        It's funny when some dumb ass pirates a game before the street date though and they come crying to the forums for tech support figuring the developers will fix the issue for them.
        
        I've seen the ones where you have to submit the crash log too and people out themselves for pirating games or software.
        
        Still sucks that the pirates have this sense of entitlement for service on something they stole. They probably wear Che Guevara shirts too which they were too dumb to counterfeit and paid money for.
