  • Oh interesting, I apologies. And I will change my opinion slightly, individuals do hold responsibility for their actions and they can make personal changes (wow I can’t believe I wasn’t saying that before). ALTHOUGH a persons views and personality are a result of there experiences. Highly alienated individuals who are bombarded with ads for junk food are more suceptibal to become addicted. So naturally that is why we see the US having higher levels of obesity. The government/rich people need to be blamed for this.





  • No it’s not. Evidently you have never had a popper addiction, I haven’t either but at least I’ve actually talked and listened to people to have. You can’t just decide to stop smoking or stop eating, it’s hard. If you could why would people willingly become overweight?

    What is ethical to one - isn’t for another. That’s why we have a legal system.

    So we should just accept the law as it is and assume the law is always right? Im here to debate ethics and question the law. Arent you here to do the same?

    Who will pay for game development and distribution?

    We have already stated that they can’t afford to by the game and therefore wont be buying the game no matter what. Regardless of weather they pirate the game or not no money is going to the game license owner.

    So to answer your question who will pay for development and distribution? Not this person.

    Two sentences.

    I stand corrected.

    Because you are taking what’s not yours

    But does the legal owner deserve to own it and profit off it? Again I ask you, do you understand the difference between what is ethical and what is legal.

    It’s a game.

    Piracy extends to all forms of media and software, not just games. I believe media is still incredibly important to a persons development. Media in all forms is a way to learn from other people and create a deeper understanding of how the world works. And taking that away from something because they don’t have the means to access it legally is not right. On top of this people deserve to have fun, and taking away peoples opportunity to have fun just because they don’t have the means to access it legally is also not right.
