I wonder when people will realize that the whole console war thing is bullshit. Or the "hardcore gamer" term. People who like games and play them are gamers. Adding "hardcore" to it just sounds pretentious.
Ah, I don't mind that. To me it is just recognizing a different degree of involvement. A casual gamer might not care too much about certain details where as someone who considers themselves as a hardcore gamer might.
I looked up the terms on Urbandictionary and this is probably my favorite definition:

"A casual gamer is someone who schedules the game around their life, while a hardcore gamer schedules their life around the game."

And also this:

"Obviousy, all gamers are bound by the desire to win at any given game, there would be no point to any game if that were not true, but the over-riding desire to connect with other individuals, be it close friends or distant aquaintances define the casual gamer. "

So by this definition, I'm a casual gamer. But by another definition I could be a hardcore gamer as well. Because I put great gameplay and story over everything else. But I don't identify as either because I just like games. I don't need a label, and I certainly don't need some neckbeard from Best Buy looking at me like an alien because I told him "I'm not a hardcore gamer, I just like games, and I don't care what the console is."

Wow Zed, what Gamestop are you going to where you get a whole 10$ for selling a game?


EHH, Ryuuka I don't really think I have a strong desire to win at any given game. I'm more of the person that wouldn't mind coming close to winning by using the most flamboyant means possible. I'll use a Pokemon game as an example, of course you could just face-roll with your starter or something. But I'd prefer to do something ridiculous and roll Monotype Bug team. Sure I'm going to have a much harder time, and lose a lot but hey.

"He is saying that if pirating were not possible not much change would be seen because some people just wouldn't buy the game console anyways."
False.

"He is assuming that if pirating were not possible, not much change would be seen because some people just wouldn't buy the game console anyways."
True.

You can look at the records of everything pirated. Every time pirating increases, the actual sales decrease. I said this already. Proving customers are going to something free for convenience.

Pirating increases in music. The sales dropped significantly. Pirating increases in manga. The sales dropped by half in the region that was pirating. Half. Say you have a job. Cut your paycheck in half. Like damn son.

Now it's gaming. With your thought of "Only I do it" or "I wouldn't buy it anyway" or "It's free why bother", are all ignorant thoughts that do harm to the people you should be grateful to.
When did I say any of those things? I said that in this topic, I may have to bring you the defintion of strawman argument and topic because you keep doing it, that the gaming industry would not lose money because from what has been said, it seems that they would not have bought it even it they couldn't pirate.

For you to say that it does harm them, you must assume that if they can't pirate they would have gone out and bought the 3ds/games.

So either way, assumptions are being made. Stop putting a negative affinity on the word assumption. But obviously you're going to ignore that you yourself are making assumptions and just tell me how I'm doing so.

Exactly.

Are you trying to insult Zed by saying he's poor because of the frugal choices he makes? Isn't that a bit rude and obnoxious?

I think any Gamestop employee that gave you that much for your game(s) would be fired immediately.

There is someone who has been pointed out as a hypocrite, Argon, after all though. . .
He is on the opposite side Pasuma said hypocrites are to be.

Do not become a perpetrator, a victim and most definitely a bystander.

No matter how little it is, pirating hurts the industry. Yes, even in this topic. You can't deny your ignominious actions, only use assumptions and other people as excuses. If you can afford a DS, you want to play DS games, then you are hurting the industry. If you want to be another generic poor kid, it's all your choice.

I would prefer it if so many people like this didn't rely on emulators to play a game. Like right now, this is a topic to rely on it. It's not even out and you're all refusing to consider purchasing a DS. Much too selfish.

I can only try to educate the ignorant.

What your doing is wrong? Yes.
What you're doing hurts the people you should be grateful for? Yes.
More pirating proves more sales? Yes.
Assumptions on your side have been stated more than any facts? Yes.
Can you think for others? No.
Should you try to? No.
Are they still trying to? Yes.

To harm the industry you must take money/sales from said industry. For you to say that pirating in this topic is hurting the industry, you are assuming that they are not buying the games/3ds because they can pirate.

You're just dodging his argument though.... He's not ASSUMING anyone in this topic isn't going to buy a 3DS. He's taking their word for their actions. That's the only evidence we have right now. That's all. You're the one assuming everyone here has the ability and desire to purchase a 3DS. No one's trying to connect this to the rest of the world. He is literally talking about the people in this topic. In. This. Topic.

When are you going to make me that Pokemon Rom tho'

Need to be called Pokemon Ebony Black Man, every character in the game needs to be black. Must have a Dark Gym Leader, and a Fighting Gym Leader. The only exception to the everyone being black rule, is the elite 4. The champion must be white because everyone knows, the white man is always in control. . .

Making a topic about that right now. . .

I'm not assuming pirating hurts industry. You admitted it, it's been proven. You want to think of everyone and assume they will never purchase a 3DS, even if pirating wasn't here. Which is not true, because they stated so.

Zed said. "If Jordans could be pirated, I'd get them." This implies if 3DS isn't pirated, he would get one.

Argon said. "Why pay for something when I can get it for free?" This implies the same thing.

Stating my statements not to be assumptions or accusations of others intentions, but a restating of theirs. Which is the opposite of yours.

@Fable= It's impossible for me to be wrong about this. This isn't an opinion. At the most it's an idea, that proves to harm industries with facts and records.

Your reading comprehension is dreadful if that's what you gathered up.


All this topic has turned into is people admitting what they do is wrong. They still do it, they have no reasons, only excuses and assumptions to continue doing selfish actions, even though it hurts the people and industry that keep it alive.
