Piracy Doesn't Pay

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

hehehehe. Damn. That was almost scary, as my machine costs about $50 / month to leave on 24/7.

hahahhahahhaahhahahahahahahhhahahahahahaha

and its not like the computer was solely being used to download the game. with your silly logic, you may as well argue that he stupidly spent 5 dollars to read his email for 3 days.

So my friend tells me he just got finished downloading the F.E.A.R game, and that it took him 4 days to finish it. Funny thing is, electricity around here is something like 5c an hour to run a computer, so lets see, 5cent/hour x 96 is 48$, Best Buy had the game on sale for 40$ this week, what a fool.

hahahaha PWNED.

I've started to turn off my machine before going to bed.

Wow, 4 pages of replies and nobody noticed that error yet?

 

[Homerboy]

lets not forget to take into consideration he likely A) had a monitor on B) had a modem on C) possibly had a switch on D) had speakers on.... Man it all adds up. I figure with my 2 PCs running all-day every-day, I'm using about $9845094292.00 in power a month... yet those suckers at the power compnay only charge me like $150!!!! Stickin' it to the man!

It's all over the first page about the OP's faulty math. :roll:

Piracy, like most crimes, pays very well.

 

[BrokenVisage]

LOL @ the fact that mods didn't 'pull the plug' on this thread yet.

 

[speg]

Not to mention I'm sure he was using he computer for other tasks during those days, driving the cost of the game down even further.

looks like public education doesn't pay either

 

[digiram]

The OP has a point though. Programming is hard friggin work, and the developers deserve to reap the fruits of thier labor. Tell your buddy to buy the game, if he likes it. I buy all of my games, and I only get games that I will "ACTUALLY" play.

 

[oddyager]

Heh, 8 pages of replies for a silly math mistake. Wonder if the response would be the same had the OP not mentioned internet piracy, like if he were to proclaim he's 20 years old, makes $50K a year so he's naturally a millionaire!

Your retarted. Comes to 4.80 dollars.

calling someone else retarded when you don't know the difference between your and you're is quite retarded in itself.

edit: a bit too late. ah well. you're still a troll

 

[KillyKillall]

Seriously now..can we get a "Sux @ Teh M4th" title for this guy?

Also, when is this going to air on Geraldo or Donahue?

 

[StrangerGuy]

The Internet saves you money!

 

[NiKeFiDO]

uh ohes, OP needs to run far far away

 

[Damn Dirty Ape]

on a semi-tangent though, Walmart has it for 39.xx on an everyday price.

You want to discuss opportunity costs when they can't get straight math correct?

 

[Aquila76]

Wow, and I thought I was catching a crater full of sh!t for my cockup at work today!

I explained this post to my cat and she was all WTF?
