EPTAnd seriously, these guys would NOT have paid for the game even if the pirate link wasn't there. Hell, you can just download SC2 normally anyway and just do some tricks for campaign.

You pay for the multiplayer, if they wanna play campaign first to see how epic the game is, they can go right ahead. lol. Edit: Seems someone else pointed that out already. | ||

Well, a lot of people who actually bought the game probably used a torrent to download the client because the blizzard downloader is slow as balls. Actually, yeah. I did this for the beta client, so I could play single player games before I got a beta key. | ||

The Australian Dollar is almost identical to the US dollar (98.7) at the moment, but we still get overcharged for any games. SC2 is $100 in retail and so is every other PC game. In America, it's only $60 :\ | ||

If they let me demo the game first, like people here have suggested, then I might buy it. But I won't sink 50-60$ in a game that may or may not suck. The only reason I knew SCII would be awesome was the beta, which was free. Truthfully, the only games I ever liked enough after pirating to get were fallout 3 and supreme commander, and since my friends had the disks I just borrowed them. I really see no problem with people pirating SCII, seeing as there are probably emulated bnet2.0's out there, and if people want to have fun while sacrificing support, patches, and probably most if not all of multiplayer then Im not going to whine because I bought it and they didn't. Still, 16 petabytes is pretty awesome. :D | ||
