I think you're only looking at this from one side, yours. Your not looking at it from the game and console makers point of view. It does not matter if pirates gave them away for free, the company lost money by the person giving away for free what would normally be paid for.

How would you like to work on a project for a few years in the hopes that your talent and hard work would be rewarded by people buying and enjoying your product only to find out that there is someone out there taking money out of your pocket and robbing you of what you deserve by giving away your stuff for free? You probably wouldn't enjoy that very much.

Not really. The PS2, for instance, never came officially to Brazil. The GC 'supposedly' was, like the Wii, but the prices are still high and games are quite rare. If they didn't even bother to release them here...serves 'em right, imo.
I just rememberd when I visited Microsoft's brazilian section about the 360. Assassin's Creed and Halo 3 are still listed as 'TBA'. |D

You can't speak that way until you step into his shoes.
And i guess you can look at it any way you like while finding a way to controverse as to why i am horribly wrong.
This is a hard task.

It's actually an easy task, he is stealing. Do you approve of pirating copies of games and using them with Dolphin?

Change your tone.

I never said those words and i don't recall him referencing anything with dolphin.

[Starscream]

You said I can't speak that way until I step into his shoes when I said he was stealing? What that means is that it is perfectly fine for him to obtain copies of games anyway he feels fit, according to you. So, the next time you join in on a conversation, you may want to stop hiding on the forum and pick your battles a little bit better.

Easy, dude, this ain't a battlefield. o_o'

Anyway, I don't obtain copies whenever I feel fit. I don't really like piracy, like you said, it's wrong on several levels. However, i just have no choice, I ain't gonna starve to keep giving huge companies every little penny I make. I do get original games actually, mainly when their price lowered or if it's a real classic game.
And yeah, I'm not referring exactly to dolphin, just to piracy in general. Any torrent site you go to has tons of games of any possible system, movies, softwares and such. If the option presents itself, I avoid pirating. But it's a different reality in other countries, you know. :\

Oh and...I'm not looking for a fight, just saying what I think. If you'd rather, I can drop it. o__o;

Sure reference with dolphin, find out that you sound like a complete moron; and finally own up to whats at hand.

No i don't agree with what he's doing, but at the same time i don't agree with your initial approach to his post.

Who do you think you are by the way? Thank the lucky stars you're born wherever it is you're born. But by your mannerisms and backsas, I'm guessing its Tinbantoo, ya twit.

It's fine, I'm just having a conversation just as you are.

What was happening that you were not aware of, feranya, is Diddy thinks he's a smart guy and he wanted to come in here and try to quote me and look cool, only it didn't work out the way he had it planned and he didn't like it much. So that was where that was at.

You shouldn't be worried about the opinion of the ill mannered. You should be worried about the possibility of your banning.

What is the matter with you? The guy says he pirates games and I was having a conversation about that not being a good idea. Then you come along and try to make it seem like what he was doing was somehow okay or that I do not understand his reasons. Now I have to be banned? What kind of a moron are you?

If you can't handle a grown-up conversation, it's best that you leave the room.

Um...you do know there's alot of people in here that pirate stuff. After all, being blunt, dolphin is an emulator. Pirates love emulators <.<

Anyway, if admitting that is a ban reason, then I'll shut up. :S
