When discussing Resistance 2's review score in EDGE, Rider_on_the_Storm said "Does it really matter that Edge gave the game a 6? If you enjoyed the game then who gives a f**k what Edge thinks!"
Yet when EDGE gives Gears Of War 2 a 9/10 gives enough of a **** to post a comment saying that the Gears games are for "meatheads".
I am a meathead who hasn't a chance to play Gears Of War 2 yet, currently playing L4D and Fallout 3, but certainly looking forward to it when I've got time off work over Xmas. EDGE's review was well written and covered all the bases enough to guide my decision to purchase the title.
varl's "humorous image" aptly demonstrates the naivety of the freetard arguement, just because there is no physical product does not make it okay. The point is a product/service is being offered for sale but some people use it without paying.
I agree with Torbjorn.Caspersen's ironic point, I too know people who will buy two $500 graphics cards for their SLI PC but pirate software simply because they can; they always say things like "if I like it, I'll buy it" but their actions speak louder than words because they never do.
talba007's statement "even Crysis, the most pirated game of all time, made a profit" also reminds me of comments I've heard from pirates (not saying you're one), like "they make enough money". Yeah well who exactly are the pirates to determine that? Profit could mean they made £1, or £10, or £100, or £1000 more than it cost to make; if shareholders do not receive a decent return on investment they will simply more their cash elsewhere and we'll see the end of PC gaming. Take a look at LucasArts and "The Force Unleashed", where's the PC version?
