Hi, Thomas I really do agree with you on this. If I don't have the money to buy a game then I won't play it or buy it. But of course immature kids just try to download it for free and play it for free. Don't get on my case here because I know their are kids/teenagers on this list. People just try to do the easiest things which in this case is pirated games. I personally don't like the idea of this at all.
