		<description>Now what to say first ?? well here it goes&gt;&gt; 
&gt;first about piracy: in my case (i am in school) pirating games its very commun. Why ?? well because of the money!! if i could pay for the game and buy it i would, but money gets in the way every time 
&gt;second still about piracy: in my case (again) i dont have a fast connection and i&#039;m downloading games at about 130-max 200 kb/sec so its very boring to wait for the game to get downloaded and i would buy them but again the money problem
&gt;third about AC : well the ideea of the game was fantastic and the first time i heard of this game i was like WOOW!! but then again after its release i went to youtube and i have found out the entire story and gameplay and i was dissapointed :(and the thing with the quit system is shit . Overall in five days im getting a new pc that will run AC maxed and i will finnaly play itand take a final conclusion. Still first thing im going to do its having fun like building climbing and other shit like this and then the story...
&gt;fourth and this is about UBI: Ubisoft really does great games with great ideeas like the Prince of persia triology ( which i fully enjoyed and i still playing it because its very good!!) but in order to play the game you will need a NASA or a PENTAGON computer!! AND when i first heard of AC i knew that it would not be like 512 mb ram, a single core processor and a 64 or 128 video card!! HELL NO!!! and i still think and fear lol SP conviction is going to be something like 2Gb min ram , and 256 video min not to tell you of the processor !! but then again this could be just my imagination because my pc sux right now but in 5 days... :):D so yes UBI is exageraiting with the system requirements and it will always do. and i mean look at EA&gt;&gt; they are producing mediocre games but the system requirments  even a 2001-2002 computer could play FIFA 2008 an maybe 2009 sooo you all geting my point. 
 Well time to end it...</description>

		<description>Re:  Pirating 999 games because its trivially easy but never actually playing them.

In my experience of pirates this happens A LOT.  

This is evidence imho that one of the major motivating factors in games piracy is simple lazyness.  This also explains why lots of pirates actually pay for steam games.  Because steam is EVEN LAZIER than messing about with torrents (no bad downloads, no unraring, no cracking, very fast reliable download servers).  

In many cases I think pirates are just following the path of least resistance and the fact that it is free is just the icing on the cake.  

Why download free games that you don&#039;t even really want to play?  Presumably some kind of Pokemon effect is at work here.</description>

		<description>@cliffski - In my experience, people who have limited bandwidth don&#039;t pirate. But for most people in the US, Canada - and I believe especially Europe - who have broadband, there&#039;s no quota or limit, and so it&#039;s trivial to have torrent downloads running while you do other stuff. As far as I can tell, many pirates just download anything they might someday want to do something with. Worst case scenario, they&#039;re out a few cents on a blank disc or two.

This is one of the reasons that I&#039;m skeptical of any report that lists pirate downloads (where *are* they getting those figures, anyhow?) as being equivalent to lost sales. I&#039;d wager a significant proportion of those 700 thousand downloads never went on to install and play the game, much less decide for or against buying a copy.</description>

		<description>&quot;well yes…. or was the game so crap hundreds of thousands of people wasted their bandwidth on torrents out of boredom?&quot;

If you have high-speed broadband, downloading a torrent takes absolutely no effort - browse to a page on a torrent site, click on a link. I&#039;d be interested to know how many of those who download a game actually install it. I have a friend who&#039;s lived in the US for many years and had access to high-speed broadband for a long time. While moving from one city to another, him and his wife has left stuff at her parents, including a huge amount - hundreds upon hundreds - of burnt CDs. Not DVDs mind, CDs, containing poor quality VCDs of movies he had downloaded over the years. Few of which he&#039;d actually watched. She was trying to convince him just to dump them, but his reaction was &quot;Hmm, I might watch them _someday_&quot;. I think it&#039;s a hoarding/collecting instinct for many people more than anything else.  (This same guy spent a huge amount of money shipping his book collection.)
