ObsidianCrow Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) So a couple years back, I decided to buy the Oblivion GOTY Deluxe edition on Xbox360. Back then, I did not have the kickass laptop that I do now. I played it for quite a while and eventualy got bored because I had played through the different story lines. I experienced the same thing in skyrim, though I chose to buy skyrim on PC after I had already bought it on Xbox because i just got a new PC and Skyrim with mods sounded like fun. After about 4 or five monthes of playing with mods, I had managed to squeeze about 300 hours out of skyrim just by adding mods. Now, Im a bit short on money recently as ive been fired from my first job, and I feel like rekindling Oblivion in the way I had done with Skyrim. However, I dont have, nor do I feel like spending another 26 dollars for a game i already own. Would it be bad to get a cracked copy of oblivion when I already own it? Now I'm not saying I endorse piracy or anything, in fact, I do not like piracy because ive had problems with it in the past. What I'm asking is if it would be wrong of me to simply get a cracked copy of a game that I already own from one of my friends that has it?

postal001 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yes...you still have to pay for things even if you already own a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsidianCrow Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) I feel like its a bit asinine to not be able to get some form of key or something that lets me use what I already own without having to buy it multiple times. I know that some companies are actually kind enough to allow you to have the game cross-platform, so long as you've bought it on one of them, though I cant remember any specific games off the top of my head. It feels as if I'm eating an Ice cream cone, then when I finish the ice cream and am about to eat the delicious wafflecone, the vendor takes it back and tells me I have to buy another one if I want to eat the cone as well. :mellow: Edited November 8, 2014 by ObsidianCrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampireDante Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 You either pay for the game, or do without. Gaming is a luxury, not a need or a life requirement - if you can't afford to buy a game then you go without it until you can. There is no excuse for piracy.
