Which Is Worse, Selling A Pirated Game Or Buying It? by LucemFerre: 1:04pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
Between downloading a pirated game for free, reproducing them, and selling them and buying the pirated games, which is worse? They're all bad we know, but let's do damage control 2 Likes 1 Share

U cant hold me accountable for downloading something that is free on the internet. Actually, i doubt uploading cracked copies of games is illegal overseas(at least in most countries). This is why 3rd party crackers like fitgirl and skidrow always include in their repacks to "support the Devs and buy it....if we like it". If uploading cracked copies online was illegal, EA and other companies would have sued the likes of skidrow & fitgirl and shut them down since. Nothing is worse than selling someone else's work for your own monetary gains. So therefore, selling pirated copies is definitely worse. This is why piracy is prevalent in Nigeria and other African countries because.... 1. Crappy internet won't allow people go get it for free online. 2. Nobody from Ubisoft will go as far as to sue a nobody in Africa for selling their games illegally. 1 Like |

Lana1: Buy it when I've finished it already, that doesn't make any sense? You and I know that ethically, cracking a game is wrong not to talk of allowing people download it for free. It is illegal in the US. Why EA hasn't sued them is unknown to me |

LucemFerre:I can think of two good reasons to buy a game after finishing it....to be able to play multiplayer or to unlock Steam/Origin achievements. People have their reasons for spending their money. Cracking games might be wrong but i dont see EA, Activision and the rest doing anything about it to get those cracked copies off the internet. They seem to be ok with it. I wouldn't say it's illegal. It's just a practice that is frowned up. Besides i dont think there's enough legal ground to sue anyone for cracking games. Look at it this way....if i buy a game, i can decide to do with it as i please. So if I decide to put it online for free to share with my friends, then it's no ones business. The real pirates are the ones who sell cracked copies |

Lana1: Its illegal, but what does american/eurpean/asian game developers going to do? If they wanted to start a war with piracy in africa im pretty sure they whould sue the pirated dvd seller, not a just a normal player |

Lana1: Eh... That makes sense. Maybe thats why debate of whether or not cracking is a crime has been going on. But, is it that gaming companies don't include clauses that prevent reproduction and redistribution in their EULA? How would the company let that kind of loop hole exist? That should put an end to every debate. Anyways, i do agree with you. Re-selling pirated gAmes is a very bad thing to do, in every way. |

Piracy is everywhere ...at the moment nothing can stop it . However it doesn't sound good when someone says it's due to the excessive charges of gaming companies. Dude these micro transactions are optional you might be at a disadvantage but c'mon man. And how will you cite cosmetic charges as an example c'mon my G . We all pirate things. But what is right is right and what's wrong is wrong and what's part of the game is part of the game . |

It IS illegal to distribute and produce cracked games Sites like fitgirl protect themselves through various security measures like vpn If they get caught it won't be funny Even for people downloading too It's because we're in Nigeria that there's is less risk of getting lawsuits Lana1: |
