tl:dr EA has done us wrong enough to warrant a loss on the same level as a credit card theft.
Since you didn't quite seem to understand the point I was trying to make.
When EA makes a system that's mutually beneficial to both sides, then I'll support them and go on the great witch hunt for those trying to exploit and work around it.
But since we all know that's not going to happen, we'll just continue to sit here and argue about ethics, using video games and online glitches as our basis.
That's eye for an eye BS. There's nothing moral about that reasoning.
Yup, nothing moral about a line ripped from the BIBLE. LOL
I can rip a whoooooooole lot of immoral stuff from the bible.
So? you said there is nothing moral about eye for an eye. Morals are subjective BY NATURE. Yours are yours and you can't judge someone elses perspective based on your limited moral exposure.
Exactly. Just because most of us share common moral grounds (like how stabbing your sister in the face is not a morally sound action) doesn't mean that there's a set, absolute morality.
Just because my actions don't follow your morals doesn't mean I'm a despicable person.
I was showing you the fault in your reasoning. If you really think eye for an eye is moral then you have a warped sense of morality.
I'll break it down a little very briefly.
People prefer to be happy, and prefer not to be in pain.
Therefore we reward behavior that promotes happiness and well being. (moral)
And we punish behavior that causes misery and anguish.(immoral)
You may think something like, putting out someone elses eye is a good thing to do, but society doesn't agree with you, and society will stop you, and they will prevent you from continuing that behavior.
That is why we have prisons.
