[quote who="Snarl" reply="24" id="2142287"] I like the simple approach.. Pirateing is wrong Wait for the Demo or buy the game IMHO Cheers; Snarl [/quote] Unfortunately, the world isn't simple. Also, is it truly "pirating" if I honestly want to just try it before I buy it? If the end result is the company gets money from me OR I delete the game, is it truly pirating at all? You
[quote who="Zubaz" reply="13" id="2141335"] Asking or providing is a good way to get banned from teh forums and support and the store. k? [/quote] Err, sorry. But I'm serious about this whole pirate-to-try thing. I don't think I play any games I don't own. As long as there's no other way to guarantee my money isn't being wasted... Anyway, this has already been hashed and rehashed. [quote]Likely within the month. [/quote] Sweet.&
[quote who="comanoodle" reply="9" id="2140676"]They either block ports, or they look at the headers. Headers are a no-issue (since it's different from BT's), but for some reason Stardock chose to use port ranges which include the BitTorrent port ranges.[/quote] I would imagine it's both.

WoW being the most recent one. I can only assume that the connection to the multiplayer server is the important part, and will allow play. But yes, a demo would be fantastic before I go and blow $50 on a game I can't play.
[quote who="Rhah" reply="19" id="2139795"]I have alway pirate to try games out before I buy to many developers now adays either release a game thats not well thought out or tons of bugs (should of been in beta still)[/quote] [quote who="Rhah" reply="19" id="2139795"]Its just a necessary evil, so you wont be out $50 for a bad product, and its not a money issue its a principle issue. As long as companies get away with selling shody products with no reprocussions they will continue to do
I actually came to this forum to ASK where I could get a demo or trial. My university blocks torrents and peer-to-peer, so I can't pirate-to-try. I'm a huge supporter of Stardock and their non-DRM games, so if I'm even slightly interested in the game, I'll buy it. But since I can't even try it out, I'm not going to waste my $50 (I like having the box/materials) on a game I haven't even found screenshots of. Is a demo SHORTLY forthcoming? Can anyo
