victimless crime? heh copying a game is the same as if you walked into my shop and stole the game.... i have seen several independant games shops close down over the last year or so because of ppl who seem to think that stealing games is a victimless crime... i have seen friends go bankrupt and struggle to support their famillies due to piracy....

a victimless crime? tell that to all the victims...

now i dont doubt that games are too expensive but thats not the retailers fault and as i have previously mentioned in this thread the publishers mark up the prices at their end - you would be suprised just how much we as a shop pay for games...

and i do apologise if i seem a bit worked up about this but its frankly cos i am, i think its disgusting that people decide they cant be bothered to pay for their games and steal them instead...
