[quote who="SimRex" reply="22" id="2201908"]I'm not sure if this has been covered in the previous posts, but meh... Let's consider the not-too-distant future. If we take the "If it can be duplicated without negligible cost, there should be no scarcity and everyone should get a free copy" point of view, and let's assume that everybody on the planet does because that's the freetard utopian dream, suddenly nobody's buying a copy. Hurray! However, to make awesome

[quote who="Extremist" reply="17" id="2201293"] Quoting floodiastus, reply 16The world is a place of injustice, some people do NOT work at all, and have millions of dollars, some people work 365 days a year, 14 hours a day, and make 10 dollars a month. Perhaps they should save for 2 years to be able to buy a piece of software/culture or anything else that can be copied (not stolen) for free. Myself, I bought the game, I belong to the rich western part of the world that can aff

Again, extrapolating something that was not said in my post. I'll try again: if you can afford a computer that costs several hundred dollars, and you can afford to have it connected to an internet connection, don't come whining and crying about not bein

Alright, I'll take the other side: If I did pirate the game, who did I hurt? It didn't harm anyone any more than breathing the air that they hypothetically could need would. In fact, it did so little harm it would be nearly imp

[quote who="Coelocanth" reply="1" id="2200217"] Quoting db0, reply 6 So you're saying that people should only be paying for luxuries? I'm down with that. Where's my free food? I'm not sure how you extrapolated that from my statement, but if food were able to be copied like software, yeah, I'm all for it being free. I just have to shake my head at the rationalizations for illegal copying of software. "Oh, these people are too poor to afford to buy the software".

[quote who="psychoak" reply="10" id="2194807"]Software is culture, culture is not software. Stupid statement. Gold plated toothpicks might be the cultural choice of some retarded rich guy with no brains, that doesn't entitle the rest of the world to gold plated toothpicks. It wouldn't entitle you to kill yourself with heavy metal poisoning just because someone else has decided to pay for such an activity. What merit ther

[quote who="Coelocanth" reply="5" id="2193845"]Last time I checked, food was a necessity to live. I'm pretty sure you can't put software in that category.[/quote] So culture is only for the rich parts of the world?

the friends list is very bugged, the IM does not work correctly, also what surprising is that there is no ingame-browser as there is in steam. Especially since demigod OPs in the official channel keeps linking to URLs which arent even clickable in the ingame irc client.....

For all those so oppossed to piracy. I would like you to think about the world if food could be copied indefinetly so there were no starvation in the world. The same kind of logic would be applied. people would go: "but those people didnt PAY for it, they should not be entitled to it". It seems alot of you law-riders, seem to think the same economic standard is equal around the world, that is pretty ignorant imho. I believe that those that cannot afford, should pirate! What make
