[quote]"If you go into a baker's to buy a bun and they give you the wrong change and you walk away knowing you have been given more change than you handed over in the first place, that's theft," Sara Ludlam, an intellectual property expert at Lupton, Fawcett, Lee & Priestley told the BBC.
"So, arguably if you go into this game knowing you are supposed to be paying for these weapons and you notice a glitch allows you to accumulate them without paying, that's theft as well.[/quote]
Right this bottom bit about buying a gun in game confuses me.
In Dead Space 3 you can buy a gun that is already in the game, so would the example given in this article really make sense? Think about it you can do 1 of 3 things.
1. Buy the gun
2. Find the gun
3. Cheat to get the gun early
Now the example says cheating to get that gun "early" is theft because you don't pay for it yet it is in the game anyway and can be added to the players arsenal for free.
So how can it be theft??

It sounds like buying the gun only gives you early access. The player will get it eventually, with enough time.
