Ships Ahoy - Mafia II [Aug 24, 2010, 10:16 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Mafia II is now available in North America, announces 2K Games, saying the open-world crime sequel is due on August 26 in Australia and August 27 internationally. Word is: "This pistol-packed period piece transports players to Empire Bay, a fully realized and immersive urban cityscape set in America during the 1940s and 1950s. The action unfolds with white-knuckled car chases, explosive gunplay, compelling characters and an engaging narrative set against a backdrop of meticulously detailed period environments that showcase the difference a decade can make in the evolution of music, fashion, advertising and automobiles." Those interested in sampling the game should check out the recently released playable demo.
No, it isn't simply a "differing opinion," it's the "my moral code tells me it's ok to take what I want from people and that I should be able to give them the value I deem despite that not being how they're offering it."
I see. So I should buy all games at full price, regardless of how much I feel they are worth? If I buy a game during a Steam sale, is that morally unacceptable?
I guess I just find your position so silly because it revolves entirely around semantics. Let's look at the facts:
Consumer A pirates a game and then buys it new when it is available for $30.
Consumer B doesn't pirate a game and then buys it new when it is available for $30.
End result: Publisher and/or developer gets the same amount of money at the same time.
Your moral stance isn't based on the consequences of actions but merely the actions themselves. My moral stance is the complete opposite.
