I had a Steam user tell me the almost all of the games on TPB where from gog. I'm not of the mind that every pirated copy is a "lost sale", but that doesn't mean piracy isn't a concern. piracy amounts to a slap on the wrist from your ISP and is incredibly easy, and "everybody does it", it's a real problem. A DRM-free store is a good idea, but they're trusting the public to not just leech everything for free, and since software/media etc.

Yellowblanka: Wasn't there some thread years back where somebody posted a screenshot to a torrent containing basically the entireity of GOG's catalog (at that point)?.

At the same time i will never ever buy the game from a publisher who sells graphical options in dlc or cuts out stuff from the game just to sell it as a DLC (brightest examples are Sega with the TW series for example or Bioware(i know they were no the publisher) with ME). I am not telling you that it's a righteous thing but i am just sharing the way of life and my point of view. Well i buy those games cos i have a reasonable sense of respect to the developer and publisher and that motivates me. Casual piracy by people well able to afford their games (they can afford the computer to run the games/broadband connection to pirate them after all), is pretty rampant. Yellowblanka: I hear that justification all the time, but then if somebody has a presumably working copy of a game on their hard-drive, what's motivating them to pay $60 for a legal license? I don't buy that most people are going to do the right thing when they have a working copy of a game, and the penalty for piracy is a slap on the wrist from their ISP.

It resulted in perma-ban though they sent keys to all users(so the goal was kinda achieved anyway) and I Havn't been purchasing stuff in Steam since then, thoug i still use some stuff i already had in it aswell as some gifts from friends.

Rozenman: Actually piracy is a legit(by my standarts of life not by the law) way to try the game before byuing it(you can check how they will run on your rig etc, another moment for it, it is the so-called DLC prostitution which is quite severe nowadays and some other douche-style publisher moves.Not to mention the fact that some games have very bad EULA where you technically don't own the game but just have the right to use digital code.Īs for Steam I have perma ban on it's forums for "promoting piracy" which was just a lame excuse for the fact that they sold out a game without cd-keys and I made a big rant topic about that in which i said that they force me to crack the game or pirate it instead of purchasing games from them.
