Um, piracy isn't theft, otherwise people caught pirating would be prosecuted for theft and not copyright infringement.

I think everyone knows this so please save this argument for elsewhere please.

[3chopl0x]

Thank you. I was waiting for someone to give me a reasoned response on the matter instead of a mere angry comment.

You came into this thread accusing us of being thieves and pirates and now you try and make us seem like the unreasonable people? Fucking underlings.

Careful a mod might make your into a junior, i've seen it happen servel times.

Everyone aside from Tomodachi, it seems.

Anyway...

Just fixed that up

Now you're going to become an underling, run for the hills.

[liezryou]

Noooooooooooooo i missed the free AC:R ( already had the other games ). FML.

[Derrick01]

My anger that I missed out on a chance to get ACR for free, a game I actually really want, is offset by the fact that it's not a Steam copy. That's the only thing keeping me calm right now.

Regardless I need to stop taking naps in the middle of the day. I always miss something good when I do.

[wilflare]

not the sweetest feeling waking up and seeing you missed the madness :D

but sweetness still happens :D
thanks Marsi for the copy of Fortix 2 :D:D

Lol, the junior arguement. Well played sir, it seems you have struck my weak spot for massive damage! (nice edit by the way)

You're reply was, and still is, one of hostility, wheras I hoped someone would refute my accusation with good reason, which evidently has happened. I agree this is not a case of piracy and/or theft.

I apologise if I have offended you in any way, not the intention at all, but surely you can see the reasoning / confusion behind it.

The line between this situation being theft / piracy and not is, in my opinion, very very fine and ultimately comes down to the fact that these were sanctioned keys for use by IGN to distribute as they saw fit. Had this happened on say, Amazon, where anyone was given access to games without paying via a glitch, then things would be different.

[MRORANGE]

I must be the only guy who WANTS BF3 on steam so he can buy it all full price, day one.

[Gez]

I noticed your account is older than 3chopl0x's, i guess that makes him the junior! lol

[liezryou]

I don't know what happened but all i have to say is that I WAS going to subscribe for 2 years to IGN Prime (80$ for mass free games? worth it). However, because there are so many spammers of free trials i literally did not get a single free game besides sanctum DLC, i have decided against it. What's the point of subscribing when free trials can steal the same limited games from right under your nose.

[Scythian]

Damn it, last time I go out on a Saturday. Seriously, something amazing happens and I casually decided to go shopping, fml.
;P

[PhoenixDawn]

Anyone need one of these "Heroes of Newerth Goblin Coin Redemption Code" things? I have no idea what it is even used for so I'll just give it away to whoever uses it firsts.

Heroes of Newerth Goblin Coin Redemption Code



Quote this message and reply if you use it so I can edit it out when its used up.

EDIT: IT'S NOW BEEN USED.

[Derrick01]

I don't know I guess it's because I hate Origin but I don't see the point anymore. Even if it gets put up on Steam it will most likely require Origin. I'm boycotting the game because of that and battlelog so putting it on Steam doesn't change much for me :(

[Fare Godmace]

Go out on a Saturday night for the first time in ages. Miss free BF3 and AC:R.



(Ignore the first part)

I can pay with Humble Bundle keys to whoever gives me an AC:R redeem code! Joking. Sort of. I'm desperate :(

I'll take some goblin coins...

Help! Just saw thread, what's going on with this free ACR? If someone have key, PM me! ;) Or just describe this promo.

[catabarez]

Finally got Impulse to work and am now downloading BF3 on Origin :)

[moojito]

Calm down people, both those games will be on a steam sale before you know it, and you can get busy not playing them knowing they're right there in your library where they belong.

Speaking of which, just got tropico 3! I intend to play it to completion the next time Scotland qualify for a major football tournament

Not Battlefield 3, which is why most people are disappointed at missing it.

No problem :) Hope you enjoy using them for whatever they're used for haha.

See I think this is where EA are missing out on a golden opportunity in that I'd probably pay *more* money to have a Steam version, within reason of course.

[nephilimdj]

Seems like I cant uninstall BF3 Russian edition now I own the International version (uses same folder), so got to "update" aka download full game for Int version.
Hope doesn't cause issues.

[wilflare]

i woke up at 2.48am.. when chesskid posted his madness..
fell asleep. the next time i woke was 5.30am
and everything was over XDDD

EDIT: good time to drop on Tropic now? it's like on sale so often. 75% or 80% incoming?

[jim-jam bongs]

There is already a retail version of BF3 with Origin cracked out on torrent sites, someone posted about it on Reddit the other day. Apparently the client does nothing but DRM and queue downloads, contrary to what EA have been saying about it, since with the Origin removed version you can apparently play on retail servers without any trouble.

Hearsay, not condoning the behaviour etc, but it would certainly suggest that the only thing standing between BF3 and Steam is politics.

[iNvid02]

nice catch, kinda jelly but i already have bf3 le and got the animus edition of acr ordered so no biggy

[Nymerio]

Wow, Sanctum is a lot better than I thought it is... I got that with some indie tower defense bundle and never got a round to playing it, but now I saw it as weekend deal and decided to give it a try. Really awesome, and quite a lot harder than I anticipated... I mean, some mistakes can easily cost you the round. I love that the rounds are quite long, the arc took me almost 1.5 hours to complete oO

That's good but there's still Battlelog to deal with and from what I understand that can't be cracked since it's the actual server browser. I don't want to run that garbage in my browser and install special EA plugins for it to work. Call me paranoid but EA is the last company on Earth I trust.

Ah yeah, that I can understand completely. As far as I'm concerned, I do all of my banking including managing my mortgage with a browser, I check my email, I buy things online, and so on, so that's the last place I would want a company like EA getting a foothold on my PC. Even putting aside the fact that I don't trust them as a company, I also don't trust them to not leave gaping security holes in the application on my PC which is most likely to lead to identity theft or financial ruin.

Turns out witchedwiz didn't use my HoN Goblin Coins code, so if anyone else wants it, let me know.

How can you not trust a company whose requisite software rifles through your tax return data?

People have already discussed that it scans ProgramData (which is an unusual place to store program executables themselves) presumably to look for games. It also doesn't read the files, if you look at what operations it's doing, just the filenames. It's also presumably a one-time scan to search for games to add to the client, like Steam does.

AC:R

all the bonuses we get if it stays. not to mention, it comes out in only 10 days, so let the countdown begin. i honestly didn't think it wasn't coming out to 2012, no one is talking about it at all on here, or anywhere really i've noticed, greatest month.

[Joe Molotov]

So...how about that Steam, eh?

What's that? Can we get it for free from IGN?

so Arkham City got delayed another week to the 22nd of November?

I need to find a magazine rack to flip over.

The PC version was pushed back a couple of weeks to the end of the month (US)/beginning of December (PAL Land).

Steam is a F2P MMO, but you have to purchase microtransactions in the in-game store with cash to level up your character.

That's a lot of presumptions. I'm certain that Origin has been tasked with discovering the location where I buried the bodies.

Check the Steam page for it. Dunno, some are saying Europe is still getting it on the 18th.

Guess that backlog of mine is finally gonna come in handy! now the only reason I'll want to play Skyrim and AC:R is because I have nothing else while waiting to play Batman

[Turfster]

I checked, that's why I said the 25th. Sadness.

Renegade Ops was worth the wait though. All was forgiven when that game's magic sunk in.
