  • You're right about the credit card issue. I'd never pirate any game or film. 

  • I used to pirate when I was a kid, I couldn't afford any games, so I just pirated them. As soon as I started earning money, I bought what I desired.

  • You can get a footlong, a medium drink and a refill for £5 where i live ;)

  • 15th of December was my birthday. yay me. just sayin.

  • A guild with all white people! I just pictured a lot of neo nazis with headsets playing wow hahahaha!

  • on the basis of TB saying if a guild wants nothing but white people they should be allowed...im sort of ok with this, why? Do i necessarily want to be with a group of white supremacists? no...let them have a corner, ill know what corner to avoid. Do i want them to be spread out shouting their hate elsewhere? No, i have a distaste for that crap, letting them have a small corner to themselves where its contained isnt a bad idea.

  • I download stuff via torrent. If its a game i like I buy it, if not i delete it and never give it another thought. Not always demos are available and usually very restricted and never gives a complete impression of the game. I dont wanna spend 40£ on a crap game I'm never gonna play and support the devs so they can make more crap games. Good games i gladly spend money on and give the devs all the support I can.

  • @Havocdk exactly. well put man, i wish more people could see that this method of doing things is actually GOOD for the gaming market.. well more importantly, i wish more people had that mindset lol. there will always be kids out there that pirate just to pirate things

    it forces out bad development and bad business models, as opposed to the nazi-model trend of commercial bombardment. thus leaving PLENTY of open space for more deserving, artistic development; big or small

  • @Havocdk Reviews exist for a reason, bro.

  • @Niemtol2

    I kno, most reviews are useless for me though, because reviewers are mainly subjective. The other way lets me make my own full impression of the game and I can decide for myself if it is something I want. I gotta say that I have based some of my purchases om WTF's from TB and mainly its been a good thing. I dont mind paying a few bucks for an indie game that i ultimately dont like, but the big devs like EA can release some very shitty games and expect you to pay up to 60£ for them.

  • Lol "Voltaire" quote.

    Mostly corrupted.

  • Yay i kill TB with a tank :D

  • I would pay 30 dollars for the humble indie bundle but I haven't got the means D:

    And I would never pirate anything ever. (I think it's scummy (but that is my opinion of course) )

  • Spielst du nicht mehr WOW? :(

  • I pirate video games. I don't own a credit card so I have no means of buying games from steam except when i give someone the money to buy it for me, which I do quite often. I don't really pirate new games or multiplayer ones, just old singleplayer games I have no means of buying. I don't think it's hurting anyone.

  • The art at the end of the video is amazing, who made it ?

  • 13:35 - In my country, all credit card transactions attempted from a non-domestic IP address, are blocked, by law. This means I can not buy anything online when I am travelling. This means I will sometimes pirate stuff. Problem is, many games are so incredibly bad that being forced to pay for them is a worse rip-off than my pirating. And if you are trying to rip me off, I will become hostile to you.

    It's as if the Greeks wanted to charge the Trojans for the wood they spent building the horse.

  • @facepalmization If you feel that you are getting ripped off by buying a game, then do you relly need to play it? the whole morale of TBs speech is that there's a diffrence in what you need and what you really need.

  • @Zethuriel - No, if I have been ripped off, then I will of course not play it, that particular point is a given and very very far besides the point.

    The issue is that there is no way for me to get my money back and have the ripoff undone. I have NO moral qualms about "stealing" from an industry that have literally stolen thousands from me in past years. Steal from me, I steal from you. It really is that simple.

    What other business could charge extra for non-delivery?

  • Lesson of the day: Never ever preorder an MMO. You'll get overcharged for the exact same product. With SW it actually boils down to people paying Bioware extra money for absolutely nothing whatsoever. This can NOT be legal...

  • TB... if you are a good player at a class you can be essential to your team in a "pub match". The best killer of the Heavy+Medic combo is the spah!(spy) and the best killer of the spy is the pyro or, often times, the scout and the best guy to take out the scout is the heavy or pyro but usually it's up to the sentry gun so it all works entwined. No One class is the best because there's always suppose to be another class to destroy it.

  • TB, don't wanna sound creepy or nothin, but I am sitting here scratching my nipples in anticipation for Santa Baby. Now that I have finally said something slightly humiliating on the internet I can go watch the rest of the mailboxes. Have fun! :D

  • The only f2p gamers that should be shunned in tf2 are those who beg for items on trade servers... they spam the damn chat box so much...

  • TB, you completely miss the point with your South Park ethic.

    Yes, they have the right to exclude certain players. AND it is elitist and stupid. Just like a guild has the right to allow only white people in. AND doing so would be racist and stupid. Just because someone is -allowed- to do something doesn't mean everyone else isn't allowed to call them what they are for doing it.

  • a job is a private business on private property - alas they have the right to discriminate as well. only government - which is public- shouldnt be allowed to discriminate.

  • hello

  • Nononono... You got it all wrong. about the tf2 part. Im against the f2p because most of them are useless at the game. And all classes are easy to play. But very hard to master.

  • I've decided not to buy Starcraft 2 even though I'm a big Starcraft 1 fan. Even though I know it is great I'm not going to fork over the money to buy it. I don't really like the direction Blizzard has become as a company. So even though I won't buy it I won't pirate it either.

    I have not once even played SC2.

  • @sir1junior i have grown up on sc1 and i recently got sc 2 it is a good sequel the campian isn't a long or as multi-racial but the multiplayer gives you a lot of fun and in 2012 when the expansion comes out you can probably get a package. Also there is a free version that only allows Terran in the multiplayer and a few campain missions and it is FREE

    (don't flame me for spelling i don't care)

  • @bazk190

    ikr, i hate people who complain about spelling, its the internet, no one cares!

  • Baha... He said smeg...

  • "Do they really need these games" Does anyone ever really need a game? It's not like food >.>

  • if i don't bye the game they don't get any money ... if i download it they don't get any money... deference?

  • @Allan0112 They difference is that they worked on the game and sunk countless hours into making it something they can sell to the public. If you download it you take their work without respecting them u spit in the face of all their effort and refuse to accept the fact that the time and effort that went into making the game marketable was a complete waste of time because they did not earn your money or respect.

  • @TheSkeely0 Well respect is important. But i do not think games are made 4 respect you make games to erm money... I see you point, however i do not fell it is based in reason/logic, I personally need real numbers and facts to support my beliefs. And i believe the more ppl who plays a game the better a game is doing and the bigger the community and the brand is gonna get. As fare as i know a game has never been "priatede" out of the marked... (I apologize fore the bad spelling)

  • Its ok TB, half the footlongs at Subway cost more than $5 here too.

  • I already purchased 3 humble bundles. Now I'm going to go pirate them just to piss you people off :P

  • you didn't join a squad the entire game? *le sigh* damn newb.

  • you say that you are cynical but your not..... your just truthful and reasonable

  • @daminecraftguy

    Cynicism is realism and being reasonable. Optimism is the only way you can be let down, because you have high hopes. Thats why I am cynical by default, and I'm always pleasantly surprised. I'm actually even happier now to :)

  • here to chat, not play

  • I AM GOING TO PAY FOR STARCRAFT 2... but im not paying for other games that arent allways that good but i buy them if i find them epic. aka i want the pearson rewarded for it. also League of legends is doing good because they dont force you to pay for it but you can! wich is great

  • Is it me or is the Onlive gaming advert getting piss annoying

  • @icarrumber12 Yeah I know... but what is cloud gaming?

  • Thank you TB, for making people understand the early access system, its effective and more efficient than the other MMO launches, which usually are fuckups.

  • I love playing games, but I can't afford most of them. Example, Skyrim. Amazing game, truly a brilliant piece of e-art. But it costs more than my monthly food supplies. So I downloaded it for free, played it, enjoyed it, and recommended it to every gamer I know. I will buy it, at least to support Bethesda, but only when its price goes down. Btw, nice spawn on a chopper there :)

  • @Zzzdrsss It's good you recommended it to friends and that you are planning to buy the game but that's not exactly the order you should follow.

    If demo, reviews, gameplays and other materials make you sure you want to have this game, you wait till price goes down and buy it then (game of the year edition with all dlc packs for example) if you can't afford full price. Not the other way around.

    I hope you realize that some day.

  • @GrzegorzWidla "Stealing" is not what I did. I did played a pirate copy, but that ain't "theft". I play a pirate copy, and if the game is good, I buy it and add it to my collection. Either way, developer gets his money. Indeed, I have made a mistake in naming things, but I thought you'll understand what I meant (English isn't my native language). Anyway, I will wait for GotY edition you've mentioned, so I can have valid copy of Skyrim. Thanks for the info btw :)

  • @Zzzdrsss Oh, you haven't downloaded Skyrim for free by the way. You stole it.

    Skyrim doesn't have free to play version. Please name things what they are, not what's comfortable.

  • @tzuyd So you brought three games brand new and they didn't work? The power of refundable goods T_T, assuming you kept your receipt. If you mean there bad games that's a personal problem.

  • @Woodrakes I do know that, but isn't it called a RTS (real time strategy) as well? Or is that just games like Starcraft and Command and Conquer?

  • Well, this is a pickle.

    It spawned me on top of the Helicopter.

    -TB

  • its easy to be an engineer.its hard to be a good one

  • @Axeprot and fyi,you do happen to have a heavy impact on the game if you top the scoreboard every game on every server you get

  • chuck norris is a hunter

  • No being a bigoted pig on private servers / guilds does not mean you aren't a bigoted pig, it just means it's not a public matter.

    And I don't understand why that Humble Bundle allows a price tag under sales cost, if people don't intend to put in the minimum cost coverage then it really is better they go fuck off to torrent sites.

  • 02:35 OH SO YOU HAD A COAXIAL LMG THAT WHOLE TIME!? CONGRATZ FOR USING IT! No but seriously, why didnt you use it earlier?

  • 5:30 utterly false annotation, and video!!! swtor DOES NOT HAVE A PRE-ORDER FEE OF 5$ please retract this annotation/and/or explain in a followup video. the MSRP in the united states is 60$ the origin site simply lists this as a 5$ order fee and a 55$ game, but other retailers are selling the box after release at 60$, the receipt on the origin site is just very weirdly worded. It's basically 5$ fee with 5$ instant discount. It's not an extra charge, and stating this is very slanderous!

  • This was posted on my birthday :D

  • b3ava you must be mentally retarded he goes mental over piracy for a reason companies that make games would make more money and able to produce a higher content of games making them better and more of them and as for games that are sold for charity if you would of bought them instead of pirating them then that money goes into a good cause and by the way dont accuse him of being as bad as a pirate for making money off youtube i will gladly watch a single ad to watch his content.

  • all the replies to b3ava, why dont you just mark as spam? it is advertising pirated games, kill 2 birds with one click.

  • @b3ava Dude. How the fuck does not having a good PC mean you have to pirate. Its to do with Video Game companies, the Ecomony of the Video Games Industry and the entire enviroment that YOU Game in.

  • @b3ava PIRACY IS WRONG AND DONE! is unfair to people who pay to a game, and you just go and take for free! Is almost like stealing from a shop!

  • @b3ava Dude, Piracy is wrong. You are making a total horse's behind of yourself for supporting such a thing! I'm prettu poor, and you know what? If I can't afford a game I SAVE UP FOR IT or ask myself if I really need it! There are plenty of Free to Play games out there, too! People who have 2K gaming rigs and saved up for them are apparently capable of saving up money, and even if they don't have a good computer they should be PATIENT and oh, I don't know, BE AN UPSTANDING HUMAN BEING!?

  • I bought 2 humble bundles for 1 cent. After a recent Mailbox I realised what I'd done after you pointed it out. I since bought 2 humble bundles for upwards of 5 dollars.

    Thankyou for helping me realise my scumminess.

  • I don't like how he says "the correct way to play" theres so many choices in games because there is no correct way to play you do what you want.

  • Corvette ZR1...

  • I wish that Forza Motorsport 4 came out on PC so that TB could put some on his channel...

  • So I'm not a true pc-gamer because I don't have favorite servers/communities or that much friends/group that plays the same games?

  • Comment removed

  • @SixthStanza

    1: 90% is a gross over estimate, according some recent statistics it is around 47.7% percent of the work force that works for major corporations, i mean don't forget that America was almost had a subsistent economy up until 100 years ago.

    2: by "corporations" i am referring to absurdly wealthy CEO's who wish enrich themselves with strict censorship laws that discourages criticism, sharing, and unorthodox acquisition of art.

  • I did not pay extra for pre-order. I am unsure as to what you mean TB. The amount I payed for my pre-order was deducted from the final amount when I went to pick up my physical copy.

  • Got ma chips, got ma drinks, got my tb vid, ready for total relaxation!

  • I think you're missing the point about people who have no-girls servers or only-white-people servers (if such things do exist) - no one's suggesting there should be a rule against it, but I don't see why we can't reasonably conclude they're bigots and slam them for it.

  • I'm fine with Piracy as long as its download movies -2000

  • is anyone else getting big lag problems on BF3 since the latest patch?

  • I don't think people NEED gaming, it's just a very fun (and profitable to some) entertainment.

  • @Naxide NEED (for speed)...

  • @Inirit 1st of all any item in the game can be found without paying a single cent. In fact, most p2pers get their items the same was f2pers do. With regards to the items "giving you an edge," in a fair fight most items could be beaten with entirely stock loadouts. The items in TF2 do not serve the purpose of making you more powerful, but to allow you to play the game in a different way.

  • @11zoomzoom11 You are missing my point entirely. My point is that putting a value on individual items can be cause for a developer to create something ridiculous and/or gamebreaking simply because it will make more money. Whether or not that's the case presently was not my concern, it is that my previous experiences suggest it to be probable. I am pleased to see that, so far, things haven't gone down that route for TF2, but I am still very suspicious of it happening later on.

  • @Inirit Point taken.

  • "You're bad, you're bad, you're casual"

    And people like this guy?

  • @Gotmilk0112 Horray for taking what he says the wrong way!

  • Comment removed

  • @Gotmilk0112 Are you an absolute git, or do you not understand his point?

  • Smegging. Good lad tb, good lad.

  • Guild Wars 2 Beta please. :)

  • @Tr0nc3k When he's in the beta and the NDA is lifted. Then he'll probably do it.

  • well tb, i don't have paypal, or a credit card. Once i turn 18 i will happily pay 5 euro's for something like the humble indie bundle. Right now though, i'm doing everything through paysafe card, and that kinda stuff. one more year to go :P

  • I gotta admit, TB is probably the one youtuber who I respect the most. His wise words coupled with his ability to articulate himself to anyone keep from GOING INSANE! :D

  • @rbagagli and whys that

  • @rbagagli and whys that

  • TB your kinda a bitch

  • Like, Still i pirated Minecraft, I would pay for it anyway. But since i'm still waiting for my creditcard,and can't pay woth paypal, But when i get my creditcard back, i would buy it.

  • heres to hopeign tb does guild wars beta

  • "as am i" thank you im sure hes beter than me by miles but still thank you.

  • Lol! I pre-ordered in November and got in on the 15, wich means i got the advertiesed 5 days.

  • the problem with making passwords on a tf2 server is that it discourages new people to join your community

  • "Are you going to try and tell me it's hard to be a Pyro?"

    Dude, you are two years behind. Heavy is the easymode class now, Pyro is all about multi-weapon combos.

  • Hey guys, wanna hear a joke? The Bill of Rights.

  • Boobs

  • At the moment, and for the past few weeks or so, a footlong Subway sandwich with a drink costs £5.

  • I once got early access of Skyrim, then i took an arrow to the knee.

  • Now I'm extremely curious about your opinion on those humble bundle charities.

  • Dear TB the gaming industry has grown allot. If you look back and played games such as LoL or UT3 meant you were a nerd but the past 2 years have made a change were it's ok to play games. Now any average person can make games these days. Why cant you make a game with all the fun factors of all the games that get put millions of £ and $ in the production and if you cant afford why dont you get a Kick start?

  • Due to personal taste I preferred TF2 when it had fewer weapons because to me at least it put more emphasis on tactics. Of course you are right, in that environment things were only really fun if you had people on the same wavelength or a group of people you know, all of which are in on what you are trying to do.

    On the Humble Bundles I always at the very least beat the Linux average, usually I put in $10. I agree about the charities too, I was sad when I wasn't allowed to choose between them.

  • I am black transgender gay ftp player and I am offended

  • @erzazerzaz You forgot atheist but also jewish...

  • @erzazerzaz You are... Simply... Retarded. 

  • @Bigglez81 That's an understatement.

  • @erzazerzaz your an asshole. jews didnt start the holocaust, hitler did. and you sure sound like him right now.

  • @JOHNNYxBRAVADO This better be sarcasm...

  • @erzazerzaz

    if you're transgender can you technically even BE gay?

  • @N0nC0mprende I guess it's not a completely technical matter. Because, for what I know, a transgender who, say, was once a woman and decided to become a man in most cases did so because she (he) felt that she was more of a man inside (now don't put that out of context) So, even if it is a homosexual relation if we look only at the physical side of things, it may seem heterosexual to one of the two persons.

    Well, that's what I think.

    (If you were able to understand my english.)

  • @N0nC0mprende you are intolerant towards transgenders, we have a right to be gay just like everyone else.

  • @woonam Bethesda tried to make the game as big as possible as a trade off,where MW3 has no sign of effort put in it but again as a trade off not many bugs is the reward so I think Bethesda should still be praised for giving its fans what they want a big open world and they worked hard for that big open world its only common sense they should be rewarded its not a perfect game god no but they still should be rewarded also Bethesda has had the same development process for a long time.

  • I used to pirate software and games all the time. Then I started using Linux and I got out of the bad habit thanks to all the open source alternatives (which there are for Windows as well but it's generally harder to find and know what to trust).

    You CAN NOT pay less than a dollar for the humble bundle.

  • I actually do understand why people who can't buy things AND don't live in the US would pirate games. I live in Taiwan (I do NOT pirate games because I do have money) so I cannot play F2P games because they're all laggy as hell (If they even let people outside of the US play) So if I didn't have any money I wouldn't get to play any games at all...

  • Is TB creating a SWOR guild? I cant remeber hearing that anywhere.

  • FOR THE REPUBLIC !

  • I'm a F2P newbie and I completely agree with you

  • fuck why are top comments replies

  • @MELTYblood8 yours isn't =D

  • @MELTYblood8 i dont know xDD

  • @MELTYblood8 Open up all comments then press F3 and type in their name.

  • I pirated Anno, liked it, bought it.

  • Considering how many amazing new f2players I've met, I would say don't hate. Personally, I've kicked much ass on games against seasoned players who had been playing for more than a year at least where as I had the game for only a couple months or less. Like LoL, I've beat many ranked teams who had over 500 wins or more each person, where as I have only 186 and 4fps at that.

  • Ungh, really, do I have to show you my receipt? $59.95, preorder, $5 fee, final price for game, $54.95. TB, you're on Reddit, this was cleared up months ago!

  • I enjoy your voice

  • I WANT SANTA BABY!!! :P

  • Glad to see you picked up BF3 again, i'm still playing it from time to time, though not that often lately.

  • dwarf fortress for one

  • @TheLivinDead2 I love DF!

  • You are allowed to have an All-White server, but it sure does show you to be a horrible person. Probably true of the F2P excluders too. Which I thought was the argument?

  • @ShammyKalii But F2P excluders are good. F2Players suck ass compared to veterans who have had the game for more than a year.

  • @WeMakeGarbage That is a gross generalization and in no way factual.

  • @TSHMerc I specified the PS3 versions because all games suffer from a 'bug' that can make the games unplayable after a certain time. Also, no modding available there to fix it, even if anyone could.

  • @WeMakeGarbage I doubt it caters to my particular taste in early Acid House, happy hardcore, drum and bass and rare reggae dubplates.

  • I frankly disagree, neither Pyro nor Medic nor Engineer are easy classes.

    You are stating that skillful play = aim. But there's much more to skill than aim, it's called meta - and it's more important for some classes than for others. There are things to master like reflexes and weapon switching (Pyro), team awareness and dodging (Medic) and map knowledge mastery (Engineer).

    A dumbass who puts his sentry in plain sight is indeed a mediocre player, but don't act like "LOL TF2 TAEK NO SKILL".

  • @phoenixfire2001 as said before, easy to play, hard to master

  • @BossLiamidas Didnt think about that...

  • I felt that 20$ was a fair price for the humble bundle. And I have friends who also torrent games, so I rib them for stealing.

  • Tb isn't really nice in chats usually :P

  • Yeah I totally agree with those comments on TF2. Pretty much dead on.

  • @TotalHalibut You equate a server to a house, well I don't force people to watch a 30 second ad before they enter or post banners on the walls. In reality it's a server, not a home or business, but it shows what kind of person you are when you call a loyal subscriber of over a year a retard for expressing my opinion on your video. You're a dick

  • @ThaGoodestFella

    He is, actually, I thought that it was a well known fact that TB is quite an asshole.

  • @ThaGoodestFella You didn't express an opinion you where trying to equate wanting exclusivity in something you own, and spend your recreational time doing, to racism, that's retarded.

    That'd be like saying I'm racist because I threw a party and didn't invite the guy who drinks to much and ends up making an ass out of himself and killing the mood. He might be a dick, but you're a baby.

  • @OIVI3IV First off, who asked you? No one cares about your opinion. Second of all, my 'opinion' wasn't a truth at all, you can't even tell sarcasm through text like most of the internet. You went back and read comments from a day ago and included yourself cause you're lonely. Now make a stupid reply like everyone else does just so they can get the last say and prove my point.

  • @ThaGoodestFella For some one crying his "opinion" was smashed by TB, cute that you have the balls to say no one cares about mine when obviously Mr. Defensive needs a hug.

    Also calling what someone is going to do doesn't mean your point was proven now be quiet and hide because you got talked down to by TB and other fans.

    p.s. Yes I read comments during Mailbox sue me. Don't get mad cause you said something douchey and got called out.

  • @OIVI3IV See you're obviously just vying for attention cause you're a lonely piece of shit. You resort to petty insults cause you have no social skills and clearly no friends. You're also probably the kind of rager that can't let anyone else get the last word and will keep responding like the sad lonely shit you are. Get a life good sir, and you are now blocked. I recommend now you type out the longest insult you possibly could cause I'm positive that I'll receive it. You sad shit

  • @ThaGoodestFella Lul, It's like you don't even read what you type.

  • @DrunkVizard Sadly ya. I really would rather it not. Rather it fail and things improve in a more peaceful manner.

  • hey the pyro is a very complex class if used properly. The airblast is an extremely skill to master and many people discourage running into people while playing pyro

  • i like to know if it wrong to copy a game that i have but i scared to lose i did with empire earth 2 i did lose it but i still have the dowload code. i just leik to know

  • *subscribes* *hears the tf2 part* *unsubscribes*

    I swear.

  • @IdoF47 Whats bad about TF2?
