I wouldn't waste my time downloading Battlefield. Only a select few FPSs are good, and Battlefield is most certainly NOT one of them.

It seems you didn't get the example.

Oh, I did get the example, it was just hard to decipher from your block of pure letters.

If you don't like it when you download it, just get rid of it. It's not like you didn't do other things while you were downloading; you wouldn't be wasting any time if you got rid of it.

And taking the developer's money? Please. Developers get like, 3% of their money anyway. The rest goes to their publisher and the middleman, both of whom are most of the time enormous companies who don't need anymore. So it gets blown out of proportion and people think we're committing murder or some shit for turning 3% to 0.

Laissez-faire capitalism, which I agree with, is about giving everyone fair competition - similar to communism in sound, but in reality much different. It involves the only economic law being that restricting predator corporations to create monopolies. Communism, on the other hand, involves spreading the money around equally, which completely destroys the essence of "competition".

Am I skeptical of big companies? Of course. That doesn't make me a communist, because, heh, if it did, everyone besides CEOs would be communist.

And I thought you hippies insisted on it being called socialism?

I remember you criticizing European competition laws, now you're defending competition laws? I don't want to call you something offending, but you're always insisting I'm an hippie, at least hippies aren't hypocrite.

Am I skeptical of you? Of course. That doesn't make me a communist/hippie, because, heh, if it did, everyone besides you would be a communist/hippie.

Your latter analogy was non-sensical and fallacious. It simply, isn't an insult.

And, I don't recall ever criticizing European competition laws. Ever. If I did, I sure would like a quote so I could either renounce myself or see your misinterpretation.

Demos are great from drawing you in, but I've played a lot of demos only to find out the game itself sucks.  I'd prefer to read the reviews on the gamer sites and then see.
