That's great that you bought the game. And no, it doesn't make you less of a person. People who steal are still people. They just are people that have made bad choices. But you could have done the same thing without stealing the game by playing the demo.

Hi

I dont stop by here very often, but i have read this one as it intrests me.

I am not ashamed to say, I downloaded the game. I download loads of games.... simply because:

I dont like demos, when you have a demo you dont often get to see the full features of a game you just get some time limited thing. I like playing a full game so i can get a real feel for the game then if i like it i go down to the shop and buy the full thing or i delete it off my system and dont speak of it again!

I am happy to say i did the above with space empires 4 and starfury, apart from i ordered Online instead of walking to the shop! if anyone is intrested i can show you a picture of my sheld I have hundreds of games!

and i dont agree that 1 downloaded game = 1 lost sale simply because downloading games makes me buy them! reviews are always usually one sided and i think the only true review is playing it yourself. I wouldnt buy a game without downloading it unless i knew it was good from it being a sequel or freinds.

also simply games are expensive and no one wants to buy something if they dont know they will like it! as i said i dont mind saying i download games, but i am happy to say i also buy them!

My 00.02. Personally, I rather buy something than steal it for free. This is something I say to my self, "If I can't buy it or afford it, then live with out it."(although that at times is hard ) I don't like downloading something for free(unless its legal then indulge ) because I would not like it if it was my product I was selling. Well I'm out of money right now so...BYE!

I played the demo for a long time before I bought the game.

But your not stealing the game Iansidious. you are downloading files. And if you run them you may or maynot be breaking a copyright law. There is a difference.

Downloading a game does not kill it.... It is a lie that is stated over and over and over.

Protential sale does not equal loss of sale.

1 download does not equal 1 loss of sale.

At you gotta stop listening to your music lobby Groups in the USA...
Might I mention again that www.baen.com is taking a different tack with the www.baen.com/library?

Play the Demos, as I do, and if you like them then buy them.
