You guys can discuss the game and whatnot...that's fine....but I want to bring up a big problem.

Piracy

Piracy is a bad thing no matter what it is....but for Metro: Last Light....please just don't pirate the game. THQ is the publisher and they're in the -blam!- money wise. They need some financial help to stay alive...and Metro is one of their better franchises.

So please....unless you want THQ and all of their great games (IMO) to go away...then PLEASE do NOT pirate Metro: Last Light...or any THQ game being released right now...like Company of Heroes 2 and South Park: The Stick of Truth.

Basically what i'm saying here is this....

Pirate Metro, Company of Heroes, and South Park (or just 1 of those) = Goodbye THQ

Buying Metro, Company of Heroes, and/or South Park = THQ that can live a bit longer.

If THQ goes under they will sell off their IPs, the series will continue.

Of course! I've never pirated a THQ game. I don't plan on it, I support them as a company, I like most of the games they publish.

I've been waiting for Metro: Last Light for quite awhile now, and am sticking to that as it is. I may have lost all my progress on 2033 when I lost my account (4 Playthroughs, one on each difficulty; including a 5th one that I did not finish on Ranger Mode Hard) but I still have high hopes for Last Light.

I know that...but I mean...think of the possibilities of who could buy those IPs.

EA
Activision
Microsoft
Ubisoft

Quite frankly....if any one of them got a hold of the IP...they would run the series (Metro) into the ground and milk the -blam!- out of it.

Thank you smartass.

I know I can't stop piracy. I just can't. I just wanted to point out in this thread that obviously its not good to pirate...but like...if you pirated THQ's upcoming games...that'll make the company go away and their IPs be sold off to -blam!-ier publishers. Which none of us want to happen.
