Correlation does not imply causation. All convicted murderers are human, therefor all humans are convicted murderers. It does not work like that.


Someone never had the intent to buy the game. Then pirated said game because they were bored.

Prove to me how that person hurt the industry.
The only difference is...that pirating does, in fact, cause dropped sales. It's not a correlation, which implies a tendency. It is, in fact, causation. The cause of pirating is that somebody does not want to pay the price for a product (IE a video game). The effect is that the industry is affected. That is the definition of causation: cause and effect.

You say someone never has the intent to buy a game. Did you know many people don't have the intent to buy a lot of the stuff they do? It's called impulse buying. People do it with games just like they do with candy bars, snuggies, and those products you see advertised at 2 in the morning. Pirating a game is the loss of a game that could have been sold, whether or not it was or was not impulsive.

What? You're comparing impulse buying of games to impulse buying of candy? In that case EVERYTHING can be bought on impulse, but lets be realistic. How many people go to the store and impulse buy a 3ds and a game? Not to mention you are assuming that eventually you will impulse buy games.

No one's try to justify anything. I'm not trying to be selfish. I haven't even given my opinion on the whole piracy thing. I just find it funny that you're being the ignorant right now.

Piracy hurts the industry. O-****ing-K. We get it. It does. You're saying it ALWAYS hurts the industry, and that's just flat out not true. Like. No. I think your ego is blocking your sight from seeing the truth. Smh.
How am I ignorant?

This is the conversation. You're too simple minded to realize anything said. I have to literally detail and explain every insignificant post so that you can even begin to process anything at all.

Fallen: Pirating hurts the industry.
You guys: Yes. But the people here don't.
Fallen: Yes they do, because they were former customers who are now going after a product that does not benefit the creators.
You guys: They wouldn't get the 3DS anyway.
Fallen: They said they would, and you can't think, talk, assume for them, nor should you try.
You guys: Stop straw manning me man. You're getting away from my valid point you can't disprove.
Fallen: Are you stupid? Do you need a picture?
You guys: Your ego is too much. Please stop. You can't see the truth you're ignorant, even though I can't prove that and you clearly know a lot more of this than us seeing as you have followed the sales records considering you're an actual paid customer instead of a selfish, poor, pathetic individual that needs everything free, but will bitch about the product, nonetheless.

Is that really how it went in your head? All I got was

Fallen: Look guys, here's the truth, and there's no way around this. Piracy always hurts everything and everyone. Everytime. Everyone would buy a 3DS always. All the time. You guys are ignorant because you don't agree with me. How dare you.

Us: But-

Fallen: No buts. Ignorance.

I said if they want to play 3DS games, they should get a 3DS. I never ever said they would. I said they implied they would, which they did. I'm only taking their words for granted.

My point exactly. He puts words into people's mouths, so I am obviously allowed to do the same.

He keeps saying that Nathan and I are somehow trying to justify piracy. There hasn't even been an implication of piracy ever being right, or piracy never being wrong. Ever. He's pulling stuff out of his ass as always~

I never said that either. Your misconceptions are your own downfall, Fable. You just proved you took something too personally.

Ok. I see that only fallacy arguments will work.


When I was a kid my parents would only buy games for me on my birthday or Christmas. My birthday is in November, so from January to October I had no new games. At the time, the gameboy advance was prominent and I had a ps2. I had a computer and found SNES emulator and SNES roms. So I had got the emulator and hundreds of roms. I was in grade six at the time. There were no gamestores around my area, I got no allowance, and was not allowed to go outside by myself except for going to school.

Are you trying to tell me that if I had never pirated those games that I would have gone out and bought those hundreds of games by myself? Or that I hurt the industry by doing pirating all those games? If so, how?

You're right, you never said it: you have, however, implied it, trying to connect our opinions to our "selfish(ness)."
Also, that little tidbit about trying to make ourselves feel better or something. Don't feel like going back through, BF3 k.
To be specific, you said" You're choosing to be ignorant just to be selfish," when in fact, I am fully aware that piracy is wrong. Smh.
