[QUOTE="crimsonedge11, post: 7159448, member: 411915"] I'm just gonna throw this out there, but someone gifted the new DOOM game to me on steam. I never downloaded it because it's over 60gbs. And they frequently release (monthly) 10GB+ updates they force you to install before you can play the game. Anyway, pirates put up a ripped copy of the game that's around 20GBs, where they cut the online stuff out of it. DOOM online is plagued with hackers anyway, and something I'd never have played. So even though I own an official copy of the game, I'd rather play the ripped 20GB copy that doesn't lock me out of playing it (I play this once or twice a month) to update content I'm never going to play (online). This is an example of a non-monetary reason why someone might pirate a game. I absolutely detest "forced updates" for games that aren't 100% online. I understand why this should be required for online games, but even for games that have online + offline, why couldn't they just lock you out of online until you update? I hate being locked into having to do this. This is why I'm not a huge fan of steam. And this is why I might consider pirating a game even if money isn't an issue. Big brother doesn't force me to update the pirated versions. What if there is a glitch/exploit I'm having fun doing in the current version, update rolls along, and I can't play it anymore without updating, and neither can I roll it back? [/QUOTE]

Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.
