Stop torrenting PC games

Started by Nate, June 15, 2013, 23:55

Nate

Please, for those of you who like PC gaming like it always used to be, stop torrenting PC games. It ruins the profit margins of companies, and while they are making a ton of money on console sales, they don't make nearly as much with PC and because of this alot of developers are simply skipping over PC because if it's not going to be profitable, why bother? These people spend years at a time putting these games together and you need to show support for a game that you enjoy playing by buying a legitimate copy.

Now, I myself will admit to downloading a game or two from torrents, but that's simply because I wasn't sure if I would like it, and didn't want to waste $60 if I ended up hating it. However, I would then uninstall the torrent and buy a real copy, which many people do not do.

Stop torrenting PC games, save PC gaming.

Nate, I feel your pain. That's why all games are first released for PS then for PC. Because you must buy it if you want to play it on PS. But when we talk about PC, you can easily download it. I know where is this going but none is gonna change it..

Hammy lol xD I being a 17 year old with no job (yet) I shall not stop pirating games, multiplayer is one of their biggest profits for most games and very few have cracked multiplayer. And with torrented games there comes many bugs, there's games that I can't get working cause of their bugs, my Gta IV has a completely different launcher to bypass the activation key :lol:

It doesn't matter how much people are online it's about how much fun you have.

That's for you, i almost paid $80 for CS pack which was $14 dollars.
There's no way to play CS GO without buy it at steam, thats why i decided to spend money on it, and i was lucky that day there was a promo because of Christmas :P

Ethan

stop torrenting games??? I have torrented 4 games, only one of which actually worked, so your argument , for me, is invalid, good sir

Dobby

Why would i want to torrent a game anyway? the way i look at it: Somebody has already brought it (before uploading it to a torrent site) companys make next to nothing from pre owned games, so  you're not really robbing any money :)

As Ethan said, its the same for me. ETS2, GTA SA, Mafia II are the only torrented games i own.
