Whilst I don't think he should be banned for the comment, you can't expect to get a good reaction from those who agree with piracy and celebrate it. I google searched 'Dark Shader' earlier today to see what people had done with it, and on the first page of results there were links to torrents for downloading it, so TGC itself is a victim of piracy. As soon as you make a game for money and it become mildly successful, it'll get pirated; when you're a small business, you're not getting the sort of money you should be getting. But if it were music or videos, then it's no better.

Because he can."
Yes and I can beat the crap out of an old lady, but it doesn't make it right.
Quote: "And also, I think a LOT of you use LimeWire. That is just as bad."
Make no assumptions; if you're downloading legal stuff on a torrent, then what's the problem? Torrenting is legal. Torrenting legal content is legal. Torrenting illegal content isn't. I don't use lime wire - I've used bit torrent to obtain things that required me to torrent (nothing illegal), though I have no use for it anymore. Nothing illegal. I buy my music, I watch TV on my television and I buy or rent my DVDs and I purchase my video games and my game creating/3d software is all legal, I've either had to pay for it, or use a free altnerative - I hate my main 3D modeller, but I live with it instead of pirating the app I want. Once I can spare the cash, I'll buy the app.
Though I do ask, what is so great about a piracy?
