Maybe, but that doesn't make what PRS is currently doing less bad. They should just take the cost of the tribunal out of the funds set aside for administrative purposes, or if they really don't have enough, take it out of the CEO's bonus or ask the share holders to swallow the cost.
What's important to realize here is how we obtain those games, and buying second-hand is not piracy. She says to someone who purchases second hand movies to avoid paying the MPAA anything. Yes, I'm aware that buying second hand isn't piracy, and you'd have known that if you'd read my later comment. All I was implying is that I don't make up for the EA and Ubisoft games I don't have by obtaining them illegally, preferring to get similar titles from other developers instead. This was supposed to calm down any industry representatives who would jump to the assumption that just because I'm not purchasing certain titles must mean I'm pirating them.
EA and Ubisoft clearly have no intention of changing their ways and gamers are still buying the games. Which equates to wanting to 'pay nothing for it' how? You know, when you say stuff like that, you sound just like an industry shill.
Ah, the old "serve the customer better by limiting their options," as seen everywhere DRM/DRM-esque restrictions are applied. FTFY, Tim. After all, sex and gender aren't binary.
Not banks in the UK. They have the basic password security of online fora, and the best ones have the entire site HTTPS rather than just the login page.
Googling Jeb Bush, I found out that he's the younger brother of the previous President of the United States. Why doesn't that surprise me? The only thing that could cause me greater surprise (and not much at that) is if it was discovered that Jeb was actually his mother's lovechild by an underage George Dubya (five is possible with precocious puberty).
Song I just wrote: We are poor, (playing poor) So we're going to charge you more With an evil laugh and a mad rush to the bank This is how we create wank
Good song to use in an advert for a certain 'service', no?
Oh, I didn't forget those atrocities, of course. Simply suggesting that the Halliburton (strike)theft(/strike) (strike)mismanagement(/strike) (strike)carelessness(/strike) Oh, fuck it. You know what I'm getting at.
Me either, not even second hand. This might sound paranoid, but what's to stop them adding second hand sales to popularity stats for their games? Add in (actual) infringement figures, and it would explain why their games have more fans than buyers.
Apologies for my sarcastic and inappropriate comment. I'm not having the best day with my multiple cognitive disabilities, so didn't realise at first that you were actually replying to Violynne rather than me. God, I hate the way comments are nested on this site! :(
[...] we have idiotic game developers who want it all but want to do nothing to encourage consumers to buy the games. FTFY, Violynne. ;) If I want it, I'll head to Gamestop where they get the money and I get the game, screwing EA and Ubisoft both. Whereas if I want a game by EA or Ubisoft, I'll look for something similar from a different developer and get that instead. I'm screwing them both harder than you are, and all without piracy.
