I'm just tired of people who are all calling it shit, refuse to pay for it, but just HAVE to have it and play it RIGHT NOW. Like, obviously, they like it more then they're saying. I can see right through them :P
I'm not saying people have to like these games. I'm not even saying people secretly love these games. I'm sure they're just mildly okay...but they're obviously okay enough and fun enough to justify pirating them early no less, then they ought to be paying for the merchandise. If people really didn't want to play these games and thought they were complete trash, they wouldn't be salivating at the mouth for the .cia dump and needing both and right this second.
Pirating also doesn't get them what they want. They want to show game freak their dissatisfaction by not buying them, and thats good. That's what they need to do to get Game Freaks attention. But then turning around and pirating only tells people that the games are desirable as is. Game Freak isn't seeing all these let's plays and data dumps of pirated copies as "People would have paid for them if we made the games different". Oh no, they see "These games are so desirable people have to pirate them early. To protect our sales, we need to up our anti-piracy measures". They don't trust that thieves are going to pay for games in the future by some code of honour.
