Yeah, you did something wrong, read the board rules and buy the game.

What a strange reply from a member of a forum with a sticky devoted to CD2DVD conversions, guides to make your own NO-CD cracks, links to sites to obtain trainers and mini-images... and you tell me to buy the game. Thanks for the judgement without any consideration for my circumstances. If the game was actually out yet and I had the financial abundance beyond necessity (rent, other bills, groceries), I probably would buy it.
It's like you're with all of what I mentioned above, but against getting games by other means than physically going to a store... very strange.

No talking about Warez - do not ask where to download warez, console games or how to get them to work. Instant ban applicable.
So people can post guides for combining CDs into 1 DVD, but not get help from others who are more experienced in the process?

Do you know how many people come here with the same thoughts in mind that you have.....but to be honest, I do not understand it.
Read the board rules and understand them, then you should know, what this forum is all about. If you don't like the rules, then just leave, it is easy as that.

There is no need and no space for having arguments or a discussion.

Agreed.

This site doesnt help with warez versions of games.

More and More people who use warez will have ramifications, weirder and tougher protections and developers giving up their jobs.

Im sure you dont want to work for free do you? Nahh didnt think so.

The Eula states we are entitled to make one backup of our purchased games, that way we can protect our expensive purchases! We just choose to backup our CD games to DVD! Certainly saves on Discs used, space, and best of all the time it takes to install!

P.S: Thanks for a screenshot of the file listings! Even tho I dont have the game as yet, at least I do know when I purchase this game it will easily be able to convert it to a DVD! :P

Hagar, there are 2 PCs in this apartment and I didn't buy either one of them. Assumptions, assumptions...
Grumpy, sure, that's your little "mission statement" that makes it "seem" like everyone purchased a copy and simply wants to backup their games. I have several games that were bought that I also have backups on my PC. But, when I'm a bit limited on money and would like to see what a new game is like, only one option. My purchase of the game will not correct the fact that companies lose tens of billions of dollars a year from piracy. I wonder the % of people here who pretend to have legal copies of games just so they won't be called bastards by Hagar.
If this thread is going to result in some huge rant about legalities, morals, and flaming, then close it. I was only seeking advice.
Oh, and if this forum is about backing up legal copies, than why are there guides in the stickies for making your own cracks, no-cds, getting trainers, etc???
Whatever... I'm gone.
PS: Ohh, so it'll be easy for you to convert it to a DVD, but you won't tell me what I have to add or change, just because I admitedly have a warez copy. Heh, if I had of waited a week and choose to be more discreet about it being warez (editing the screenshot and such) there would be no warnings or flamings. Meh...

Since when was Trainers illegal?


Its a simple matter of you didnt read the rules and in you came, you were called out and you threw a fit.


Its always a laugh at these "excuses" people use to look and feel better about downloading games.

For Example

1. I dont have the money, neither does countless millions. Nothing new there, doesnt mean you steal things.

2. I wasnt going to buy it anyway, so im not hurting their economy... So what? What makes these peoples think they can do this? What makes them think they are the only one that thinks like this.. News Flash you and countless millions think like that, so whats not hurting their economy now huh? Oh wait thats right your above the 4.99 million or more people, your exempt you have the right.. pfff

3. This one is a classic, since some people are genuine about this one, the other 99% arent.. Its the good olde "I was trying it out first before buying it"... Sure you were, you tried it out for days, used a trainer no doubt, finished it, enjoyed it and then you went out and bought it, right? Pff yeah offcourse you did. NOT!

4. I hired the game, and made a backup, I paid money, so whats wrong with that? Errr you paid to have the right to play it within a time limit, you do NOT own the game, period.. You do NOT have the right to a backup.. Go and buy it cheapskate.

There is other classics. But those seem to be the latest main ones used.

I've bought Rebel Assault a couple of years ago. It was good (Star Wars Fan!). However, after 4 hours I've seen everything, game was done and 40 € were gone.
I've tested Baldur's Gate 2. Very very very long game! After a period of time, I've bought it, you know why? Cos over 300 hours of gameplay are it's money worth!
I've bought Black & White 1! Over 60 €! Game was okay, but very buggy. Peter M. promised many details, but delivered nearly half of them!

My next game will be Civilization 4, why? Addiciton! Civ is always about addication and endless sitting in front of your PC!

So your theory isn't the best one, sorry...
