ORIGINAL: AW1Steve Guys I'm a little concerned about something I read in another (now locked) thread. When you get heavily involved with a forum for people who play a particular game, isn't it EXPECTED that you purchased the game? I mean from a moral point of view. Isn't it otherwise like sneaking into the back of a cinema , then complaining about the movie? Maybe RevRick can weigh in and give us a "provessional" view. Green button aside, I don't feel like I'm dealing with a troll. I feel like I'm dealing with a theif. No, he's not expected to purchase it. He's never claimed to have played it and I dont think he's ever said anything which would lead me to believe that he has a stolen copy. But he regularly complains about game mechanics of a game he's never played, which strikes me as odd at the least and mentally unbalanced at the other extreme. When I purchased the game , I read the little Blurb that Matrix used as part of the sales pitch. Free access to the forum was definately mentioned. Stolen a game? No. But using something that he's morally not entitled? Apparently others on this forum disagree with me. Next time someone camps out on your front lawn (or even your local park)...don't worry...their not really stealing it! Sorry Steve, not the same. If you want to draw a parallel, use your local coffee shop, which, like Matrix, is a business. If you go to Starbucks and without buying anything sit there chatting with your friends who have all bought a cup of coffee, I very much doubt that you will be asked to leave as long as you behave yourself and refrain from, say, spanking your monkey. To continue the parallel, if you make constant comments about how bad the coffee is without ever (by your own admission) having bought a cup, you will probably get a few dirty looks but will not be thrown out. Nor will you get thrown out for repeating the same mantra about how you believe coffee should be made and that you think Turkish coffee is infinitely superior to Colombian coffee ad nauseum.
