No need to get snappy Tye.

That's your own opinion.
And he has his own.

Yeah, and I respect other people's opinions, except when those opinions are downright wrong. Nothing good comes from piracy.

Ohohoho.
So this about opinions that are wrong?
You are sure one to talk. (un)

Don't you agree that stealing is wrong, too? I respect all opinions, unless of course they're ones that are virtually universally accepted as wrong, such as stealing, murder, rape, etc. Do you expect me to not have any problem at all with a murderer? Do you expect me to say "Oh, you kill people, but I can respect that!"?

It was, but Mino just has to turn everything into an argument.

Yeah, that's not really something you should use as a counter-point.

It's impossible to argue with just yourself. Someone else has to argue back.

The *censored.3.0* you comment was unneeded.

It was unneeded, and I apologize. Like I've said (and Mino refuses to believe), the stress from arguing gets the best of me sometimes.

You're comparing downright crimes, such as the taking of someone's life and the raping of somebody, and the shedding of innocent blood, to the downloading of a game that no one will care about in 5 years anyway, and that will be worth dirt then.

Mino doesn't turn anything into an argument, that is you and you alone.

It's you that swore at someone for piracy, it's you that reacted to Mino's opinions, it's ALWAYS you, yet you try to blame other people.

But this thread wouldn't have gone off topic if he wouldn't have started it in the first place. While it's true that I could've just ignored him, he could have just as easily not tried to cause trouble.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepmanyNintendo took in $2,400,000,000. That comes out to about a .004% loss, or four-thousandths of a percent. Ouch. I think Nintendo will keep loving you if you let this one slide without being a real ass about it.

Funny, you completely ignored the second part of that post. I said, it's not just Nintendo's profits that get hurt. The overall sales of the game also suffer. What could become a multimillion seller may not thanks to piracy. As I said before, New Super Mario Bros. Wii would have sold many more copies if it weren't for piracy. I know that Nintendo can still thrive with a little less profit, but that's not the key point. Also, piracy in some countries is so bad that they just completely stopped selling games there. For example, I think it was in Brazil, they don't even sell DS games anymore because so many people pirate games with an R4 instead of buying them. Piracy completely destroyed the video game market there.

I don't understand why you're trying to justify piracy. You wouldn't justify any other type of thievery, would you? Nothing good comes from piracy.

Hah, of course the sales are going to get hurt, that's just redundant to claim that both the profit and the sales will be hurt. But please, show me the proof that NSMBW's sales were greatly affected by piracy. You've made a completely meaningless statement by saying that it "would have sold many more copies if it weren't for piracy." What does "many" even mean? You make it seem like there's a whole cabal of evil Wii pirates out there conspiring to make Nintendo's sales look bad. I think you are vastly overstating the amount of piracy of Wii titles that is going on. Vastly.

And if you want to start talking about piracy in Latin America, first consider the fact that they likely do not have the wealth or the means to spend as much as you do on video games. So please reconsider, because it makes you look very preachy to bemoan the vileness of poor brown people.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii has been pirated 1,150,000 times as of December (and likely much more by now). That's 1,150,000 copies that could have potentially been sold.

And not everyone is poor in Latin America. >_> If you can't afford games, then you can't afford games. That doesn't justify thievery.

That's true, and that guy apparently paid 1.3 million for that. You also don't know that none of the downloaders actually bought the game.

Mmm, again, do you really want to go down the road of blaming poor people for their lot in life? What are you, a Republican? For someone who loves video games so much you certainly seem quite selfish with them. Why not embrace a more egalitarian view, or do you still hang on to the way video games were a status symbol, as when we were kids?

I don't really give a damn about any media piracy because the whole system is exploitative. Especially the music industry.

When did I say anything about murder?!

You can't change the whole world.
I know you would love to. I would. And so would everyone else.

I understand you have your opinion, and he has his own.
You can try to make the other person understand why you believe it's wrong.
But you can't just go and force you opinions on people. That's wrong.
There's a way of telling, and a way of forcing.

No need to come out of the blue and say "*censored.3.0* you".

No, this thread would still be on topic if he would've have interfered with it. None of the discussion about piracy or any of this would have even come up.

That list of pirated games that was posted a few pages ago was very funny. If you noticed, all but one of the games was a Nintendo game. Nintendo consoles have no security at all. They basically scream "pirate games pleeeeeeeease!"

You can pirate almost anything.
As well as hack any console.

But hacking is a discussion not allowed on these forums.
So let's be good little children. :veryhappy:

I think stealing may be wrong in most cases, but I don't deal with absolutes. I leave that to the ignorant ones, the types who have never morally grown up, or the types who cut off hands for stealing.

No sir, he just gave his opinion and he should be free to do so, on any thread.

It's you that caused the argument by reacting to his opinion.

Yeah, and that is just your opinion. It's your thoughts, and they don't have to matter if I or anyone else wants them to. Just watch, someone will post another wall explaining why you're wrong.

Okay everyone. Please stop arguing.

Or at least argue about Super Mario Galaxy.

Yes, the guy was fined. And even though that will make up for Nintendo's lost profit, it won't make up for the loss in sales. And, yes, maybe some people who downloaded it also bought they game, but the number of people who would have done that is most likely very, very low.

And I'm not blaming poor people. There was I time in my life where I couldn't afford video games, even though I loved them so much. But I didn't go and steal them, did I? No. I don't care how poor you are, stealing is wrong, no matter if it's digital or not. Besides, if someone is so poor that they can't afford video games, then they should probably be worried about more important things.
