You're basically getting a license to take part.
When you buy a game you don't actually buy the game, you buy the right to play that game. HOWEVER, as Blizzard basically said "If you do this, we ban you" and they agreed, Blizzard is fully within their right to ban them. This gets sticky when anybody doing so is accused of something like racism/sexism/etc. If you deal with the public you are allowed to refuse service to absolutely anybody for any or no reason. While employers often don't allow their employees to follow this up, it is nonetheless true. Any industry that caters to the general public has legal precedent to refuse service to anybody, for any or no reason. After all that’s usually why we pirate in the first place, a rubbish system.People in this thread have made the point that a place in the service industry (a hotel was used as an example near the start) cannot arbitrarily remove you from the premises. When there is a solution out there that is better than piracy, I’m all for it. Piracy has changed the world often for the better and I highly recommend a favourite book of mine The Pirates Dilemma which covers this subject in far more depth.
I’m not anti-pirate although I may sound it.

Will I patch my PS3 to play Gran Turismo 5? Of course I will, I did straight away even though GT5 sucked! Do I want to lose any of my online accounts to save a few pounds and spend hours illegally obtaining pirated software? The answer is no, my time and my avatar is worth more than that and most importantly I want to support the games industry, and so should you. This year has seen a huge clamp down by the powers that be, with the most extreme example when Blizzard banned over 5,000 Starcraft 2 players for cheating. Back in 2009 Valve even gave everyone a gift for not cheating, a free hat which I wore with pride, obviously the cheaters didn’t get anything. With more recent and a touch more serious tone Sony is attempting to sue the hackers who opened up the PS3 for all manor of piracy, which this year has been a constant battle by Sony releasing countless patches to stay one step ahead of the pirates. All those achievements, digital downloads and the ability to play with all your friends, gone in an instant! All to save a few pounds by pirating? It’s just no longer worth it. If you are caught using pirated games or even cheating, the risk is you lose your entire account, either a ban or complete account deletion.

And don’t even get me started on Steam sales, games for a few pounds, why even waste time torrenting and searching for key gens and nocd.exe’s? Steam have perfected the process so well, I would rather pay for a game on Steam than to get it for free not on Steam, that’s capitalism at its finest.Īnother reason for piracy decline and the eventual death of piracy is the big brother account integration of these services like Steam as well as Xbox Live and PlayStation network. I often buy gifts for relatives and friends, with a few clicks Christmas and birthdays are sorted without having to leave my seat, delivered direct to their email/Steam account. Steam offers one central ‘app’ for the gaming community, you know what your friends are buying, what and when they are playing, what they have played for precisely how long, what they have achieved and now even what they want to play if they had the money a.k.a Steam wishlist.

Leaving the house to purchase a physical disc, having an optical drive hooked up to your computer, getting the disk out of the box to install it, manually finding the latest patch…very 1990’s.

Retail purchasing on PC died along time ago for me, first the high street and then even online ordering became a chore. The question is why would piracy slow down as we all become more digitally download aware? If digital downloads are slowly taking more and more of the market especially on PC, why are people choosing to pay for digital downloads over torrenting them for free like they have been for the last near decade.
