Lets say those cars you're talking about cost a half a million each. You could put out demos of the car, do presentations on the car, show off the car, but no matter what, you can't really know if you are going to like the car before you buy it and actually USE it for a while.

So what if you copied the car and drove it for a while, and realized you liked it? THEN you'd probably drop a half a million on it. But what if you drop a half a million on it, and don't like it? Well tough shit, the demo (which was NOTHING like the car was actually oging to be) was out and oyu should know what you buy before you buy it.

My point is, piracy IS theft, yes, and I'm guilty of downloading games, but after I play the game for a while, if I LIKE it, I'll go buy it. Games should be like Minecraft. The demo is extremely representative of the real game, the real game is just... MORE. of everythign. I went and I bought Minecraft because that's a DAMN well made game, and its worth supporting the developers.

However, Call of Honor, Medal Duty was deleted after playing it for about an hour. It just wasn't for me, especially since I had the previous installment.

Also, whole nother argument, the punishment for piracy is shit. If you shoplift a game, you pay $60.00 for it, and then do some community service. Pirate the same game, and fuck you, you're off to jail.

Piracy is theft, but can be used to better a community, as long as the community is moral in of itself. Since most people will just pirate it and be like "LOLZ free gamez bitcheeez!", it needs to be illegal to help the owners from being taken advantage of. The owners , need to realize that games aren't worth so much damn money. Judges and the law system need to realize that piracy is THEFT, and should be treated as such, not as a free ticket for the owners of the music/game/movie to ride that persons wallet for the next 50 years.

There's errors on all parts, aint nothing we can do to stop it.

Yes I agree. If the world was perfect we'd have demos for everything so we'd know if they were worth buying. Sadly, it just doesn't work that way, and that's why we have reviewers out there, so we can get a taste of what it's like. I could personally tell you without playing CoD that it was going to be the same disaster as the previous titles - and I know that from the history of the franchise and the community it spawned.
