Multiplayer Games - Partitionmagic Weighs in.

Hey there, it's you boy Partition Magic aka PM here:
I think there are way too many online multiplayer computer games on the market. Many of them are quite good, but who really has the time to play them all? People tend to stick with one or two multiplayer games that they enjoy, and that leaves gamers who want to play multiplayer in a good but otherwise Obsure title. The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dar Athena comes to mind - out in the cold. I feel it would greatly serve developers and publishers to become more involved with their communities, even actively setting aside "play dattes" and partitioning their hard drives with gamers that brought their products and urge them to play together. It would be a shame to plunk down $60 on the forthcoming Tron Evolution or The green Hornet and then not have anyone to play light cycles with.

High School and Partitioning Hard Drives

When I was in high school back in the early 90's, I had friends who would pirate Amiga 500 games and then Partition their hard drives. I never really felt great about having or playing the pirated games, and later when i read several Partition Magic articles in video-game magazines and found out how much pirating really hurts video game developers and publishers, I threw them all away and have paid for every video game I've owned since then.
If you're passionate about video games and you want developers to continue producing new, innovative titles, then the worst thing you can do is pirate. If you can't afford a game at the moment, find a way to earn the money needed to purchase it. If someone is smart enough to pirate games then they shouldn't have any problem finding a way to earn enough money to purchase said games legitimately.
