Re: Are 'warez' really theft?

Warez is theft plain and simple.

Its all fine to bleat on about how you cant afford to buy such and such a game and if it was worth the money you may buy it anyway. What about the developers? They spend several years, yes YEARS making this game entering millions of lines of code, creating thousands of textures, having the wisdom and the creativity to develop levels and then iron out bugs. Yet some people think it is their god given right to rip them off.
The general misconception is that developers make a lot of money. Plain and simple they would be comfortably off, not rich. Think about it, you buy a game for £40, how much do you think the developer gets?

Think carefully.......

Its actually about £6.00 Yes Six whole pounds sterling per £40 game.
The people that make the money is the retail shops and the publisher.
Now ask yourself again, if you sold something for as little as £6 would you be happy if people stole that from you because you were "rich"?
