I wouldn't. I love RE enough to wait and buy the game legally. I figure if the game is good enough to make me want it that badly then they deserve to be paid.

I like 2 have it all wen i buy a CD/Freedom of Information.

iTunes offers still expensive downloads for digital files that can only be downloaded once.
It's all very well people preaching "But i know i'm going to buy the full copy!1!" when they download something, but if they download and then it turns out they don't like it, the chances are they still won't buy it no matter what they tell people on the internet. That's the cold reality of the situation.

That's so far from the point it's not even funny. The fact is on the other hand, if they don't like it, they're not going to buy it, and the developer is out of pocket thanks to your piracy whereas they wouldn't be if you'd just gone out and bought it.
People will still download, say they're going to buy it, and then in a lot of cases they actually won't. Not to mention, people can "know" all they want about something but they can still be wrong, games, films, music etc can all still suck hard regardless of how hyped you might be.

Big Stu is correct. It's unfortunate but the truth of it is that people will always perform the piracy action no matter what they state. The hype they develop for a given product is not always enough to make them buy the product after they've actually tried it.
It's like when you have checked out a demo for something you were waiting for and it turns out you weren't satisfied at all. Would it mean that you would spend 50-60 $ buying the game anyway?
As for iTunes, that doesn't cut it out. You will still need 1000s of mp3s and in the long run it will be a lot of money. Thus people will not/never use it.Freedom of Information.

I don't know about you, but i'm speaking from experience. I've downloaded albums that i'd intended on buying, even by some of my favourite bands, and then i've been so disappointed that i've not picked it up. These are bands i've liked for years, bands i know on a personal level, and if i'm unlikely to take the plunge on something as cheap as a CD, it's more than likely i wouldn't shell out for a game i'd been disappointed with.Last edited by Stu; 11-01-2008, 06:49 AM.

Damn. When I saw the title, I thought it was news about a RE1.5 leak.
As for this whole RE5 piracy thing: buy the game if you're looking forward to it, it's as simple as that
If you choose to illegally download something, fine (or not), but don't try to justify it by saying you're broke, need the money for other/more important things, it's overpriced, you can't wait any longer, entertainment should be free (yes, I actually heard someone say that), etc.
You always have a choice, nobody forced you to take it up as a hobby.Last edited by abbatoo; 11-02-2008, 03:53 PM.
