I had originally pirated Aquaria from a torrent.
But once I saw that was a wonderful creation it was, I bought the game.![]()
I'm so picky about games, that I find torrents of games, and if I like them enough, I support the company/creators.
It's so ridiculous to pay up the ass for some heartless/thoughtless games being marketed by uncaring corporations, that I find using torrents useful for testing out games. Yes, there could be an argument over the use of demos, but sometimes I find that demos end up being totally different of what the game actually is.
Tho I still pirate anime, some programs, and some music, for I very much agree with Glamador's point of view. But, like with Aquaria, I will support if I find the quality to do so.
Am I dead yet?
I found out about the game through torrent posts and comments, tried the demo and promptly purchased the game. your moral compass points in the same general direction as mine and Zeus hasn't smote me with lightning yetthere's dozens of bands that I've gone to see in person that I wouldn't have even known about if it weren't for p2p, there is a significant unquantifiable upshot of p2p in general and it's those sorts who hoarde and then try and profit off of piracy that need to walk the plank
