People would be lying, though. Like you. Like the dude who played pirated games, openly admitting it, and couldn't grasp the hypocrisy of the stance against pirated games and tried to defend it.

I completely get why you wouldn't want to be associated with piracy, but in playing the games you inextricably tied yourself because at the very least, you were enjoying those pirated games. It's hard to argue that you're not involved since you were reaping the benefits and chose the moral stance you did.

Yes, it flies in the face of what you say, but not what you did. When someone says something and does another, they're a hypocrite. At that point, falling back on how what you say is different no longer means much.

Is this explicit enough, because I thought it was clear before.

I'm legitimately offended here. Deeply even.

BDC's offended when he's called a racist. Doesn't mean that there's no grounds for calling him one, since he makes racist talk all the time.

Whenever possible I support the industry and call out how 'finicky' gamers can be (I'm sure it's easier to ignore, though).

Well, mostly because neither of those change the rest of the time. It's easy enough to make the claim that I'm not focusing on your good qualities, but if you're playing pirated games instead of paying for them and calling other people out on it isn't negated because you opt to go the high road when it's convenient.

I'd love for you to cite an occurrence that supports this shit.

The one we've been discussing? The one you don't dispute and are trying to now justify, again?

Education: Playing the games after the facts doesn't strengthen them.

It certainly gives you neither the moral high ground to talk nor any bearing to the idea that you're supporting the industry.

I suppose you can try and say me playing the games dissuades me from purchasing them, but reality rips that apart

mmmm...token argument.

Yeah right, bub. Pretty much guarantee somebody would've attempted another asinine counter-argument.

And you'd be wrong. Again.

I do not support piracy*.

Except when you do. While codemning others. I mean, it's okay when you're playing pirated games, because dammit, you're entitled.

This was fun. It was also fun watching a guy who calls people faggots for not liking the things he does try to zing me for "judging" people's hobbies.
