Wala ka naman palang pakialam eh. Bakit ka sumasagot sa mga posts ko tungkol sa piracy eh hindi ka naman pala apektado? Pero salamat kasi kahit di mo nakuha ang mga punto ko, binasa mo pa rin.
Hindi ko naman sinabing hindi totoo. Ang sinasabi ko, di naman tatalab sa pirata ang pang-beauty pageant mong katwiran. Hindi realistic, tulad ng motherhood statement mo ngayon. Sa tingin mo ba may makukumbinsi kang pirata sa sinabi mong yan? Ay oo nga pala, wala kang pakialam.
Basta para sa iyo, wala nang pag-asa kasi lahat ng tao gusto libre. Put yourself in the shoes of those who are selling the games. Ang realistic na tao, naghahanap ng solusyon. Matagal na sanang nalugi ang publishers kung katulad mo silang mag-isip. Ay oo nga pala, wala ka kasing pakialam kaya walang kwenta sa iyo ang mga suggestions sa isang diskusyon.
Di ko maintindihan kung bakit hinukay mo pa ang mga posts ko sa ibang threads. Simula nung mag-post ako tungkol sa usaping piracy, ni minsan di ko sinabing malinis ako at hindi ako namimirata.
Yung mga suggestions o solutions na binanggit ko tungkol sa piracy, ginamit mo laban sa akin para sabihing nagmamalinis ako? Classic straw man. Ako na nga ang nagbibigay ng solusyon, ako pa ang hypocrite. Kunsabagay, di mo talaga maintindihan kung wala kang pakialam.
Bragging ba yung sinabi ko na makakabili ako ng 6 games worth 50 pesos, pero sa PSN hindi? Pinaghahambing ko ang mga deals sa iba't-ibang platforms at yun ang ipinakita kong halimbawa. Ang sinabi ko pa nga, give them an offer they can hardly refuse. Nasaan ang pagmamayabang sa paghahanap ng better deals?
Napasubo ka lang kasi di mo nahanap yung sinabi mong "halos libre na lang yan sa PSN tuwing Sale". Yun ang pagmamayabang na hangin ang kinalabasan.
Diskusyon ang ginagawa natin. Hindi kailangan ng kung anumang aksyon. Alam mo naman na nasa Internet forum tayo.
Ang punto ko, may kikitain pa rin ang publisher sa mga piratang di katulad mo. Ang rebuttal mo: i-suggest sa PSN support. Bakit mo ipapasa sa iba ang argumento ko para sa iyo? Wala ka nang maisip na counter argument?
Kunsabagay, ganun talaga kung wala kang pakialam. You'll find a convenient way out by diverting the topic.
Hindi self-righteousness ang pagbibigay ng solusyon. Bagkus, ito ay nakakapag-palago ng diskusyon. Malayo yata ang pagka-intindi mo ng self-righteous.
Ano ngayon kung namimirata ako? I welcome piracy. Katulad nga ng isa sa binanggit kong punto, nakakapag-patino ito ng isang industriya.
Kung ang kausap mo nga naman ay magdadala ng hasty generalizations, diversion at straw man arguments, mahirap talaga maging matino ang usapan.
Sa tingin ko, di mo naman talaga nagiba ang mga posisyon ko tungkol sa piracy. Basta't para sa iyo, wala kang pakialam.
Idaan mo na lang sa tawa, kasi yun ang pinakamalaki mong kontribusyon sa usapan.

Preach all you want, but piracy has existed since the ancient times, continues to exist and will exist in the future. Hanggang sa hindi mo matanggap ang realidad na iyan, di mo mahahanap ang solusyon.
If morality is what keeps you in the business, then by all means keep on dreaming.
Ito ang 18-year stock chart ng Sony. It once dominated the portable music market. Sony also holds the top 2 positions for the best-selling home game console of all time. The Playstation 2, released in 2000, sold more than 155 million units during its lifetime. The Playstation, released in 1994, sold 102 million units. Sony managed to achieve this, despite the fact that both consoles faced rampant game piracy.
The Playstation 3 only sold over 83 million units during its lifetime. It was only jailbroken towards the end of its life.

Meanwhile, this is Microsoft's 32-year stock chart. Araw-araw nilang pagkain ang Windows piracy. Xbox and Xbox 360 faced rampant game piracy as well. They dealt with it head on. Currently, they're not turning a profit on each Xbox One sold, but they're growing Xbox Live and Windows 10.

Ang punto ko: Piracy is here to stay. If you don't innovate and adapt, you will lose.
I never said it didn't exist though. I as a developer knows that there are no security features in the world that are 100% secure and hack/crack free. Even FBI servers can be hacked if you are that good and all have the resources and manpower to do it. Point is, piracy exist BUT securities will only get better as time goes by and there will be a time when it's too hard for crackers to bust in the securities of games and piracy will be next to impossible within the life cycle of the console. Hello, Sega Dreamcast, the security of this console is too good crackers only got into it lately lang. If Sony and Microsoft can adapt to this security.
You can't compare microsoft and sony as a corporation, they're too different. Sony is primarily a company that makes electronic devices, and playstation is just one part of it. And they have too many giant competitors like Samsung, LG, Sharp, Panasonic etc. while Microsoft is mainly a software company and it's only big competitor is Apple. Ofcourse their stocks remains stable. How many PCs are there in the world? Again, pirated copies of OSes are only rampant in countries where there are no laws protecting the rights of software devs or countries where there are existing laws BUT fails to fully implement it due to incompetence like the Philippines. Even if XBOX is shelved by Microsoft for some reason, the company will still thrive. Microsoft didn't do anything to adapt to piracy, it's the strict implementation of laws that keeps this company alive. Obviously di kasali Pinas. Walang kwenta ang gobyerno eh. The risk of getting caught is simply not there that's why piracy is so rampant here. Unless the government strictly implement a law protecting IP rights of software devs, piracy will exist here in PH.
