Well Blaket I'm sure you realize that pirating games if far closer to communism than forming a gamer activist group. I guess I am overestimating the camaraderie of gamers. Just Frag em and leave em eh? Are we really so anti-social that everything ok as long we don't screwed? You would rather call the victims idiots (often rightly so) than help end the screwings. You're not the best decision maker for every aspect of life be it cars or real estate or school, and if people before you hadn't stood up and said "boo" you'd be getting screwed harder and longer than any impetuous gamer. Are you scared to stand up or just stuck in your seat?
It sounds like you took my advise on the three G&Ts. :^:
Your post is incomprehensible. Blaket never mentioned piracy, and we frown on that here anyway.
People didn't buy it that's why. As to their motives, it was pretty much because the front end looked like a giant vagina and the general consensus was that driving around with a vag on the front end of your car is bad.
Although, if it were released today, I'd see it doing rather well.

No, if I fuck up, I take responsibility for it.
Back when I was at highschool if I failed a test, I don't fucking picket my teachers office. I study harder.
If I buy a lemon of the car I'll accept that I should of looked closer at what I was buying.
If I buy a shitty game I'll ask myself, there are heaps of review sites, why didn't I go check them first?
I take my decisions seriously and accept they are my decsions. I don't fall over and cry and try and blame someone else for my bad decisions.
I mean it's not like a group of people went and stood in front of a dealership with signs saying "Please to be removing vag from Edsel. Neighbors will talk!"
soo what's that lemon law thingy I always hear about?
Well, if we we're talking about if you went to buy a game, and the retailer had replaced the disk with dog poop so they could see the real one, you might have an analogy there.
We're not talking the auto industry here, where defective products will maim and kill you. Games are an entirely subjective concept, and a shit game to you is most definately a gem to someone else.
Perhaps we should be picketing Kojima, Miyamoto and co for raising our standards too high.
If you get laid one night by some hideous beast, do you go raging to her parents that they didn't raise her a Penthouse Pet, or do you promise not to drink quite so much next time?

You want to get your friends together to picket Gamestop?
Seriously?
Do you really think that game makers give a shit if you and your buddies are wasting your afternoon standing outside a store? No, they care about how many units their game sells, and then dictate their new project based on that success or failure.
Stop impulse buying shitty games and you'll send a much clearer message.
Excellent that clears that up because I thought it meant if you find something wrong with the product that wasn't represented or initially visible you could take it back. No one has addressed SW:G but I suppose you're going to say the fact that no one plays it shows they screwed up. Free market solves everything right? Have you noticed it doesn't. Companies need laws to guide them. You could be one of those laws but I guess IGN would get less add revenue then. Consumerism > Decency.
Hey guys, I had to write down my mantra in Faxanadu but fucked it up because it's so God dammed long. Someone give me my money back.
Zelda had on board memory, why not Faxanadu?

Actually I've changed my mind.
I think you should picket Gamestop. Get some pictures of aborted foetuses and wave them in the air and yell in people's face "THIS IS WHAT YOUR GAME LOOKS LIKE."
Take photos and post them, it will entertain me, and I will be happy.

Yes. Let's create a legal definition of fun. Then we can get the motherfucking Justice Department involved.

If we manage to pull that off we'll be able to finally send Lucas to jail for those fucking Prequels!
You see, when you buy a game, your actually casting a vote. Your voting that this product is the one you back up and support. The issue with games is you can vote for many of the same or similiar games but if your tight on money like me, you will not buy both Saints Row and GTA:SA. You will have to choose. This is a very basic example, but it's really applicable to anything.

No, I am enjoying making fun of you, you will continue to say stupid shit.
1) Gamestop doesn't make the fuckin games man. Why protest there? If you buy a shitty game at my store, it's not my god damn fault. Not to mention Gamestop already has a 7 day return policy on used games if you don't like them. Perhaps you didn't know that.
2) Gamestop is not going to let you picket their stores.
Have you ever read a game manual? I have. Let's say, for instance, you had the PC game Sparta sitting on your desk, like I do. (Way behind reviewing it, huzzah!) Open the case, pull out the manual, and flip to the back. There should be something to the effect of "Eidos, Inc. License & Limited Warranty." If you're opening your bemoaned Star Trek: Legacy, it will probably say Bethesda Softworks! Now, I'm not going to type out the whole thing, but I'll give you a choice bit.
Eidos, Inc. warrants to you, the original purchaser of this disc, that for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of your purchase, this disc shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship. If, at any time during the applicable ninety (90) day warranty period you determine that this limited warranty has been breached, Eidos, Inc. agrees, in its sole option, to repair or replace, free of charge, any such disc, provided the disc is returned postage paid to the Eidos, Inc., Factory Service Center and prood of date of purchase is included...

No other claims arising out of your purchase and use of this disc shall be binding on or obligate Eidos, Inc., in any manner.
So, it seems like they've kind of got you covered.
Also, you're a twat.

To be fair to our OP, that nice little statement you posted seems only to refer to the actual physical disc and not what is contained on the disc, which is what his complaint is. He has a point, but his ideas are rather ridiculous.

When they say they are selling the disc "as-is," it can be inferred they are referring to the content of that disc. They will replace the disc if it is broken, but whether you know it or not, by purchasing the game you are accepting the terms of a contract that says they have no obligation to fix anything other than a manufacturing error.
You know, after reading a whole lot of the initial responses to his first post, I've come to the conclusion that a large number of the PA population are absolute, died-in-the-wool, prentious pricks.

No, I knew it already, I just like having solid proof of it.
Edit: In a lot of ways, this place is no better than GameFaqs. Just because people can't put together coherent sentences, it doesn't levy them from the responsibility of being human fucking beings.
