I think nowadays all you need for all your entertainment needs is a powerful PC. I bought my current PC for 2000€, including a 26'' full HD monitor, about two years ago. I had the best video card at that time an HD 4780 X2 2048 Mo. And to this day it still run the latest games flawlessly with AAA settings.

Assuming you are a proud pirate:

Fact 1: A PC can play 99% of video games ever made for consoles for free with emulators, and the emulators have far more gamers-friendly features than original consoles.

Fact 2: most of the best next-gen video games come out for PC (often enhanced) and you can play them for free.

Fact 3: A PC can play almost all arcade games for free with various emulators (from MAME to NullDC).

Fact 4: You get all your favorite movies for free.

Fact 5: You get all your favorite music for free.

So the question is: do you really need anything other than a good PC to get all the entertainment you need?

This is a terribly constructed thread concept.

It's less of a theory and more of a statement that a PC can run all forms of entertainment.
And what does stealing have to do with anything, with the exception of emulators.

You can get everything you mentioned legally.
You're nothing but a thief and, whether you know it or not, you used this as a platform to brag about how you're "baaad".
You should be ashamed.

it's like the people who complain that current videogames suck but won't bother buying the ones that are actually good; it just causes the current videogames to keep sucking because the ones that suck sell more. It's like you tell your girlfriend she sucks at sex but you never tell her when she is doing something right.

Do you know the MAME emulator? Do you most of its top-tier devs are actually working for software/game companies? That doesn't seem to stop them from working on that emulator. And if you were a bit in the "knowing" of the MAME world you would know that each new MAME build comes out with its full set of roms and that the devs are not totally strangers to that. I won't say anymore because I don't want to cause troubles to MAME devs.

Also to those calling me a thief, I am sure you don't get your naruto, bleach, one piece of whatever fix every week like most people do.

To me the thieves are the RIAA and MPAA and the likes of them, they don't give a flying fuck about artists they claim to protect, all they want to protect is their indecent profits.

If I want to give money to an artist I like then I make sure the money is going directly to the artist. But I won't give the slightest dollar to the fat ass industries anymore. I won't extend on how these industries have a very bad influence on creativity.

Yeah call me a thief if you want, that is your right, I am just a proud pirate.

Assuming I watched naruto and one piece even then I wouldnot like to beput in the same category as someone like you. i.e. in case you don't know those shows are available for free on tv plus as I said if I find something good I buy it without spending all my entertainment money on the computer but laos on media. plus most of the software I use is perfectly legal (and the one that is not will be at a later date I just have not bought the actual upgrades).

Do you know the MAME emulator? etc etc

No, i dont really care about emulators but as i understand what you said: mame developers work at mainstream software companies and relase illegal copies/parts of the software they helped develop on the net for everyone to download and that makes it okay right?... some logic.

"i am a proud thief" is enough really, you wont find a real argument now that you killed the "im poor" excuse  so stop trying.

drawing is a good time at any age.
Also there is something you should realize, alot of emulators aren't exact duplicates of the games they emulate, well they are, but the emulators themselves aren't coded well enough to handle the games. this is shown in n64 emulators for me, and ps1 emulators.  They display them fine, but there are graphic problems, there are corrupt roms, code problems etc. It's not a perfected thing yet.

Also, the less you buy games, the less companies make them, and the sooner the gaming industry goes belly up. THANK GOD piracy isn't popular, and that people buy the obligatory game/ gets them when the price is lowered.

And if the companies that make these games aren't getting enough money, they'll stop making games.

Is it any wonder why MvC 3 is coming out? why SFIV( and SSFIV ) came out? People can give all kinds of reasons, I think it's money.

not exactly. there is a lot of piracy here and in a lot of countries with loose copyright laws.

but the problem I'm saying is if more and more people realize piracy is relatively safe (in that if you have a semi decent virus protection and aren't a complete moron), then most industries will lose revenue. Music Industries getting it's shit handed to it by piracy, maybe gamings next?

must be so nice to live in functional countries and assume things like that, here in mexico people who pay for games like myself get the funny looks and "proud thiefs" are well pretty much everyone. Law makers cant even text and law enforcers can barely read so who cares?, consequence: games go for 70-90 bucks in official stores and companies (developers/distributors) dont give a fuck about the market so no warranties, no support, no regional servers, no translations, and official relase is for stuff like god of war, cod and fifa games, anything not casual you have to import.

And honestly games are least affected by piracy in the entertainment business, on movies and music its just ridiculous.

 Overall pirate entertainment is actually way easier to find than original, thats how fucked up piracy can get.

wheres that "u mad" picture when you need it.
