CD Projekt Versus File-Sharers?

[Dec 14, 2011, 11:17 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

TorrentFreak reports that lawyers for CD Projekt are contacting individual file-sharers in Germany offering to settle accusations of pirating The Witcher 2 for €911.80 ($1,183.06). For corroboration, they point to this German page which does mention the game and that figure. Thanks Lance via Techdirt, where they note the danger such a "shakedown" can target innocent parties.

It's already been covered considerably since but I thought I'd contribute anyway. By admitting I had previously pirated games I wasn't trying to claim the "moral highground", rather I was expressing that I was very familiar with both sides of the argument. However, now I buy the games that I like and pass on those I deem to expensive or those that I object to. I do not feel entitled to pirate a game, play it and THEN decide whether I deem it worth the money. Do I miss out on some great games? Yes, but that's life.

I regret that I felt entitled to play games that I refused to pay for. I was young and had no money or source of income, though I don't use that to excuse my actions. I am very critical of those that pirate and do so from a position knowing what it is like to pirate games and knowing how I feel as a paying customer. My Steam account is worth over $4500 and I am happy that I support the games I love.

Thanks for taking the time to read.
