Im an honest gamer.I pay for everything that i play and download.It just makes me angry that lots of people play the same game as i do and they didnt even pay for it!

How about you, do you pay honestly for you games?

Absolutely. I always pay for my games. The only case where I don't pay for a game is when a friend of mine lends me a game to play. And I never actually keep the game, since it's not mine...haha.

I'm rather against the whole "illegally download the game" business.

I don't even know how to pirate games.

It still pisses me off that i have to steal a keycode to play a pc game on my second computer. Of course i havnt done that since i was thirteen because there have not been pc games that cought my intrest. cant wait for starcraft 2 and diablo3

Yes I buy all my games except the ones that are gifts. I think its only cool if you download a game thats just in Japan or something. Like Bleach for the psp. Now I don't know how to do this and I probably wouldn't but I still hope thosee Bleach games come the NA someday...

Piracy is something that will never go away, just look at black market dvd's and now blu-rays for crying out loud. I for one don't take part in it in the gaming world anyways, hey have to admit I own a feel DVD's and Blu-rays, just couldn't resist...but for games all natural all the way baby.

I don't really care if people pirate games.

I don't think the problem is really that widespread. Hopefully a lot of people realize that they are just hurting the industry at large by pirating, and themselves in turn.

That said, I really don't frown upon emulation or torrents of older or rarer games. You gotta play them somehow.

As long as media exist's their will be somebody getting it for a better price. I've never done it, but it dosen't bother me that other people pirate.

I would never pirate modern video games, whether they be massive HD PC games, or petty DS titles.

However, I would understand pirating if someone REALLY wanted to play a rare game that's like 15 years old, but couldn't buy it, for it costs over $100 on eBay or Amazon. I haven't experienced this myself, for I was able to get a VERY GOOD copy of FFVII for $50.

I also believe the pirating of foreign games is justified. Websites often have unreasonable price tags for these games, and as much as people frown at those for pirating, it's something you just have to accept in this country of growing poverty...

I used to yell at my friends for pirating all of their movies, but I later realized that it made me look like a rich ***hole in the end. Games cost $60 a pop these days if they are on the HD consoles, and people sometimes don't have the money, so you're just going to have to accept it.

I know personally that it feels better to have actually purchased the game with your own money, but nobody but our poor law enforcement has any right to shun them for what they do.

i gameshare my PSN games with my cousin.  i wouldn't consider that piracy though...

Problem is, society does not care for the industries that continually gouge the consumer. How is it fair that I pay 60 dollars for a piece of junk game that barely registers gameplay mechanics? If you can justify that, then justify this:

I really don't support piracy. The only pirating thing I have on my PC is Photoshop, and even then, my younger brother got that piracy and I made him pay for it by deleting it and then making hime go to Best Buy and buying his own Photoshop.

Most pirated games out there are PCs and PSP games. I haven't heard anything else being pirated.

nah, i pay for all the games i play. if a developer will take the time and energy to make great game, i think they should be compensated for it.

I pay because I want to continue to play. I rent also to help out with cost because I play alot.

Also, does anyone else think "i only buy really cheap games from bargain bins" is code for piracy (sometimes, not every instance)
