This is a good example on why some people pirate things like games/movies/tv shows/music. This also shows it isn't so Black and White like some people try to put it. Not all pirating is bad and is sometimes the only way to get something. Also to add pirating something is not a loss in sell since the person wasn't going to buy it anyway. But it can be a gain in sell since someone may like it so much they will buy it.Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number developer Jonatan Söderström, also known as "Cactus," has told Australian players they can go ahead and pirate the game if it doesn't get an official release in their country.
On Wednesday, it emerged that the Australian censor refused to classify the top-down shooter, based on what it deemed as scenes of strong violence, as well as what it determined as a rape scene.
Söderström made the comment in an email to an Australian fan who asked what's the best way to purchase the game if it doesn't get an official release in the country. The exchange was posted to Reddit and later confirmed as authentic by publisher Devolver Digital.
Game of Thrones is the most pirated show in the world and maybe the most pirated thing overall and even they have said pirating isn't bad because its free marketing/publicity.
So what is ur thoughs on this post and the overall topic.
Edit: On the other part of the topic "Australia's ban on games" they really do need to let up on it. They got a ESRB system like ours and don't even use it right. If the game has a M rating "adult" then stop censoring games or outright banning them.
