werenotfugazi Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) If, while looking for the bathroom, or something a week, or two before release, and you somehow found yourself looking at some store stock waiting to go out, and it was obvious that IV was there... Would you be willing to try to steal it? Edited April 3, 2008 by werenotfugazi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K^2 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Maybe, if I was sure I wouldn't be caught. But I would go back after release and buy a copy, subsequently destroying the stolen one. Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shootin_spree Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 nope. good question though. but since i have one pre-ordered i wouldnt see the point. waiting that one week, oh well. but if i didnt have it pre-ordered i would consider stealing it.

jonny_zoo Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Would I steal a copy of GTA IV brfore realese? Yes and no, yes because it would be an oppitunity to get the game early, no because I respect R* enough not to their steal their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnorg Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 So, you would risk [amount] years in prison for one games. And don't give that "d00d i n336dz dis lyk cr4ack i wud" bullsh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer is that I wouldn't steal from R* either. I want them to succeed, and I want them to know that I appreciate all their ball busting to bring us these f*cking kick-ass games!

You're right...not necessarily steal then, as "steal while leaving money" kind of thing. Good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doa kappatango Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 It's not a crime unless you get caught, so yes, I would. That is the single most stupid comment I have ever read on a forum..... So I go out out and murder someone - its not a crime until I get caught, right? Its a crime the minute you walk out of the store without paying............ The hypothetical morality question is a good one, in reality though, theft is a crime - only Scum Steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterYoca13 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) at first, yes. but after reading all these posts, i'd saaaaay....... yes. i do respect R* and all that, and i'd feel pain doing it, but i'd have to say, ultimately i would. but thats not the real choice. the real choice is to decide to play it. that, i'm not sure of. i think i'd then get that stolen copy, and sell it like crack on the streets for much more than the price tag. and even if i do play it, i'd unplug myself from the internet so MS doesn't find me. (stupid halo3 retards on xbox live before release) and about only scum stealing, i say thats what they would want you to say. the rich get all the power in this corrupt country (USA) and stealing is an robinhood-like act. EXAMPLE: i'd steal from a major gas station (depends on where you live) sure, but i'd NEVER steal from the family owned ghetto one across the street, who was there before them. the morals of a theif.

Elim Rawne Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Nope, I've waited what is it, a little under 3 years now? 7 days is nothing compared to that stretch of time, I could wait an extra 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddy Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 The question is rather that when you did steal the game, BECAUSE YOU ALL WOULD! Would you leak it onto the net? R* wouldnt be bothered about 1 person playing the game for a week early, no big deal to them is it? Selling it online however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELL NO! i guess i'm the type who likes to know more than the rest of the world and feels no urge to share my edge. plus it's despicable like those damn rick rolls! AAARRRGGHHHH! I'LL GET YOU RICK!
