I'm pretty sure even my mum has heard of The Pirate Bay.

Its not worth pirating PC games, same with PSP games, i dont think ive paid more than £17 for a game on either system in the last year, and have about 30 odd games to show for it, all top quality releases. (actually god of war cost me 22.99 now i think about it).
The only games worth copying are console ones, due to the cost of them.

the what-now?
I don't understand this, PSP games don't interest me so the ones I do download I only have a 20 minute bash or so, how is it more worthy of a purchase?
It's always worth downloading games if the alternative is paying, the only games I don't download are Valve and multiplayer ones.

If they dont interest you, why do you download them? It dosent make any sense.
Its worthy of a purchase because the product is cheap, although i fully appreciate some people will steal anything if they can get away with it.
If thats how you feel then fine, but surely you can see why people being so blatent about doing so is annoying? I've never been intersted in pirated software, games are never that much anyway.
you only have to google pirate site to find the best of them.
but lets face it...dmc4 is more of a console game and getting released a fair bit later its never really going to sell well on the pc./
Looked at the game. Looked at all the others on the PC, did not buy it, didnt look like a good PC game at all to me.
I didnt download it, didnt even try the demo, but i did play it on my mates consol, chipped by the way...

Why do I download them? Well, it's a case of because I can, I don't find it an inconvenience to download something over buying it, plus PSP's without custom firmware blow, UMD's = blurgh.

Game sells badly = OMG PIRATES!
I can stab people randomly, I can pee in my housemate's slippers, I can scratch cars with my keys as I walk home from work, I can listen to a word iBot says.
I don't though..
Losing batle there mate, I keep telling myself not to get involved in these threads, but it always ends up winding me up!
Never listen to iBot

If you dont like them though, theres no point in downloading them. PSP is great without a custom firmware, it does everything that i need it to do, the custom firmware offers nothing of value, i would never play an emulator on it.

DMC4 bombed because in many peopels eyes it was a mediocre console port at best, a delayed one at that. Consumers said no thanks, and yet Capcom blame the pirates for their own mediocrity.....lol
I don't know whats worse, them using the lame piracy card, or indirectly calling consumers idiots for not being dumb enough to buy their crap
Bottom line: Make top notch PC games and people WILL buy them. Consumers are not idiots, which is something these top Software Houses need to learn...
