Quote from: SuperFireKirby on February 10, 2014, 01:06:50 PMA witty one, aren't you? But seriously, saying someone shouldn't be able to watch a let's play because they can't afford a game is like saying someone shouldn't be able to watch a sporting event because they can't afford to join a club or league. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's not even something worth wasting the energy of having a stance on because it's so inconsequential, really.

"It's like saying someone shouldn't be able to watch a sporting event because they can't afford cable/internet/whatever."

~A better example of that kind of sports analogy.

Now look at how silly you sound.

It should be the LPers paying developers for using their work since they're the only ones making money off of it(along with video hosting sites). Yes, game developers deserve money for their work, but it should be from people like PewdiePie and the Gamegrumps, who are raking in the cash and not paying royalties for it.

Some people simply don't have the money to pay for useless shit like video games, so they watch LPers. Get your head out your ass and get over it.

Rude.

I was gonna say something, but I wanted to keep the post focused. My analogy was awful, yes, but I don't mind. At least I'm not cluttering my argument with ad hominem fallacies(SLOW!).

This is the primary reason why I will never monetize my LP channel nor any videos of my arrangements; simply on the grounds "I cannot take credit or profit for a product derived from another man's work."

But I buy secondhand games all the time so the developers aren't getting anything from that.

I seem to be missing a piece of my ear.

I'd say the best analogy would be:
"It's like saying someone shouldn't be able to watch a sporting event because they can't afford tickets to the game."
Reasons being: cable/internet/whatever is only the medium in which to view the event. The event itself is comparable to the video game that is being played.

Also, I'm not sure how I feel about LPs. I think, if the person is entertaining enough (hint hint), then they're fun to watch, or if you're not even going to buy the game (or can't afford it)... but usually, I don't bother with them (I've seen a few Game Grumps episodes, some of Maestro's, and one-or-so of Chuggaaconroy's, for example).

That's where the debate over whether used games should be unusable or not came from (and needless to say, people were not happy, as evidenced by the original backlash against the Xbox One).
And the moral of the story: Quit while you're a head.

While I don't oppose the buying of secondhand games entirely, I still think that the business practices of companies like Gamestop are evil.

He's just being a prick. You get used to it.

If it means anything, I thought it was funny.

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

Random people on eBay actually...Gamestop's stuff aren't even that cheap for secondhand games, but the seller would make more money selling it to me directly anyway (so we're all happy).

Did I ever say anything about lp's to you? No? Then shup. I'm just saying your failed attempt at being funny was bad.

Considering I was helping your argument a while ago, that's not a very good way to thank me.
