i pirate because only an idiot would pay for something he can easily get for free

I feel it's worth saying, I don't buy any more, or any less vidya since I've quit pirating.

I definitely play less variety of vidya, but piracy has had zero effect on the money I spend.

Just fucking do it if you want. Why do you need to justify it on an anonymousse image board? You'll only need to find some bullshit excuse when you get somehow caught by the authorities, in which case you were probably doing a bit more than just pirating for personal use.

i pirate because i feel like it. my actions do not require justification.

Is this some kinda April Fools joke?

is this /r/gaming?

Piracy harms sales only if the pirate would buy it at full price if the piracy option wasn't available. On the left if the person who wants to harm the company is a nigger with no impulse control then piracy has helped him maintain the boycott. If he's a nigger with good impulse control then pirating the game did literally nothing.

The right side is dumb because you can't compare how powerful word-of-mouth is between small low budget titles and big AAAAAAAA games where 1488% of their budget goes into marketing to hype up retarded dudebros. The hypothetical "lost sale", that exists based on what the pirate would've done in an alternative universe we can't see into, could well be made up for by extra exposure the game gets. A game like those on the right will never make 6 billion dollars on the release week, like where those on the left get most of their money, but they'll make most of their money over a longer span of time. Compare cult films and TV shows that flop on their release but then make loads on money on the secondary market after they got popular through word-of-mouth.

I personally would never buy a game at full price because I am a huge jew.

Whatever you choose to do is comepltely irrelevant.
If the tens of millions of casuals see enough commercials about a game they will believe its good and make it successful unless its a comeplete disaster like 76.
No matter what you do the entire industry is being controlled by the mouth breathers and children with their impulse buying habits.

I really want to reply and argue with all you shitskin-moral faggots but it wouldbe pointless and I cba.

op is right but the people replying are the literal blacks of gaming.

piracy is morally theft and legally (in most countries) copyright infringment. Both are bad for the dev and publisher. Don't try to sugarcoat stealing, you spineless cucks. Pirates who try to morally justify their doing are the worst.

I don't know how people can claim to love video games while working to actively destroy them. Also, remember AA games? Those were great. Too bad piracy killed them for good.

I just go with what the Darkwood devs say in their torrent, play the game, at some point buy it if you like it, and don't use key sites.

I pirate shit you can't play anymore. You tell me where I can get a gamecibe, adapter, and copy of Kirby's air ride legally without being scalped!

Why should I buy a game when I can get it for free without the risk of getting busted? This way, I can spend my money on other stuff.

Sure thing. When would you say piracy took off?

I pirate because money is better spend on other things that will make your life actually better like , healthy food, protein powder, weights for home gym, clothes, perfumes, haircuts.

Occasionally when it's a niche developer that makes games aimed at me that I like I get the game on release.

If you think paying under $5 for 3 years old ports during a steam sale for a literal license to download the game is going to make any difference or if it makes you a good guy you qualify to be legally retarded and should aplly for gibs.

No such thing. Piracy has existed since the days of floppy disk shareware, and there's been DRM since then as well. Ever heard the slogan "don't copy that floppy"?

See, but in real life if he made a copy of his bike; he built a fucking bike.

Back then though, the DRM wasn't connected to some Internet server, nor did it interfere with the end-user experience like DRM today. Can you even buy a PC game at your game store anymore, let alone play it completely offline without having to rely on some online client? No you can't. And that's partially why video games have become such shit in the last decade.

I pirate because I'm dirtpoor.

I have a hacked switch with all the games I want + emulators. If I didn't hack I couldn't have such a great time.

All of this.

You can argue until you're blue in the face about whether piracy is actually harmful and if so how bad it is exactly, because there's evidence on both sides and very little of it is actually reliable (i.e. not just meant to push someone's agenda), but in the end it doesn't matter because nobody cares.

Pirate if you want, buy if you want, it's not going to impress anyone.

Everything is turning to shit anyway, not only video games.
I don't give a damn.

We're already invaded by niggers and arabs, the Jews are fucking with us like never before, there's no jobs, I can't even take a single day off when I'm sick, I hardly can pay the bills.... Why should I care about vidya gaem well being?

>Is this real?

No.
The original was about reporting suspicious activity from your neighbours

Great Britain. This is what your country looks like on leftism.

>pirates games
>complains about the quality of software

DRM took different forms. Like needing to input passwords that could only be found in the physical manual, or needing to input a unique CD key that would only work once, meaning you could never install the game again afterward. DRM got better as technology got better. It has nothing to do with the rate of piracy. If they could have done it back then, they would have. Nobody was saying "well, we COULD put effective DRM here that connects to an internet server and blocks piracy completely, but piracy just isn't a very big problem yet so let's not."

>I know, I'll compare the right to execute and distribute instructions that can be infinitely copied and transferred at no cost to physical goods!
>I am smart!

I pirate because it's rare to run into a game worth keeping and I don't play online.

I pirate games to try them out. Sometimes I end up buying them, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I will buy the sequels when they come out at full price. I ended up buying 2 copies of Hollow Knight after pirating it.

Get money lazy fucks.its your fault you can’t earn money.

I've bought every game that i pirated and ended up liking.

Games were going to shit long before fortnite, what's stopping people from pirating really going to do?

support devs that make good products by buying their games so that you get more like them in the future. capitalism works, piracy is theft, and you're retarded if you believe otherwise. get a job

Hello,being racist doesn’t justify being poor.Stop making excuses,get off pol,and get a job.Fucking dumbass

You can justify pirating old ps1 and n64 era games because the actual makers probably aren't going to see that money and some of them are insanely expensive.
BUT if you pirate a quality indie title that was released post 2010 your actually a scumbag, simple as.

Capitalism doesn't work. Big companies end up buying smaller ones and then merge together and you end up with a market dominated by a couple of big players that turn everything shit for everyone because there is no more healthy competition.

And the more popular a product becomes the more it is at risk to turn into shit. Developers need to be paid just enough to survive comfortably with a loyal fanbase but not too much as to become a massive success and get turned into shit by corporate jews.

Reminds me of the UK, but I can't be positive.

No, dumb fucks like yourself buying and eating everything shat out by the industry is what caused the downward spiral. It's blind consumerism that causes video games to go to shit as nowadays even the most jewish tactics are viable and profitable. If people witheld on giving their money so easily publishers and developers would have to make more effort.

Development of F2P is completely unrelated to piracy, in fact it's free, there's nothing to even pirate. F2P exploded because casuals, 3rd world shitters and 12yo had access to PCs capable of running these toaster oriented games.

Proper capitalism prevents oligopoly and unfair mergers, there's entire chunks of the government dedicated to monitoring mergers. At least in my country anyway. Unfair competition is not and never will be "capitalism".

I don't need to justify anything

The Punisher
The Simpsons Arcade

Marvel Super Heroes
X-Men vs. Street Fighter
Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter
Marvel vs. Capcom
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game

Until then, you can piss right the fuck off.

Like Gaben said; "Piracy is a service issue".
If you can make your game easy to access with no bullshit for a reasonable price and a demo, I will most definitely buy it if liked the demo.
If you're going to force me to download some shit client, force me to always be online, make it so that the game runs like shit because of said client and refuse to let me try the game, well guess what I will do?
And before the retarded Epic shills jump me for being a Steamdrone; I view Steam with the same skepticism. I prefer GOG, but not all games are on there.

You can be arrested for talking bad about mudeslimes and at the same time the government is covering pedophiles rings and even kill you and your family if you talk about it as a cops

Corps stopped being honest when they stopped creating demos for every single game, and usually heavily scripting the demos they do release.

Combined with this, I've bought and gifted 10 copies of La-mulana in my lifetime (usually when they were 5-15 dollars so let's say on average I spent $100), so I spent $250 on La-mulana because I initially pirated it.

I will never understand why some of you fags go through the mental gymnastics to justify stealing, just say you want to play the game for free you niggers

I'm a student. But you can bet that I'm not going to answer honestly if it would mean something like that.

Nope. It was the Elder scrolls horse armor.

what about " i pirate deal with it"

You don't even know the difference between a developer and a publisher.

"here's why everything bad is actually good"
edgy libertarianism for the 2020s since all the edgy libertarians became fascists
@woke_capital is better

I pirate pretty much everything and if I like the game I buy it afterwards.
I would not have discovered La Mulana for example if I didn't pirate it first.
I treat them like demos pretty much.

it's funny because i actually bought hollow knight full price after i pirated it.

if i didn't i would never bought it in the first place.

neoliberalism is giving way to fascism everywhere lol

i just pirate indie shit cause i don´t wanna pay for it

Wasn't La Mulana freeware?

At least it's going to be funny for a short time. And leftists are going to be btfo.

I wish I was rich to survive all the shit that's going to drop on us.

>>Let me join them
as white people become marginalized and/or minorities they begin to behave economically/politically like marginalized minorities, i.e. they begin to view the system as something hostile to extract value from rather than something positive to participate in

this is the future you chose

I pirate because I like free stuff.
I have a 3ds and a psp with CFW on them,loaded with free games and emulators.
I'm not going to try to justify it beyond the fact that I just wanted free shit.
Although it's not like I could find any "new" PSP games these days anyways so as far as that goes I'm just avoiding shit like buying from Gamestop or Ebay.

Good job giving the finger to scalpers by pirating user, however:
>There are over 110M Wii + Wii U that can play GCN games no problem
>There's rarely ever anyone playing air ride on xlink kai so why bother with an adapter
>a modded system will play backups

Yes,but I found about it through the remake.

This one I get. I emu games that can't be found anymore, but personally would be more comfortable paying for it.

>Glad that I gave my money to indie devs that deserve to be paid for making good games (which are better than most recent AAA titles)

And that's why I don't pirate games. Because of me and others buying games from those indie devs, they now have the funds to make more good games.

Team Cherry turned a DLC into a whole new game for fuck's sake. They didn't fund that with exposure.

>evidence on both sides
No one actually believes this right? If they have definitive proof of piracy spearheading a video game crash they would cough it up, instead the studies they commission aren't supporting the piracy bad theory so they get buried.

I don't take issue with people who pirate, but just admit that you do it because you want free games

I get you brother
As a general rule I've been a buyfag for modern things, i have every sony and nintendo console ever, and an xbox mostly from growing up with video games, but i'll download like roms and shit, stuff you can't really buy anywhere. Except buying everything is becoming ridiculously expensive and not very rewarding, and i have a family now. Considering retiring from console gaming after this generation, building a decent pc, buying some xbone controllers and becoming a pirate.

You're barely human.

and he was right

Sshh.... facts hurt the pirate

If it was a little indie game it could be done free, like all the free indie games completed even before the crowdfund/patronage boom.

I don't see facts there, just claims.

He confiscated all f the Jewish property they hoarded like OCD rabid dogs they are and redistributed it in public projects and infrastructure while subsidizing German industry. It healed entire country in 7 years.

So what is the problem there?

Socialism, but for whites and its all stolen resources from non-whites. Oh wait that exists today. Its called Social Democracy,

Maybe i just do not care. If the industry burns tomorrow and there are no games coming out for a long time i will not care.
I will either play old games or find another hobby.

What if I pirate because I actively want the industry to crash?

I pirate because I can and won't face literally any consequences due to not living in a cucked country. No justification is needed if you're not a faggot.

Fuck society, user.

i don't care if its harmless or not, you can't stop me from getting free games and i'll never pay if i don't have to

before GOG was a thing it was actually impossible to buy 99.99% of games released before Steam opened itself to other developers

now that GOG is doing not-so-great only time will tell how many games will go back to be shelved under licensing issues again

We won’t have to, the only games left will be f2p.

The result is obviously infinitely many bikes and almost no bike-makers, so they can go to be actually productive members of society. Why is that bad again?

How will OP recover?

It really isn't. It's a radically socially progressive party with high levels of immigration and increased regulation of business, increased taxation, running down of the Armed Forces, loosening of laws on drug consumption while removing long standing civil liberties in terms of free speech in order to suppress opposition to these policies, furthermore there's even more attempts at gun control and continued insistence on belong to trans-national bodies that seek to dissolve the nation state while promoting a regionalisation agenda put forward to them by foreign powers. Both Crown and Church have been weakened over the last seven years and left wing groups frequently advise and make policy for them. There's nothing conservative about the Conservative party's leadership or its policies.

Something being easy to replicate doesn’t justify its theft, you commie faggot. Video games still cost money to make.

I never bought game in my life.
this.

>Imagine a world where we don't have to deal with DRM and microtransaction bullshit everywhere. Imagine a world where games aren't tied down to some stupid online service or computer program
I don't have to imagine. As a pirate, this is the world I've always lived in. It's kind of amusing seeing AAA studios making their games worse than the pirate alternative over the years.

You sound like a cool guy, you can come home and fuck my sister.

>playing ms5
Slut

I pirate because it doesn't hurt me directly. Idgaf about the paycheck of some developer in Burgerland. I'll buy multiplayer, an dx I'll buy genuinely amazing games, as long as the price is fair.

Thing is, game prices are never fair.

I don't need to justify copying your work, you have to justify why you should be paid for it. I don't think entertainment software inherently has any monetary value, thus you don't deserve any money, no matter how much you worked on it. My ISP deserves my money for maintaining the physical cables, MEGA deserves my money for maintaining the physical servers, but you do not inherently deserve any money, as you have not created anything real. Money should only be exchanged for physical goods.

Accept this wisdom and move on.

>Paradox games.png

I pirate only on PC and then buy console versions of the games I played, because I don't want to give devs money through PC digital distributions.

Which makes okay for me to pirate like that.

>pirate to give exposure
Not sure why you put that there. I never say it's "beneficial." The trying out part is good, since games take longer than 2 hours these days to pick up speed and bypass the refund limit.

>Money should only be exchanged for physical goods
Aside for game dev, there are numerous jobs that don’t directly involve physical goods like being a mathematician or teacher. By your logic all these people should be denied monetary compensation. That’s what Mao did you dumb motherfucker, you need a free helicopter ride.

It was a single specific uploader from about a year ago, their stuff should be clean these days but.
