Don't Be That Gamer! : Pirates

[DISCLAIMER: The opinions of TheL1T1G4T0R do not convey or represent the opinions of TQcast.com concerning piracy, gamers, or any subjects discussed within this editorial.]

There’s not much to respect about a person that joyfully steals from others and in the case of gaming pirates, it’s downright unjustified. However, that doesn’t stop these self-entitled pariahs from trying to do so. Sure you heard all the excuses but let’s take a close look at their hypocrisy.

idk why...but this seems to be mainly geared towards ps3 gamers....the pc along with the 360 have had a much bigger problem with piracy...plus the ps3 hack, as far as i see it still seems fake to me...you do make a good point...if someone is willing to put down $150 for a usb drive yet whine about the pricing of games, then there is something completely wrong with them

iamnsuperman4980d ago

That's true $150 what that is like buying 4 games at once....I can't believe hackers complain when Sony/Microsoft brick there console.....If they read the terms of agreement (you have to agree when buying the console) it clearly states they can and its justified too.....chiping your console to play free games is seriously damaging to the industry....companies are laying of people all the time hacking consoles is not going to help because they will get less money and lay of more people (or shut down completely)

FarEastOrient4980d ago

$150 for a fake hack is pretty expensive, it is money best spent else where.

This reminded me when I wanted to drop $1600 for an iMac, I almost did but instead spent $1659 on Apple shares and now that pile is worth $3900 now and that wasn't a long time ago.

At least spend that money on used games...

ndibu4980d ago

Then Sony are retards, suing people and releasing firmware that blocks fake hacks.
Sounds like you've been taking a swim in Africa's longest river

its master chief's bitch

If game pirates can download games with gigs up to 18, shouldn't devs make games with more data?

Mostly because the PS3 Jailbreak seems to be the flavor of the month. It costs practically nothing to modify your PC or Xbox 360 to play games.

It just seemed that everyone including Xbox fanboys were lining up to mod their PS3s.

I don't understand modding any console period. I don't ever recall modding consoles to be so expensive and for so many people to hop on the bandwagon at first sight.

I agree with the ps3 part but im not gonna stop downloading pc games XD

GamerSciz4980d ago

I downloaded MW2 just to see if I would enjoy the game gameplay style compared to MW, which I wasn't a huge fan of by the way. I was looking for just a single player demo and there was nothing to be found and it's been out for almost a year and is still $60. Rather then spending $60 and possibly not liking it I decided to download it and play through the SP campaign. In the end I am glad I didn't buy it. I am just waiting for MoH or Black Ops.

gcolley4980d ago

to be fair on who??? you are the exact person this article is aimed at

AssassinHD4980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

You could have rented the game to see if you would like it. A $22.95/month Gamefly subscription lets you try out any game you want, for as long as you want. Actually you can even get the cheaper $15.95/month plan if you only want to try one game at a time.

Can I Date Your Avatar: Sexual Harassment in Online Gaming (WayoftheNerd.com)

"More times than not guys have said, “I don’t see any girls playing Call of Duty!” and it isn’t limited to just Call of Duty, you can insert any game into that statement and yes, a guy has said it. But the truth is that there are plenty of females playing all of these massively popular games online, be it on PlayStation Network or Xbox Live; they are just hiding from you and this is why.

The amount of times a female gets sexually harassed over these games, in one way or another, is beyond me as a male..."

funny man!

that's the way it goes man!

women are just made of meat that men would want to eat up!

60million PSN users, now I know where the 30million half game from, and the only game on Home.

Kon4858d ago

"women are just made of meat that men would want to eat up!" That was quite disturbing.

-Alpha4858d ago

Sadly his comment is resoundingly true. That simply is how women are perceived a large majority of the time

@ Jack

A lot of crap coming from you there. So from what you say, all your ex-GFs didn't want anyone that didn't look like Brad Pitt or was rich so that makes you a liar because I seriously doubt you look like Brad and are rich. You just sound like some disgruntled troll that has been turned down and rejected a lot. Also sound like the women you did date if any dumped your ass, so now you are trashing them like you are some saint and they were the problem when it was more than likely you were the problem. Go look in the mirror before you trash on women because your LITTLE pride got hurt.

Butt hurt troll, people like you are the reason why females hide on video games so not to have to deal with losers like you who treat them like trash because they reject you.

"I don't see any girls playing Wii fit"
"I don't see any girls playing farmville"
"I don't see any girls playing... kitchen themed games"
I could go on...

Good article though! Funny :D And serious :/
That's how it should be.

Neckbear4858d ago (Edited 4858d ago )

Such foul creatures still exist?

I thought we had banished them from the pace of our manly Earth last century, and presented them with their utmost beloved friend and life companion: the kitchen.

...Guess there are still some out there that want to build a revolution.

...May the Lord have mercy on us, for all the sins we must commit to extinguish this threat aside once and for all.

Men, it is the time to rise, and fight!

But ah, on-topic:

Honestly, if you don't like it, then change your sex.

Or something.

But ah, as long as women don't go "HURR IMA GURL GAEMR GUISE!" online, I don't mind playing with them.

...Then again, nope, women that go all like "YES I'M A GIRL AND I PLAY GAMES" are in every corner of online gaming.

And beyond.

wotnerd4858d ago

It shouldn't come to that, there is no reason why girls have to take the backseat and change their gender to be able to play a game.

firefoxprime4858d ago

haha...sounds like that MEN vs. WOMEN = (galactic warfare) anime "Vandread". Check it out. Its pretty awesome.

StarScream4Ever4858d ago

Well this what happened last nite when gaming with my gf on Blk Ops.

Kid in game,"WTF! Girls don't play COD! GTFO!"

My gf,"Hey STFU kid or I'm gonna find where you live, grab you by the leg and shake you til you drop your lunch money!"

Yes girls DO play games.

distorted_reality4858d ago

I'd be quite worried if I was you.

It's only a matter of time before she shakes you down for you lunch money as well.

StarScream4Ever4858d ago

Well I pay lunch. She pays for our games. So it's a win win. :)

-Alpha4858d ago

LOL! That's an awesome comeback
