Ugh. As soon as I say:

Could you please delete your copy of the pirated Doom III off your hard drive now? Thanks.


Begins to accuse me that I'm a pirate!

I respond with:

Quote:
Who says I pirated D3?!

If this happened to HL2 I would be pissed.

ANYONE should expect a massive loss like this.


He responds with....

Quote:
Wow, that SO just told me you downloaded it.
"Nah, I'm not pissed that D3 is being pirated, but I would be if HL 2 was." You probably aren't angry because you've got a nice copy of it nestled in your My Documents folder.
That, or you're bipartisan about what gets pirated, which is just as bad.


I respond with....

Quote:
Filthy accuser eh? EACH COMPANY THAT STARTS, HAS A FALL POINT!

With a game as big as Doom 3, ID SHOULD EXPECT THIS LARGE AMOUNT OF PIRATED COPIES!


He FINALLY ends it with....

Quote:
That still doesn't excuse the fact that you pretty much said that pirating D3 isn't really all that bad. You know they'll do the same thing with HL2 when it comes out. Of course, it doesn't matter to you unless it's your FAAAAAVORITE awaited game. Otherwise, PIRATE ON, LITTLE DUUUUDES!


So, who's right? Me or the accuser?

Eh, that thread is an interesting read because of all the lovely anger. I saw your posts and that guy's and while I don't know if you don't care if Doom 3 is pirated as long as Halflife 2 isn't I don't see how he came to the conclusion that you downloaded Doom 3. You are right that such high downloading should be expected though.

We all known Lunar is the pirate in this guild of course. wink I bet she downloaded Doom 3 ten times!

The accuser is half right and half wrong, as you are.

1. You're right. It's ONE PC company. The industry won't end.

2. He's right. You shouldn't go "I would be pissed if X game was pirated, but I'm not if this one is."

3. You're right, he shouldn't go and accuse you like that.

4. He's right, you shouldn't talk about how it is to be expected that a game will be pirated. Certain games are IMPOSSIBLE to pirate because of a complex CD-Key system (the Pay to Play games, for example, like EverQuest).

Overall, I don't think neither of you wins or loses. He should shut up about it-- but so should you. No offense intended, but you didn't really handle this with the best of your abilities.
