My, aren't you the disgruntled little communist! I wasn't aware that it was only moral to price content based on what fraction of the game that content represents. How foolish of me.

Communist?

I mean, I was expecting an irrational flame or two, but this is just... wow. I have no idea how to address that. Couple that with...

It's a good thing I learned this from a self-admitted software pirate,

...bearing in mind that I'd made no such admission, and it becomes clear that there's no point to continuing this flame war.

For a change I'm not interested in getting into a flame fest but - someone may be a software pirate, Graeme. Someone might also have been a beta tester, which is _another_ way they could be playing the game without purchase.

And incidentally, someone might actually have friends who happen to own the game. I know it's a bold idea, but it might just be the case, yaknow? Of course, I would be very surprised if such were to be the case... aren't we all supposed to be hermits?

Most if not all licences I have read allow the transfer of the licence to another party, provided that the previous owner removes the game from said computer. So the friends way stands even to a literal reading of the licence (unless the Oblivion EULA explicitly states the contrary).

Now Vicious Love, you are supposed to call him a bourgeois. No, really. Trust me on that one.

Well, what on Earth would you call somebody who complains that a company is charging whatever price they want for a luxury good?

Remember people. It's always better to ignore your opponents actual arguments and nitpick on a single issue, so that you can pretend that you won. Of course you admitted that you didn't purchase the game, since you quite clearly stated that you wouldn't be supporting Bethesda with your money.
