I'd say Core Lara was an atheist and movie/Legend Lara either that or possibly a buddhist :p.

but if you already are at the dealership,and you paid for the car, why wouldnt you just drive it home? and game has the files ready, they should give us the game and send the code individually. that is not piracy, or is it?

IMO that was pretty obvious always.

Still, there is a difference between someone who will just download the game from torrent and never pay for, it and someone who has already paid for it but get it sooner that he should. That's also pretty obvious imo. :)

It's not great, but it's not that far from what he's saying. He's trying to excuse theft by saying that he's paid for the product already.

I don't condemn piracy, after all, videogames are super expensive and if we were always paying for everything they want us to pay, we woulnd't have any money left... I mean, lots of people are going to play the game before us anyway, but still I don't think they're THat many downloading/playing it already. Let them play, who cares, it's no harm for us, we'll have a pretty little box and a great game soon anyway ;)

There's no direct harm to us, but it definitely harms the publishers and developers who made the game. If they don't make money off of the game, then they stop making the game, and where does that leave the rest of us?

Why D: ?

It just cut the very first part where she falls into the water and then probably cuts after she slips from Roths hands into the sea. Only so it acts as an introduction to why Lara is on an island.

But in his case it would be a victimless crime because he HAS paid for it. I get that it's legally wrong but I don't think it's morally wrong to download a game that you've preordered before release. The game having leaked at all certainly is wrong, though.

At least he has bought it not like the majority of pirates who, when they download things, never have any intention of giving a penny anyway. Yes, it's still wrong and illegal but in the grand scheme of things if you're gonna be pirated you'd rather it be by someone like him.

She could be a Christian and not be at the same time :p !

For example, in the case of Orthodox Christianity, which is the dominant religion in Greece, most Greeks will always say they're Christians if they are asked and wear crusifixes and all (just as jewelry and nothing more by the way :p ! ) but if you ask them they are propably NOT going to the church every Sunday, NOT praying and NOT doing the usual crap Christians are expected to do. We even have swear words which are "connected" with religion :vlol: !

So I just thought that she was a faux Christian all along :p !

Yeah, if you want to find an excuse, anything goes. Good luck with that principle :tmb:

He is still supporting the leakers by downloading the leak, so while square/cd haven't lost a sale, he's saying what the leakers did is okay.

Makes sense. It's not like they could use that last part where she already has the bow and the climbing axe at the very beginning of the game.
