i bought half life when it came out, sold it to a friend a week later, games without decent gameplay suck

 

[Looney]

Any game i enjoy i'll buy.. Diablo 2, BG 2, EQ, AO, DAoC, Black and White, Civilization 3. I do admit to downloading warez now and then, but if i really enjoy a game, i do buy them.

 

[dionx]

only pc game purchases are FF7 and resident evil 2.

last OS purchase was windows3.1 upgrade. the other OSes i got came with the computer or some other method.

as for software, i bought eurdora mail for the palm... since the palm m100 had no builtin mail program.

thats it for software purchases.

Where do you get the money to afford all those license? Some of those are rather pricey.

It's not like I walked out & bought them all at once, it's been spread out over quite a while.

Actually, I believe I may have mentioned this before, but we actually buy all software....indirectely. Think about the high prices that are charged, in part becuase of anticipation software piracy, etc. So whenever we interact with a government or private instituation that utilizes such high cost software (and raises prices on goods/services accordingly) we have in fact paid the manufacturer for software in the form of higher prices.

Now, if everyone were honest about it and actually bought software in stores, software would have the potential to be much cheaper than it is today. I believe the high price effect comes from the "anticipation" factor of piracy rather than piracy itself. If Windows came fully certified for 10 bucks a cd, IMO there would be little or no piracy.

I've even registered Winzip... I'm a goody two shoes, ain't I? I wonder at which point I'll have to upgrade the license on Winzip - it seems to work on every version so far, and I paid for it something like 3 years ago? Damn good value!

All games/apps/OS's I use are legit save for 2. And the two cost would cost ~1100 (combined). When I get a job (please god let me get a job) all my software will be legit.
