OK, I haven't had a whinge for a while, so, it is time :lol:
Now...
I've been online having a look at other forums, where the forum admins have allowed the public display of CD keys and serials. I also just finished sending an email to THQ and UBISOFT informing them of this happening - and I hope all those guilty of it get slapped with massive fines.
For all you cheapskates who download games, then hunt for serial numbers like they are food, and you are hungry: Why the bloody hell do you think games are so darn expensive now days?
No, it's not because the developers and manufacturers are money hungry animals who froth at the mouth. It's because piracy has destroyed the industry enough to force developers into raising prices to cover costs for game production and future development.
I have worked my butt off to buy all sixty three games that I own. I have made sacrifices because I support the brilliant work that developers do and the effort they put into creating this fantastic level of interaction.
So don't whinge to your mates, trying to justify your actions because the prices are too high. It's your own fault - live with it.
Also, another good reason to purchase original games is because you are then legally allowed to use them online. Picture this : you get a Key-Gen for a game, jump online, and it works a treat for a while. Some other average joe buys a legit copy, which by coincidence has the same key. A confliction starts online. He has proof of purchase. You are in deep, deep poo. If you are a minor - you parents will be hit with the massive fine. If you are an adult - you better have some money saved up, or it's jail time!
So think twice before doing the wrong thing. People do get caught all the time, AND they cop the full force of their national law (which is quite generic for this sort of crime).
Later!
