The bottom line is that not paying for anything you play is a simple theft and there ain't enough gloss to make you look like a Robin Hood.

You think it makes a big hill of beans to firaxis when they get my money as long as they get my money? I will pay full price, when MP is released.

Spoiled yes, but also wary of my rights. If we don't do something while we can we'll get ****ed, just like with cell phones (round minutes up; ie: 1 minute and 1 second, you are charged for 2 minutes) and Windows (XP has call home feature, MS gets to violate privacy =( ... )

Besides, isn't there executive order or something signed that orders you to go out and do some serious shopping or the good ol' US economy is going to bust?

Here's a tip..buy the 4-month-old machines, and you'll save a lot of money...they'll all be obsolete eventually.

The bottom line is that piracy, like all forms of trademark theft and copyright violation, ends up hurting the consumers. Our prices get jacked up because spoiled brats who may not get everything they want in release would rather steal.
I hope such people end up
