I was playing Live For Speed again this morning and I'm still stunned
by just how good it is, considering it's being developed by such a
small team.

I had to stop half way through a race to write here and urge people
not to pirate this game. We need to encourage new developers as much
as we can. Now, I don't have a problem ripping off big corporations
(heck, they can afford it!), but these guys have already done a
fantastic job and deserve the money they receive from the sale of this
game.

I only hope it will keep them developing!

With LFS, I feel as though I may have had even a tiny bit of input. I know
the developers names, and my words have been read by them. With F12002 I
know the bunch of fatcats and underpaid and overworked programmers don't
give a ***about me.

I'll gladly give Scawen, Eric and Victor $1 each of my money...
And $15 to the store owners that I buy the game from.
And $6.85 to the salesperson that sells me the game.
And $10 to the people that distributed the game to the store.
And $1 to the people that printed out the CD's and boxes and such.
etc.. etc..

While we're at it, lets stop world hunger and all join hands to bring
peace and serentity to all people.  I see a day when we can all walk
hand in hand, through peaceful meadows, listening to the sweet, soulful
songs of birds.  Look over there, by that peaceful brook, it's a deer
and a fawn.  Oh, it just tugs at my heart.

If they sell it off their website, I'll buy it straight from them.

It's also now appeared on a magazine cover disk, so even more punters
will have seen it.

Pretty Sad Phoenix...

Do you even hear yourself?  "It's ok to steal"...  So long as it's from a
"Big Corp"???  OMFG..   No they can't afford people stealing their products
despite your warped logic.  Loser!

You complete knob.
Try saying the words aloud as you type them.  Maybe you'll hear how pathetic you sound.

It's OK to copy either (as long as you don't tell the owner).

I hope they do some kind of that.
I would even buy it from them if it was on cdr's.

Then it would cost them pretty little to manufacture the discs, and they
would earn a lot (but they probably will wear out a few cd-recorders :/

You're better off stealing the Mondeo, less chance of it breaking down when
you're escaping the Police ;)

Hopefully eh? I mentioned it to my mommy, and she said I have more snow to
shovel before she can give me enough money for my little gamey... :(

Frankly, only a tosser spends his money paying full price on the
latest albums and games. Myself, I have to study AND work for a
living, which doesn't give me an awful lot of cash at the end of the
day.

Think about it this way; the last album I bought was The Rising by
Bruce Springs***. It cost me 16.99 and there were only two songs on
it I liked. Had I downloaded those songs from the net it would only
have taken a few minutes of my time and cost me absolutely nothing.
Now, if enough people download his songs instead of buying his albums,
Bruce may have to go without the latest jet, but I'm willing to live
with that.

Do you consider it 'sad' to buy a concert ticket from a street seller
at the last minute, which costs you three times as much, even though
the band won't see half of that? Is it sad when

Also, do you consider it sad if I buy a game or an album second hand?
The original artist/developer doesn't see a penny of the profit may
when I buy it, but I'm still getting a copy of it. So what's the
difference between buying a game second hand, or copying it? None.
Nuff said!
