Ok how many of you lot are using a legit copy of Blitz.
Legit
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Legit Hopefully all of us.
Everyone, I would imagine. Outside of finding exploits in the website, you can't get an account here without a legit copy of Blitz.
I guess you could buy one product and warez another, but I suspect the number of people doing that would be small.
Of course, if they did, I don't think they're likely to admit it on the official website, do you? EDIT: Apparently I was wrong.

I have a Pirate copy of B3D (Which I dont use guys ok), when I was looking for the Lang that I wanted I Emuled Pure, B3D and Bmax
Messed with them a bit, picked Bmax bought it.
Too be honest I liked Pure more than B3D (Because of JePBe;- But Id never used Protean, which apparently was just as good), but the specs of Bmax just sold it to me.
The only time since then that Ive run either PB or B3D was when those "Is Bmax faster" threads were common, to run the comparitive Benchmarks
OK Maybe it was wrong to do, but it wasnt like I had the intention of NEVER buying one. As I saw it (no matter how wrongly) as a "Test Drive"

Not me. The Blitz license is technically illegal in Denmark.
I guess everyone on here has at least one legit version of a Blitz product else how would we post? :)
It just gets my goat how people like ,the numpty
that made mmengine,and original3D get away with it thats all.

I'm Russian and even I've bought it, hehehe :)
All kidding aside - absolutely legit b3d here and I wouldn't see a reason not to buy a product that is reasonably priced...

Why do you want to know how many people have legit copies? Just seems a strange question to ask, is all.
I had a "copy" of BMax for about 2 days then bought it. Only because I stumbled across it and had no idea what BlitxMax was. I would have used the trial version instead of the "copy" had I known about it. As soon as I realized it was real and not some sort of crappy scripted emulator thing, I hunted down the website and bought it.
Then I bought MaxGUI about 2 weeks later...

And people say piracy harms sales. ;/
If this forum were private I couldn't see it being much an issue, but since the public can see this, I'd assume most people would refrain from saying anything about their past acts, as it did mean it eventually led to a sale of the actual product, else they wouldn't be posting here as you mentioned.
Anyways, legit here, albeit I did originally use the b2d demo for 6 months (was a noob programmer back then, so I couldn't justify a purchase until I knew I could actually make use of it, BlitzCoder.com was great back in those days), and then purchased me a full copy of b3d later, back when Idigicon was the publisher of the product.

I had an illegit copy of AmyBlitz, but bought every BlitzPC product except B3DSDK thus far. I bought BlitzBasic (PC/2D)before I had a PC.
i have a legit copy, but i must admit, my friend was testing out different languages so i gave him a copy and told him to buy it later.
My copies of Blitz3D and BlitzMax are completely genuine. No problems here, just need to toggle between Blitz and C++ myself, and trying to convert the source codes for the same stuff I'm working on. Not easy, but having Visual Studio on top of Blitz, that's gonna be rough.
