Mass Effect 2 Leaked On Torrent Sites

Im sure Bioware and Microsoft will do fine when this game is released.

I downloaded the PC version and I do intend to buy it for 360 on the 26th, I also dont see it as stealing at all. This is because it simply is not stealing.

People who call it stealing have an agenda plain and simple.

It doesnt matter though because its never going to be stoped, I will never change my mind about it either.

I will buy ME2 because it will make a great addition to my game collection not because I want to try it out. I dont "try" games out when they cost 70+$.

I am buying the CE version and yes i can wait. I believe the dev's deserve every penny i can give them for giving me this experience. This game deserves it.

And yes KMO you are stealing.

@kmo
I'm sure the law would beg to differ. It's stealing, plain and simple.


Yes, the government's agenda was to stop people from stealing.

Shrug Aslong as you buy it when it is released i cannot see what the chaos is. Take the soundtrack for example. I am a proud buyer of the Collectors edition which comes with the soundtrack, yet rather than alow people to download it early they only released a digital purchase version. So naturaly i borrowed it so i can listen to the music early while reading the Ascension noval. Same with games in most parts of the world. These so called 'World wide releases' are somewhat limited by the goverments who inforce ' Games are bad' rules that result in delays.

Short and sweet -
Nothing wrong with playing early aslong as you dont spoil it for anyone waiting and buy when a copy when it hits retail.

@primelink

No, he's not, go f**k yourself.
I torrent games all the time,
I have 125 games on steam
i have around 100 games on the 360,
have around 50 for the PS3,
30 or so on the wii
and countless others going back to the NES

I too, bought the collecters edition, but i'm torrenting this as i write this, because it's there, it's out, and i want to play.

It's not f**king stealing, if i steal something from you, you no longer have it, i have taken nothing from anybody.

Ride your high horse elsewhere.

@Dirigp
Yes, he is. But...
How can you torrent PS3 games. PS3 hasn't been cracked yet as far as I know

Who gives a f**k if it's stealing or not? Piracy is a crime. Murder isn't stealing either... it's still a crime.

The ones with the "agenda" are the ones saying it's not stealing to try to make it sound more acceptable.

People who steal, yes steal, games are the worst kind of criminals. You wouldn't steal anything like a car because that would involve putting your fat selves at risk. Instead you steal from developers who work hard to make a great game. You're not some criminal mastermind, you're just a greedy child who's too lazy and dumb to comprehend artistic integrity.

LOL at 'ThisGuy'

Not too stereotypical are we? When i started reading i thought i was at a cinema with that whole "You wouldnt steal a car advert" Also Fat - no, child - no, lazy - def no, dump? def not, artistic integrity - lots of as i am also a artist/Games designer.

People who resort to aggresive wording to make a point, inturn are a point to be made.

Preordered it and payed already but cant wait my box to come for 1 more week, downloadin it atm

@Matthew_O'Donnell

Your grammer is not helping your "I'm not lazy argument." What's your point exactly, anyway? Of course all gamers aren't fat and dumb and lazy. Just the ones that steal things illegally. You want to break away from stereotypes? Stop doing the things that create those stereotypes in the first place.

How is it stealing if you are already buying it. In the the law, you have a legal right to create and have a full backup of anything you legally own an original of. How is the developer losing money if you download it and still buy it. I am a firm believer that game companies should receive our support by buying the we games we like and want. But at the same time, I can't justify the loss of income by buying a crap game I can't return. So yeah, many of us are forced to download in order to ensure we are not recklessly buying something we expect to like, but turn out to be crap. I can 100% affirm that I have bought every game that I have downloaded and liked enough to keep playing. If I didn't like them, they got deleted, because who is going to play a game they don't like? It's like a trial before purchase as demo's often make crap games look better than they are and in several games in my experience, several demos that made brilliant games look crap. Half of the games that I have bought over the last several years, I never would have bought, had I not downloaded them. Whether it be from not having enough info, didn't look as good as they were or simply never heard of them until the torrent. Quite frankly, game companies have made more money off me because of torrents than they would of had I not had torrents as an option. If game companies gave me 24hrs to download and play a full game for free with no obligation to buy as an alternative to torrenting, then I'd gladly give up torrenting. But as it's currently my only means of ensuring smart safe game purchases, then I have no intention of stopping. I have downloaded ME2. And I do have the collectors edition on pre-order. And I have no intention of cancelling that order. So... Bioware is still getting their money from me... Which means the end result is the same... I get my game... They get their money... So... How is that stealing?

Who gives a crap. I want to know what "Forza 3 prank" got released my MS last year that bricked systems. Yeah okay sure. Get your facts straight. Pirate away, the devs still make money, and most buy. Jeez people, this is better than the wife's soap opera

I hope the guy named ThisGuy falls on his face today in.

If you're going to buy the game anyway then I couldn't give a crap if you play it first by stealing it, but how many people who steal games actually do that? The argument of "it doesn't matter if I steal it because other people will pay for it and the developers will still make money" is flawed and makes you a huge cockbite. There's nothing worse than a nobody who believes they have the right to have something for free just because they can.
