5 Reasons It's Still Not Cool to Admit You're a Gamer

Except that's not true. Keep it up, though. It's always amusing equating playing games with supporting pirates. Me never supporting a pirate or downloading a game torrent ever should have a direct bearing on this sort of thing but you (and everybody else who made that foolish argument) would rather shoot in the dark and hope you hit something.

I often wonder what ridiculous line of thought you guys would use if I never said I played my bro's games. Probably something along the lines of, "You do you and we'll do our thing." But the way things turned out was much more telling.

Do reply.

No, playing pirated games with an anti-piracy argument being hypocritical. No wonder you claim my argument is false. You had to lie and alter my argument to get there.

Probably nothing, because you wouldn't be a massive hypocrite. Funny how that works, despite your conspiracy theories. All it takes to not be called a hypocrite is to not act hypocritically. For example, not enjoying pirated games while decrying the practice.

Education: Playing the games after the facts doesn't strengthen them. Playing the games doesn't support piracy. I've given no money to shillers* and downloaded no games*. Period. What do you think is motivating anti-piracy gestures? I'm seriously asking.

I suppose you can try and say me playing the games dissuades me from purchasing them, but reality rips that apart - I purchased two games recently, both were already around beforehand as a pirated copy (my XBL buds might recognize them).

I do not support piracy*.

Yeah right, bub. Pretty much guarantee somebody would've attempted another asinine counter-argument. If I was new around here I may have believed you but fortunately I have this place well scouted.

Seriously it's clockwork.
