Well I always test games before buying them. But perhaps I have tested it longer than would be proper.
Interesting choice of words. There is a playable demo for the game so testing it "proper" would go that route. Any "testing" of the full game would be considered longer than "proper". Just another flavor of the justification wars. "I only do it because xxxxxxx" and xxxxxxx is anything that anyone offers that sounds like half a good excuse so someone doesnt have to use the word theft.

Oh well, all we can do is continue to make sure that its not treated as "not a big deal" so that anyone feels they can outright say that they did it. Keep in mind that forums of the company selling the game, or any forum where the game is appreciated, is not a good place to bring up the subject.
