What part of it is a joke, exactly?

How about, the less your heath rating, the more likely you get a disease, and then it can spread via trade, military units, conquest, etc? And the more your heath rating, the less chance there is of the disease actually spreading to you. Earthquakes could be simulated by hidden tiles that...

One more comment to add- Look at what Linux accomplished, practically completely donation based, and it’s probably the 2ed most popular PCOS. They not only allow “piracy” as you call it, but tend to support it! If the companies dropped the...

Ok, stop RIGHT HERE. Are you trying to ignore that there are other, more influential, factors in low sales? K-Mart is having a bad time… it must be from people pirating Martha Stewart! Maybe it’s old-man syndrome, but I for one can say game quality (in the fields of game play and interface)...

The leader civics are easy to mod, I can make a small mod to change them for you if you want (I agree that some make little sense now).

I agree almost completely with DemonDeLuxe...

Illegal download of games, no matter what the pirate’s intent was (to test it or to only use the illegal game) is NOT theft, as to be theft you must physically and directly REMOVE the game from the company in order for it to be so. If I download the game of the internet illegally, this is...

It was a rant over people that are not even on this forum. Sorry for any misconnections as to who it was meant for, I didn’t even read any posts other then the first post before replying. :cool:

1. See TV example. 2. Things are much harder now. Once you have the game (and it's not as easy to get as it once was), getting it to run is very hard. 3. Silps of paper mean little in the real world. 4. Yes. Maybe = maybe so, possibly, I am not sure, etc. You are the one whom said: "LOL...

Unless that game is a sequel to an earlier one, that people downloaded, and liked, and planned on buying the sequel to. My example was also meant to if it was a small company, maybe it was their first game or something. But it is reason to buy the full game. When you take the TV, best...

1. I am not buying a car just because people say it is good. I want to see if it IS good. That is why TEST-DRIVES exist. If they didn't, I may have to steal one to see if it runs good, or drive someone else's. You can't expect me to blindly buy things. 2. Really, well lets see you get a...

I just may in the case they don’t have test-drives. Wow, that was totaly inacurate. You have no idea how hard it is now, do you? :rolleyes: Maybe.

People look at piracy too simplistically… ether because it makes them support the laws of their nation or because they themselves are incapable of it, but it’s not a simple matter. If someone downloads a pirated game, in a lot of people’s minds, the company just lost money...

I think I covered why I don’t play MMORPGs in the piracy topic, and I couldn’t find any privet servers (they tend to be crappie anyway). I voted #3 as I would play it if it was not for the fees…
