[citation][nom]amk-aka-Phantom[/nom]*Leech. And no, I don't see why people should "pay" for this crappy experience, no matter how much fun the game is. I checked: the game costs $70 in my area, while it costs $60 everywhere else. Why is that? Normally all the games are much cheaper here (got ME3 N7 Digital Deluxe Edition for $40 while it's $70 or so in US), and combined with all the issues, this is a no-deal for me. I will be sure to download the cracked version if it ever comes out, though, and see what's the hype about. And then if they drop the price to a decent point in my area and fix all the BS, I might even buy it.[/citation]
I don't know why it's so expensive in your area. Maybe you should ask the retailers. The company doesn't set retail price you know.
[citation][nom]dreadlokz[/nom]If you are a leech, go leech some torrent, don't say it here or ur just gonna get flamed by those who think that pay for a game is something that make you better then those who don't pay for games, music, tv shows, software, movies and prety much any media thats avaible... like me =) I'm not paying sh*t!! I already pay for my internet connection, if I wanna support some one, Im not paying for media, I'll pay for something real, like shows, t-shirts, books, or anything that I wanna keep or experience, not for something that I'll get for like a week or a day, or even two hours like movies, and then never watch, read or play it again! And for you newbies, there is a cracked version on torrent websites of Diablo III since day 2 =)[/citation]
Games aren't real? Are you kidding me? Your economic awareness is so distorted you think that just because you can download something, there's no price to it? Data floating in the air has no physical form, thus it's worthless?
Well I regret to inform you you're incorrect. All that data took the time and effort of the developers to program into the game. They deserve to get paid, and a portion of your purchase is going to go to them eating. Do you work for free? Do you get food and housing handed to you? Making this or any other game takes manpower, YOU need to pay for their manpower.
"But the game sux, there's problems" So what? Don't play it if you don't like it. Bugs and exploits do not entitle you to play the game for free.
"No, I just want the offline version, I'm cracking it for that." Good to hear, I agree with you. There's nothing wrong with mods and cracks. Buy the game, then play the cracked version. Simple solution. You're still playing the game, you still need to pay for the experience. Even if you don't like a few aspects, you still enjoy MOST of the game, don't you?
"Pirating something will show the publishers that we hate them and force them to change" Yeah, it isn't going to happen. Pirating will not remove the industry fatcats. It only justifies their existance. When media developers question why they need an industry with high paid lawyers, the industry points to piracy. They'll continue to pay the lawyers, the CEOs will still take the same cut. The profits you're taking by pirating are the profits that would have gone towards future development. You aren't taking the lawyers or the CEOs money, you're taking the blue collar programmers paychecks.
Developers have to make a living, just like you do. Mark me down all you want, I hope you're proud of yourselves for taking people's paychecks. The only ones you aren't hurting are CEOs and lawyers. You want to play a game, you should have to pay something for it. Good things in life aren't free. Feel free to respond with an explanation of why you feel entitled to the hard work of a lot of people just because a few bad decisions are being made.
