I'm driving towards work with my eyes on the road and one hand on the steering wheel, with my other hand swatting at these pint sized devils. Now excuse me, I have to get my Raid and winter parka. One can certainly have sympathy for the man who steals bread because he is too poor to feed his family. But game pirates who cry poverty deserve no sympathy. Games are entertainment.
Entertainment is a luxury.
Those are the words of Chris Charla, who works for an independent video game developer called Digital Eclipse in California. And he couldn't be more right. I am tired of hearing people trying to justify game piracy or any kind of piracy for that matter, as some sort of heroic, Robin Hood-esque act. Many of these people would have you believe that pirating games is fine and even righteous. In this case your average middle or upper class kid, adolescent or adult.
