Hi,
Ok, I have a confession to make. When Doom 1 was first released I
had a pirated
Copy of it......
Oh did I forget to mention it takes A SHIT load longer time for new
games to
reach our fair shores????
I payed $80.00 for a legit copy the VERY DAY that Doom was released
over here!
Does that make me a bad person because I used to play a PIRATED copy of
this
FUCKING BRILLIANT game!?!?! I had completed the shareware vers. many
times over
Comments? Opinions???
I don't think pirating is a good thing, but I can't believe that there
is ANY u(oooppssss) user out there who has *NEVER* pirated a program in
their
lives!!!
If someone out there can say (quote) "I have never pirated any software
in my
life of using computers" I would think he/she/it would be flamed for
being the
biggest bullshitter this side of the English parliament :)
Frankly, until CD-Rom's are more widely used, pirating will exist. I
have
read a lot of the comments posted here regarding pirating of Doom 2. I
don't
have a copy -- I wouldn't mind one, but I digress.... -- I will have
a copy
come October (not 10th more like 28th :( )
If someone offered me a pirate copy of Doom 2 to play in the meantime,
chances
are I would play it until a legit copy becomes available.....
Anyway I know everyone has an opinion about this. It seems to me the
people who
are doing the complaining are just pissed off that *THEY* don't have
a copy...
*SIGH* If we have degraded ourselves to this over a computer game,
imagine
what it'll be like when QUAKE comes out!!!!!!!
There's my 2c worth (in Australian funds, in US funds it's about
.,029836c :) )
Please send all flames to fucken.stupid.flame.thingys
Ciao until Doom 2 is released, and we can talk about this like *REAL*
people......
P.S. Apologies to any people I have offended through the use of
my bad language - it was used to express a point!
