Sugestion regarding piracy

[Licaon_Kter]

So whenever anyone posts here, we can all decide whether a person is a good citizen of the Nation of Frictonia based on whether she has purchased all of the games?

If one did not buy Penumbra why does s/he post here saying that s/he problems running it? If one did not buy Amnesia why does s/he post here saying that s/he problems running it?
I did not say anything about buying all games or something.

What if that person thinks that one of the games looks too scary and decides not to play it?

I'm strictly speaking about Tech Support. Such a person can freely post and interact in all the other sub-forums.

Does she have to buy a copy in order to keep the forum from looking down on her?

If s/he does not play it s/he has no need to ask here for help regarding technical issues and the devs don't invest time in helping him/her. I won't look down on anyone, I play FG games on 30 minute play sessions since they scare me, so who am i to judge.

You could set up a bugzilla site and tie that to the activation codes. I'm not sure I like the idea, but that would accomplish what you want to accomplish without the chilling effect that your proposal would have on discussions in these forums.

What chilling effect? Is that the chilling effect when you read some user asking for help on running the game although s/he "stole" the game? That's the effect that I don't like either.

When buying the game one bought the right to get tech support here, my idea is simple: only FG client deserve tech support.

Cheers
