .

This way if either is stolen I only lose the cost of the machine and the memory cards. Which quite frankly is better than hundreds of dollars in games.

After all I am not made of money (anymore...got it fixed at the doctor...since I had to pay for healthcare....BOOM! *bows to the audience*)

word on the same wave length XD

I never pirate games. The way I see it, buying a new game is lke getting a box of chocolates. Sometimes you get the camerals, sometimes the nougat.

But I cannot help but feel, aaagh, my money.

Piracy will never die. (Didn't you pay attention during that song at the beginning of the second Pirates of the Caribean movie? Great, now I have that song in my head again.)

I buy all my games so hahaha (pulls disgustingly smug expression)

 

[beddo]

I pay for my games irrespective of piracy.

In Australia there is a certain retailer with a 7 day no questions asked return policy.

I don't download games to begin with. I don't care if other people do, it's all good.
To me, it just doesnt feel right, I wanna own the real thing. The feel of authenticness.
Also, to some extent, I want to support the game companies that I think do a good job at delivering quality games. I've had this discussion with many of my friends, while some argue they will not support the company giants, contributing to thier cash-flow, I don't really have a "vaild" argument besides owning the real thing feels better för me.
