why add that you pirated it in the topic? im tired of seeing these topics for demigod on various forums saying "oh i pirated it and now i want to buy it" you think that makes it ok?

why not just call the store up and ask them if they have collectors edition? imo your post was usless and should be deleted.

No, because (as it was pointed out in another piracy thread) pirates are cooler than people with self control who obey the law.

they should legalize it

it wouldn't be so cool then

no but really, legalize IT

Oh good lord. Piracy isn't the end of the damn world. Calm down people.

I've pirated stuff, more so in my past than now. I hardly ever pirate things now but ocassionally if the moon strikes me I might grab a song that's catchy but in no damn way worth an entire CD purchase.

Bottom line is really, it doesn't matter. Get off the high horse =P

Ouchy Dathurts,

Yep,  I often find myself walking along......passing a grocery store.......oops struck by moon.......feel like a SIP of milk......oooo look here...a bottle of milk.......yum......sooo tasty but definitely NOT worth standing in line and paying for the bottle!

YARRRRRRR

Except those artists aren't your friends, and they didn't give you permission to grab that beer.

Pirate all you want, but it is wrong, and you are stealing...no matter what empty half baked justifications you try to make.

Yup, I bet you would have quit gaming all together if it weren't for torrents

Again, the artists dont really give a shit. The companys give a shit. Big difference. The artist says taking a beer doesn't really matter, mommy says no.

So the devs should be thanking your action of pirating it for the resulting sale?  Am I the only one to whom this sounds crazy?  Please god I can't be the only one........sigh

Well, it does sound a bit crazy. But it's true. Without the option to rent PC games, and without a demo coming for a while(basicly, if it comes after SF4's PC release, it's a long time for me... heh...), it's kind of hard to evaluate a purchase unless you've been really hyped up about it. Demigod was just something that came up on the horizon soon after its release for me, and it looked fairly interesting, but mixed reviews and remarks really pushed me away. It wasn't until I played a few rounds of single player that I figured the game and its mechanics were worth a purchase.

I'm not saying that they should be thanking my actions(other then the act of actually purchasing it, of course), but that it's not all black and white. Stardock themselves said they don't care about pirates. And hey, if it works as a poor man's demo, so be it. It got my money that way.

Thank you for stealing our game. We're glad you liked it and decided to then buy it. We were hoping that our hard work would pay off and if it wasn't too much trouble hoped you'd actually pay for it. You can now go to heaven.

cheers
