Oh Goodness me no. No no no. No, that's always happened and always will, with any group of teenage guys and most groups of men of any age. I'm sure groups of women aren't much different either. This is in no way exclusive to gamers. That doesn't make it right.

I'm a bit conflicted about this to be honest. As much as I dislike this, it is inevitable, it certainly isn't just gamers and comic book readers.

Secondly, and more importantly, it's not so much the games that are the problem so much as the gamers. The comic book shop example given is an example. I bet the level of grief (and misguided White Knighting) that female gamers on CoD is horrific.

I still can't believe Bioware fucked up the Dragon Age name as bad as they did with DA2. Blame EA all you want, but they allowed this shit to happen.

Man, I didn't know we had senior citizens on this site. Cool!

That is ridiculous. That is like saying the people who have alcoholism and manage to quit drinking shouldn't try to encourage other alcoholics to quit drinking.

You're not surrendering moral high ground by admitting it, in fact I'm a lot more open to considering arguments from someone who is self aware enough to understand how reality and theoretical arguments differ.

There is only one other game that was before Wizardry that started this view perspective, but I forgot the name (Had a small blue castle with a light gray background, Apple ][)

Either way this is still a step in the right direction

However, is the IP address, by itself, enough to get a warrant to search the hard drives for physical proof of stealing? In my mind, yes. In others, no. It is the very core of the debate.

That's a deliberate obfuscation of the reality. An IP address can be identified by the ISP that issued it, while the local IP address can ascertain which computer / device on the network accessed it.

You're trying to introduce doubt in an attempt to let those infringing copyright off the hook.

How about people just buy the fucking game or pass on it, like the rest of us do.

I mean, EA just announced a real, brand new, graphically high-end, PC-exclusive RTS using Frostbite 2 less than a week ago.

People hated it.

Now they announce a Facebook-based free-to-play RTS.

People hate it.

I dont think that anyone is saying that what CD Projekt is doing is wrong, its simply stupid.

The funny thing is that every time I buy AMD/ATi I think this same thing. The funnier thing is that every time I buy nVidia I think the same thing, but about nVidia, instead. In the end I've realized that it isn't one that is necessarily better than the other, but rather specific cards which are just more stable and "better" than others.
