I really hate it when thieves brag about their "trade".

I hear pirating is illegal.
i agree, but im one of the lucky ones that actually downloaded the game, and i'll say that IMO its not better then GT4 , but ... i can play it from my xbox HD and it didin't cost me a dime.
if in a week im still playing it , then i will buy him ,
and before you all start flaming me for piracy let me tell you that here in Portugal i can go to a blockbuster and rent pc games and PS2 games but noooooo xbox games, so i simple download then and if i like i buy then ( done it with Mortal Kombat, Matrix, and all the fifas plus PES4 ),
bur i've got to say that i owne more then 150 games and only 7 are originals ( just imagine the amount of money i saved from buiyng games that i'll only play about 10 minutes )
PIRACY IS ILLEGAL
and one more thing --- the average pay in Portugal for an office job is about 700? a month ( +/- 800 dolars ) , wish may seem bad but our cost of living is also very lower, but games ( and dvd's ) ate taxed in all europe by the same , so a guy i Spain ( for example ) makes like 2000 a month and buy's a xbox game for 60 , in Portugal a guy makes 700 and also buy's the same game for 60 , THAT ISN´T FAIR !!!!!!!!!!!
so FVCK the major disribuiters if i can download a game and try it i WILL

But that doesn't mean that i dont have them.
If you want to be a sucker and pay for a game that is a crap, fine, that's up to you , as for me i will always download them before i buy them. ( if i have the chance )
And i wasn't talking about me, thank god that i can afford to buy pretty much whatever i want , and dont BS me because the guy that actually «makes» the game is propably the last guy that cares.
MY windows is legal, so as my office 2003, my photoshop, 3d studio max, nero etc etc etc,
and like i said if the game is good i will buy it.
And i dont make copies to loan/sell , like i said if i dont play the game no more them minutes what harm can that do????
Oh, and i'm really sorry that i offended your somehow wonderful brain because the way that you wrote , it is obvious that you are a major programmer who is on the road to unemployment cause of the evil pirates taht download your crappy software instead of buying it.
Have i nice day
Ps- i said in my first post that i wasn´t writting to be flaming, actually only this saturday i went to a local open air market, and there in public daylight there were for sale all the majors titles / movies and people were in line for about 1 hour to get copies of course , and whem i talked to the guy that was in bussiness , he told me that it was a weak sales day, that guys that actually profit from other guys work should be in jail ( well we actually have a law about copywrite, but no one seems to care )
If because i simple try out a game before buying it ( if it is worth it ) that makes me evil so be it
FVCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think a warning would be more reasonable. He probably isn't aware any mention of piracy is such a big issue here - even if it's only for trial purposes.
