  • I hate it because it goes both ways. IE the worse part is it more or less doesn’t give a way to get proof.

    IE the long and short of it is “we don’t have to go to court and spend the money to argue if we ran a fair election, because the law doesn’t require us to run a fair primary”.

    IE it’s not “we cheated but we’re allowed to cheat”, it’s “we’re allowed to cheat… so we don’t have to spend money proving that we didn’t”. Sadly that’s a key problem with the laws in general, or the party system in general.


  • Ethics is kind of a personal viewpoint, there’s no “agreed upon table of ethics”. So of course be aware you are just getting opinions here.

    Now my opinion, I do fall into the “if it’s worth the money pay for it”, if it’s not, don’t, and the Pirate now decide later is IMO a totally valid way to do that, and quite a few independent developers, etc… flat out encourage that method. Of course that doesn’t mean they all do. But to me my personal ethics say it’s more ethical… paying for a bad game, at the cost of not paying for a good game, is a travesty. My ethics say the best games should be the ones purchased… not the ones that had the best marketing and tricked the most people.
