It was close to thirty dollars, without the expansions.
I pirated Spore a while ago and it worked fine, I didn't play past the second phase though.

If you play it too much, Spore gets boring as hell. The creator is fun though, and I liked the Civilization stage. It's a lot simpler than, well, Civilization games.

It was 33% off, I think, so 30-something dollars?

Did you pirate the indie bundle too

I paid one cent for it but then didn't play anything in it. I bought Aquaria for twenty bucks a while ago, though. I'll buy World of Goo on Steam when it's on sale or when I have more cheddar, and I don't care much about the other games.

I just said I didn't even play them, if anything they got one free cent.
Did you buy any of these games full-priced?

I pirated Spore, played it for an hour or two and never touched it again. I gave a bunch of people one cent (well, three since I bought it three times) and didn't do anything with what I was offered in exchange. I am ruining the industry just as much as people who play games at their friends' houses. And I also own more Steam games than you, so I guess you're actively destroying the gaming industry if I'm ruining it!

I have about twenty dollars on me right now and zero in my bank account, because I spend almost all I receive on electronics, video games or other software.

There is such a thing as reasonable piracy, but what you are doing is not it.

There is?

Either way, EA's not in danger, and I paid for all the PC games that I played, except for Spore and some that I borrowed from a library. I wanted to buy it during the sale earlier this week, but in the end it was still way too expensive for what it is. But as I said, playing one or two hours of pirated Spore isn't much different than playing at someone else's house, because EA's not getting any extra dollars anyway.

I don't have a job, I'm a kid, and I can't afford the 34903789 overhyped games that come out every year and that everybody on the Internet talks about. I do think I'm at a disadvantageous state compared to most of you. Yet the only game I pirated was Spore, when I was fourteen. So, eh, whatever.

Why don't you just not pirate games you don't want to play?

I know it's kind of trivial, but you're costing them bandwidth. Furthermore, it's kind of an insult to say the games are collectively worth one cent. It'd be better if you just pirated, or, as I said, not downloaded it at all.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot how we ended up talking about this. My friend had to get some kinda key to play his pirated Spore. He tried downloading it on his Mac, then asked me to download it for him on my PC and put it on a flash drive for him. Eventually he gave up and decided to pirate The Sims 3, eating up our connection for another fourteen hours or so.

I tried to convince him that there are plenty of great fun free games on the internet that he should play instead, and he told me that Spore and The Sims 3 have been the only video games that even remotely interested him since Halo 3.

He successfully downloaded Sims 3, then quickly proceeded to get bored of it after two days and never play it again.

No, I wanted to play it, because it was super-incredibly-hyped, but then I quit soon after. I do want to buy all the hyped games that come out, but in the end I always do it years after their release. If ever!

I found The Sims 3 boring, maybe I'm playing it wrong. At least it was free.
Free indie games aren't very appealing to the mainstream.
