    Never heard of it either. Between iptorrent and usenet, never really needed anything else.

    I used usenet all the time in college since torrents were blocked. I don't pirate as much anymore outside of a few PC and PSP games.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    pretty much this. I have a rle of thumb that if the game is on a system you can't even purchase anymore it's all good. Highest I've gone is like...game cube...lol

    What system can't be purchased anymore? Or is your rule flexible to stuff you're too lazy to purchase?

    Or stuff that can't be purchased new? The stuff that purchasing wouldn't support the console nor game developers anyway? Stuff old enough that the functioning of the hardware/cartridge/save battery is an issue?

    my snes no longer works, gameboy is god only knows where in my house, etc. etc. I don't feel the urge to purchase them again when nintendo would get zero from it.

    I always felt copyrights should disappear once a company no longer offers the product. But, obviously, I am well aware that isn't the case.

    Pirating is the modern age of demoing for me.

    I'll torrent weeks before the game is out. If I enjoy it I'll buy it and throw it in the vidya collection (Increases long-term value by keeping it sealed anyways).

    If the game is garbage I'll keep it on the seedbox seeding and let the dev/publisher suffer for producing a complete pile of shit.

    It's a pretty simple formula for rewarding those who produce a stellar product, and punishing those who don't. All without wasting money or feeling buyers remorse.

    Never heard of this website. Too bad, I guess? And peeps trying to feel better about themselves by 'testing' shit out before they 'buy.' I mean, please.
