    you joking kyzler? there are loads about. Sadly torrentspy has been rubbish the past year when they removed all their torrents. this is not a losing battle as new ones keep popping up when ones are closed. Piratebay ftw

    That site was crap anyway. Full of porn popups and ads that make the site un-godly slow.

    Private Trackers for the win ! :banana:

    I'm not going to cry over the loss of any 'service' that inadvertantly promotes piracy.

    Piracy is killing games, and also the music industry. For every new band out there prospering by having their name spread, there will be a dozen struggling 'non-scene' artists losing sales through p2p services.

    I don't believe the 'play the torrent game and then buy it if it's any good' theory.
    Absolute rubbish. Most games (Not all) have demos for that reason.

    Most games are about £20-25, and take 10-15 hours. You'll pay the same for standing on a cold Division 2 football terrace for 2 hours. Now the pricing of Games & music CDs and DVDs has fallen to a decent level, there is no excuse for stealing via p2p.

    My rant is not intended to be inflammatory, and I'm sure most of you fellow users will disagree. The one fact is as far as games go, we are now fast cutting our own throats with regards the production of new dedicated PC games.
    We have the best gaming platform, but our greedy culture can't help itself.
