Title: Stop torrenting PC games
Post by: Nate on June 15, 2013, 23:55
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:

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

stop torrenting games??? I have torrented 4 games, only one of which actually worked, so your argument , for me, is invalid, good sir
Title: Re: Stop torrenting PC games
Post by: Dobby on June 16, 2013, 06:55
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.

Most game developers dosent deserve their pay. Learn to make the games work or atleast fix the bugs properly. *cough* Rockstar,  *cough*
I support SCS regularily though due to they are growing developer group that needs it. They have future, most lost it already.

Every game here in Macedonia is about 200 Denari, thats about 3.5 Euros. And yet, I still torrent them, why? Because it's much more easier then going to the city (because I live in village) to buy a game. And what if it doesn't work? For example the CD is screwed, here easily, just delete it if it doesn't work. Btw, atm on my computer I have games, GTA SA, LOL, ETS2, PES2013. All downloaded.

Call of Duty. It's the same re hash every year. They claim to care about online play, take a look at CoD 4. Full of hackers now. A new game gets released, the previous gets hackers/boosters. Which makes the old players move on to the new, which makes IW more money :( i gave up with them after MW3. 3Arc try to make a new different CoD, everyone hates them, IW makes the same one. Everyone loves them

I still play CoD 4, and hackers are not so common at all.
If you ask me, CoD died after MW2, with WaW being the last really good CoD.

I respect Nate, by no means am I trying to make a full of you here.


Creating this topic, what was the point of it? As stated before, not even the Government can stop the download of "Free Games"


You were just expressing your opinion but, look now, everyone has made a mockery out of your topic.


The reason people torrent games is simple : It's free, it's much easier then going to the store , My self torrent-ed games that aren't for sale here in the US 


why am I going to wait 1 week to get it from amazon, when in 2-3 hours I can be playing it. < Thats like the number 1 reason people  torrent, location/price

Thats why i have a PS3 and will get a PS4 when it gets released. :P
If a game is free to download, why spent money on it? I prefer to save money and buy games from developers that gives us what we want rather than giving money to some lazyass that doesnt fix the bugs of their games.

Just like EA: I bought Battlefield 3, just like Valve: i bought Left 4 dead 2 and Counter Strike Pack.

If I am to buy a game normally I will buy it from steam or I will buy it when it's dropped to about $40 or less since most games are about $80~$90 on release in Australia.
