RE: Video game "experts" don't know what they are talking about
This is what I like about the steam review section, if there isn't a lot of reviews wait. If they are mixed or lower don't bother with the game. On a side note, download a cracked version or demo to check the game out first.
have you ever downloaded a cracked version of a game and the game was so good that you went and bought it anyway? That has happened to me on a number of occasions.
Ever time. A few examples would be the forest, dying light, age of emprise, divinity 2 and a number of others.
there was a friend of mine that was developing a "tip" app / website where pirates could anonymously donate to developers and musicians for music / games / etc that they downloaded via torrent and "feel bad" because it was a quality product and wanted to throw some money in the direction of the creator. It would be left entirely up to the user as to how much they wanted to pay.
I thought it was a brilliant idea and it sounded like something i would have used.
It never got off the ground though because of the legal ramifications. The lawyers said the company would likely get sued into oblivion for "encouraging theft" ... pity
I rate they make like a token which allows you to play any games as long as you have tokens available, similar to playing games in an arcade. This way you can try out games. I often buy a game and don't play it for very long and could save money on playing another game then.
