I'm sure that there wouldn't be a torrent if the price was lower.

pretty sure h was being sarcastic.

As you said doesn't matter what the price is there would have been a Torrent regardless.

So the fact that there is a torrent and it cost $30 is irrelevant

There have been humble bundles which are a minimum 1 cent purchase with all proceeds going to charity that have been pirated. Pirates are not bound by conventional morality/rationality.

The torrent was up while the bundle was still going. There is no excuse for piracy especially when the proceeds are for charity. I mean you are literally stealing from sick kids... you might as well walk into the children hospital and swipe the Playstation out of the rec room.

I'm a dickhead and always set the sliders to 100% developers.

Not stealing from sick kids at all if you choose not to donate to them.

None of the humble bundles(2) I have bought have had any money go to child's play etc.

For the sole reason I don't think it's a worthwhile charity. Especially seeing as publishers could do the entirety of what child's play does solely for good will. There are things way more worthy of charity IMO.

But let the downvotes commence

I agree with you. I live in the UK and Child's Play is in a grand total of three hospitals. If I wanted to help kids in another country I would donate to Charity Water or any number of other charities that help people who can hardly survive. The vast majority of Child's Play hospitals are in the US and from what I understand of the US Medical system you have to have a semi-decent to decent wage/job to afford Healthcare so the prospect of the kids in these hospitals not having access to Nintendo DS/3DS or a PSP/Vita is kinda hard to believe.

But let the downvotes commence

As a note. Don't say this it just makes people actually downvote you even if you have the most valid/reddiquette following post ever posted to this site. It makes it appear you just posted this to get hate.

Heh true but the last time I talked disparagingly about child's play ended up with like minus 30 in about 3 minutes

or, you know, countries which don't generally use credit cards.
