Wow halo 4 is already being illegally downloaded (Pirated)

While these pepople who tried to connect online to play are now banned i still think its funny that people allways think only the PC gets stuff pirated on when this clearly shows that the xbox is not exempted from such things.

BTW sorry if this has been posted i did a quick scroll on the first page and didnt see it.

Xbox at its finest... :P

Who thinks that? They sound narrow minded.

Gears of War 3 - most pirated 360 game of 2011.http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-10452-Gears-of-War-3-Was-2011-s-Most-Pirated-Xbox-360-Game.html

You can pirate pretty much anything on pretty much any platform, pretty much. Obviously, for me to provide evidence of this is contrary to Gamespots protocols.

Right on bro, I too agree that it is killing the industry, though I am not convinced copyright infringement is quite the same as stealing. But it is harmful, yes.

I don't see what's so funny. Pirates are scum, they are the reason why devs keep getting fvcked over and over, it hurts everyone.

The only useful 360 is a modded 360. :cool:

That is because I am not trolling. When I am not trolling people agree with me usually (but fanboys will still say I'm trolling regardless, but that's SW).

Noob Saibot is awesome. But my best character is Smoke. Mortal Kombat was one of my favorite games last year. I also liked MK vs DC which was Free for PS Plus members a while back, but only for European Plus members. Sony is giving us NA Plus Members the finger lately.

I don't play it online because the matches can be laggy and people spam the same damn attacks over and over. I don't find the game easy, especially on harder settings. The AI is super tough and I still can't beat the final boss in the story mode because he's so damn cheap. I get close but never can kill him.

Photography is a totally different thing, are you serious?

If everyone pirated there would be no more games. Everytime you steal a game you are costing that dev money, the people who worked hard to make that game, they put their blood and soul into it. And to steal it is to slap them in the face.

I like supporting devs, they make a great game and I am happy to reward them for their efforts. They deserve it. And in return they make more games. It's a win-win for everybody. Pirates are only harming the industry.

I love people that make moronic statements like bubububu people say the pc is the only thing that gets pirated...

Who makes that claim? the claim that is made is that PC is superior by a godlike margin in the area of piracy...PC piracy is a world wide meteor strike catastrophy comared to the small village cold outbreak that is piracy on any other platform.

Consolites at they finest. And then they call us PC Gamers pirates. :?

Actually it's due to piracey why things like DRM exist in the first place, which is why CD codes exist on PC (the biggest place for piracey). Piracey will ruin the industry, it also drives prices up due to devs wanting to make a living and having to off set their losses due to piracey.

Only people I see defend piracey on here are hardcore hermits. Which is not surprising considering PC has a piracey rate of 95%. If you don't stop it PC gaming will become a dead platform.

That's happens with litterly every single game. Every, single, one.LustForSoul

And PC gaming will become a dead platform?

[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]Which is not surprising considering PC has a piracey rate of 95%. If you don't stop it PC gaming will become a dead platform.Miroku32

And PC gaming will become a dead platform?

It will become a platform where there is zero physical distrubution of any kind (consoles will do this as well) and the devs will not support PC anymore due to piracey. Also I trust the word of a publisher over dumb fanboys in the internet.

Did you make the game? No you did not. Many devs have complained about piracey on PC, and they are focusing more on consoles and bringing their games over.

Argue with Shadowmoses or not? Let's see... Not worth my time. Blind fanboys can't be reasoned with. Miroku32

The only blind fanboys here are the one's that support piracey. They are also criminals.

It isn't stealing by any legal or logical definition. It's copyright infringement.

Change the language all you want, you cannot justify it. It's stealing, you are using a product that you did not pay for and you got it illegaly. That is stealing. I see no difference between pirating a game and walking into a store and putting the game in your pocket. It's stealing, end of story.

bit annoying they get to play the game almost a month early

piff, console gamers destroying there own industry, its a shame.

Wow Hermits finally admitting that we own the industry, bravo good sir.

oh no the hermits are angry...but you know hermits is a very fitting name it is well known that hermit crabs will inhabit most anything *basements* but not only that they will steal other stuff to live in. *piracy*

Hermits steal

""What?I was looking into my tank and noticed something sticking out of my snails shell that looked like a leg and I could swear that it was crawling around. When I took a closer look ,I could not believe it...my hermit crab ate my Astrea snail and stole his shell. Not sure if the snail was already dead or he ate him alive. Maybe I should go out and by some more shells before I lose more snails.""

And it won't have any impact on the financial success of the game.Zeviander

By what twisted logic can you possibly come to that conclusion...if you're talking relative success then yes maybe ...but in real terms they will end up with less money than if it had not happened...so based on that logic it's ok to steal from rich people or banks because the impact on them is minimal...Right..???....WRONGspiderluck

And second hand games doesn't hurt the industry?

You say piracy is bad because the devs don't get the money yet second hand gaming is rampant and it's the same, the devs don't see any of the money. True they got the money from the first initial sale (publisher probably got more) but still buying a second hand game is no different as the money goes to the store rather than the dev. Yet all the people bashing piracy have probably bought a game second hand at some point

Also the games that get pirated and then get no sales are likely sh!t games. The games that are real quality get pirated far less or if they get pirated people likely buy the game eventually anyway. This will have no effect on how good Halo 4's success will be
