It's interesting to see games on the console release early, working in the game retail area and see a couple games come missing from the warehouse every now and then does seem to bring the questions up to the likely hood of these warehouses and disappearance of one game out of 100's.
To be honest if a individual's motivated it probably isn't too hard.
I just wanted to point out that WoW is pirated and has been widely since it released. You guys said the game isn't "hackable" but you are 150% wrong. There are servers out there that are privately run that have hacked ever aspect of WoW and you play on them for free. Running a game online and charging a monthly fee to play them isn't a solution to the problem.
My mistake, what was said was "WoW being non-stealable" Regardless thats 150% wrong.
finally acknowledging console piracy?
Its alot easier to pirate console games than PC games, especially since you can rent a console game for $2 and pirate it...
WOW is awesome, and i feel sad for you. And pray hell onto your life that you die a miserable death in the coming future. 15 bucks a month is not that bad, i would say if it were cheaper like 5 or 10 bucks then it would be alright, 15 is a bit high but the effort into keeping the game updated and running the servers cost money, i don't see how WOW hacked can be free without certain problems, like maybe its freely hacked in playing it but without people in the world, but with thousands of people connected and playing it i highly doubt it. The experience is unbeatable you cannot experience anything better then playing wow and fighting a huge battle, there's nothing like it and its totally worth the 15 a month. 150% is juvenile, just say 100%.
