whatever, im poor.

That doesn't justify your actions. I'm poor as shit, but that doesn't give me a right to take something I have no right to take.

im not trying to make a defense. i don't buy new games anyways and never have. stealing is just as bad as buying used. the creators get no profits off buying used.

This is a complete fallacy. Just because the creators don't get profits doesn't mean it makes it okay to pirate either. As much as most people probably hate Gamestop, there are still good people that work there (Mod_Man_Extreme for instance) and buying used games helps pay them.

You can pirate all you want, but, in these replies you're clearly trying to justify it when there is no valid justification.

Yes, you're scum of the earth, vlame. You might as well be clubbing baby seals while hoarding child porn.

Heh. I don't think Vlame is a terrible person or anything, I just don't like it when people try to convince themselves that their piracy is justified is all. I don't mean to seem hostile so sorry if I'm coming off that way Vlame.

ehh, 1 person buying games isn't going to make or break them. i play more retro stuff than anything. all of my hardware is used and so are my games. even if i did buy buy new games i would get them from amazon or ebay.

That's what all piraters say. It adds up, you know.

even if i did buy buy new games i would get them from amazon or ebay.

So? What difference does that make?

there was mention that buying used games pays a person's wage. it wouldn't if i bought online from small time sellers.

It makes money for the small time sellers, who are people too.

okay then, from those who supply me with retro games and the shit i do buy, i offer them my money when i do have it. its not like i don't own any games at all. i just can't afford to play every game i want.
