I pirate because why would I spend money on something I could get for free? That's just an extra $60 of disposable income I have. Come at me, fags.
I don't care
The only justification piracy needs is:
>I don't want to pay money for games
>I don't have money to pay for games
Anything else is pure gay faggotry.
What justification. I pirate because I don't want to spend money. I don't care what effect it has because I'm selfish.
But the crossed out text should literally be the entire image?
Where does "I pirate because fuck digital only" fall?
>piratng quality indies that don't even cost $60
Fuck you if you do that.
i pirate games that arent worth the money or have shitty devs
celeste with a tranny that hates men
factorio thinking his game is hot shit and MUH NEVER SALE belief
metro exodus, etc
Meh I pirate because I don't want to pay for games with DRM.
Those are the only games I pirate, besides others not available in my country.
I buy my games otherwise and would buy more if they were available.
I pirate occasionally because after years of of it being a thing, demos are no longer a common practice for games
Actual men who don't give a shit and do as they please
Retarded cretins deluded enough to believe that they're fighting a revolution
I pirate because I can
why isn't that on your spectrum
in fact, you crossed it out
most people who pirate simply don't give a fuck, it's right there for free and it takes like 4 clicks
you can go into google and type "mega.co.nz" + "name of video game" and it's that fucking easy
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad indie devs
I wouldn't spend the money on the games i don't buy. Plain and simple. This allows me to play recent games without "falling out" of gaming entirely.
>paying for digital files
Indie games aren't worth pirating.
They're just mediocre ripoffs of classic arcade / pre-Playstation 1 era games. Why would you buy or pirate an indie game when you can just pirate and emulate the real thing?
>this thread again
>it will inevitably reach post limit because faggots can't resist replying
I'm not fighting a revolution. Fuck DRM and if you put it in a game you are objectively a bad developer and a bad person.
If I buy a game I should be able to play it today or 10 years from now.
DRM is gay and so are you.
I pirate because I have no respect for developers as humans and if I could get away with it I'd literally march into their homes, pop their fucking skulls open with a monkey wrench, and take all of their belongings and cash too. They are all faggots fuck em lmao
why do people feel the need to justify their actions? it doesnt effect anyone else on here, if you want to pirate just do it then.
I don't care anymore, why should I justify myself to you cunts ? If I don't want to give money for something that's my god damn problem.
>implying I need a justification for my actions
Imagine being this spooked, lmao
Yes, you believe you're fighting a revolution. Like, you pretend you're el Ché Guevara reborn, peleando por los derechos de los consumidores en contra del imperialismo digial Yanqui or some gay shit like that.
Pirate every game possible apart from games I'm intending to do play online, ps4 exclusives which I get on sale at least a year after release, unfortunately Switch games don't drop in price when I eventually buy that. But playing games like this costs you literally nothing every year less than 200 for everything you could ever want
BASED AND REDPILLED
I pirate because I have no reason to care
Bait thread but it is strange that such moralfags exist out there
Glad they do though, they are needed to keep the gears turning
choosing not to put money into something he doesnt support is pretentious now?
I just don't buy games
Che Guvera was a cunt. I buy games just not ones with DRM.
I also emulate games that aren't available like Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War since it was never localized.
Justification implies that there's something wrong with pirating games. Imagine telling someone to justify eating.
It is because at the end you aren't doing anything at all but still pretend you do.
Like people doing Facebook activism.
I don't generally pirate unless what I want is prohibitively expensive or locked behind some kind of package that doesn't have other things I need.
For instance, I'll pay for Netflix and Crunchyroll, because I get my money's use out of them. I didn't get an Amazon sub to watch Inuyashiki though. That's the only anime I wanted to watch that was even locked behind amazon. 3 months of subscription fees for 20 minutes a week is a no go.
Games I almost always pay for, now that I have a job. I don't really have a reason to pirate them. There are so many games sitting in my steam library right now that I have not played yet. This is going to be my first summer since I started driving at the tender age of 25 too. I'm STRICTLY going to stick with dota stacks and phone games after this fucking snow goes away.
I pirated Hollow Knight. I think it's among the best games I've ever played. I've put around 75 hours into it, and I've thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Still haven't payed for it. Not gonna pay for the sequel either. Why the fuck would anyone spend money when they don't have to? Everything in this gay world costs money, and if I can get something for free, I would be a cuck if I chose not to.
Suck my dick.
i'm still up $60 lmao, dont have to install bloatware launchers either
Well what do you expect me to do? Physically go out and shoot-up EA's offices?
Not buying games with DRM is the only non-violent way to stop it. Whether the end-user pirates the game or not is irrelevant. It's someone making the concious choice to not buy a game with DRM depriving the company of a sale, the only language these companies understand.
Piracy is perfection,do whatever you please,perfect for an autoregulative society.
I myself sometimes pirate and sometimes buy,Im sure some people never buy and some people never pirate,its a perfect balance
Because don't want to pay to and nobody can stop me.
Also fuck megacorps.
Everyone gets caught up on the money aspect of piracy. I don't bother approaching this argument that perspective anymore because it clearly hasn't gone anywhere productive.
I now approach piracy from a copyright perspective. Whether or not someone thinks a game is worth buying, if they pirate it, or distribute the pirated game themselves by seeding or some other way, that's copyright infringement. Even if you think it's the greatest game ever and you love the developers and you're convinced word-of-mouth and passing it around for free is "great/free advertising", copyright law states that it's not up to you. The promotion, branding, products, that's entirely up to the producer of the content. If they don't mind that, nothing will happen, which is why some companies and brands are more lax than others. And no, not prosecuting copyright infringement does NOT mean the holder loses their copyright.
It's up to the copyright holder to know how to sell their product, and they have the inalienable right to fuck themselves over. So if they didn't do enough advertising, that's not your problem. If it is, join the studio that made the game, if you can. Pirating or distributing the game in any way infringes on the exclusive right that the copyright holder is entitled to to distribute the game themselves. So yeah, if they wanted, they could sue for copyright infringement. The ones permissive of that are probably only comfortable because they rightfully believe a vast majority of the public is too stupid to know how to pirate anything, so it won't put a dent in their sales too much.
What about games that aren't available in certain countries? If there is no option to purchase the game I can't really fault a person for pirating it.
Sure it's copyright infringement, but there are many places where these companies have no presence which it isn't copyright infringement since there is no copyright holder.
This has literally been the case for China until recently.
Cause it's free u fucking retards
>The ones permissive of that are probably only comfortable because they rightfully believe a vast majority of the public is too stupid to know how to pirate anything
It still seems strange to me that people can't. They love consuming media just as much as we do.
I'm glad they can't/don't of course.
I only pirate anti straight white male games
Why would you want to play gay white male games?
OP is a fag
>I don't want to pay money for games
>I want to gloat to "moral" autists like OP
While it's far off from reality, the answer to that would be for people in those countries to make their own games. There's plenty of resources and open-source stuff to encourage just that. Hell, with enough knowledge of Game Maker you could make the core of an action RPG in just a few hours, a few more procedural generation elements and a few months or over a year of making graphics and you got another rogue-like game to add to the glut of them on Steam. As for what you said about other countries and copyright holders, yeah, international copyright stuff can be very messy. Russia and the US don't have an extradition treaty, so the guy that's downloading dozens of US/Japanese made games probably won't face any real consequences.
They love consumption, the world does, it feels like the singularity we're all swirling towards. I remember in the late 90s is was extremely uncool to brand yourself, and here we are, almost into the 2020s, where people divulge every detail about every aspect of their life and look for opportunities to capitalize upon any one of those aspects without even blinking. Instead of competition, there's been more mergers than ever. Instead of more creators among everyone, there's not as much to keep in proportion the population. People love technology, but they don't respect technology. They fear the power it has and what it can do to them, so they're content with letting someone else do everything for them, they'll accept the convenience even at detriment to their own capacity to think and create. Combine anti-competitive legislation and extremely high barriers of entry, we're talking billions of dollars, and you have where we're at now. It's why the democracy of the Internet is at stake, because the powers that be decided we couldn't be trusted with it. And because they conditioned people to think that way, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I don't pirate games cause I feel morally bad, to not support a developer I don't like like EA, I just don't buy the games
If you pirate a game and like it then you can no longer use the excuse on the left to justify not buying it. The one on the right almost never occurs.
there are almost a dozen times where i have had to pirate a game because the copy i purchased failed to function. at a certain point you get sick of it and just pirate everything.
a fuckton of indie games a low quality and never deserves any money from me. ESPECIALLY your indie platform and your survival/crafting/early access/open world games
this desu
I don't want to pay for something I can get for free.
If you want a bad company to burn, why even pirate their games if you already know they're shit?
I don't have a grand reason to pirate, it's fucking free games
Plus retro shit is way to expensive and I can use fanpatches to translate or make the game better
These gigantic anti-consumer corporations don't deserve money. Just stating that fact in a sarcastic voice on your chart doesn't make it incorrect.
>neets on 4chin pirate all games
>SJWs pay full price
"waaaah, why do devs tailor to sJWs??? reeeee"
>the reason why I pirate games is because every game I happen to be interested in is made by an extremely scummy AAA publisher
Wow, what a coincidence! It just so happens that every game you're interested in comes from the absolute worst publishers.
I like to try before I buy.
I don't care what it does for the developers. I pirate because the vidya industry has turned into a minefield of half-finished games, cutting content to sell back as DLC, half-assed and dumbed down sequels, corperate meddling and paint-by demographics and series getting the things that made them unique and interesting ironed out to be more like everything else. Furthermore, the review side of the industry is blatantly in the pocket of the major developers and insists on shilling major releases they've been paid to shill while consistently ignoring or failing to appreciate niche and interesting games. There is simply no guarantee I'll be getting my money's worth for any game I buy without playing it first, and I'm not the kinda passive consumer that will just lay down and let people rip me off when there's something I can do about it.
>implying SJWs buy or play games
>Implying I care about the corporate politics at all.
I'll steal digitally if I can steal it, I could care less what you pencil pushing geeks who try to go moralist on Yea Forums of all places says about it either. Digital Piracy isn't grand larceny no matter how you try to pain the image. Musicfags accept and this Moviefags embrace it, so why is it Gaymers get their panties in a knot?
Oh, so you make sure to buy a game if you like it, right?
The only game I didn't pirate in the last 15 years is Sonic Mania. In fact I didn't even buy it I got someone to gift it to me because I think it's a good game and I wanted to support the devs, plus I am fucking poor.
I pirate because it’s free.
Anyone who says piracy is just copying data so it’s not stealing is a little bitch that doesn’t want to admit they’re stealing.
Because companies haven't come up with a gaming netflix
With retro ROMs would be dope af
Why is it always a 2 way spectrum? Why did Lawful-Chaotic Good-Evil die out?
This is the literal, actual definition of a strawman, what you just did. You just made an argument for me and included shit in it that I never said. In your fiction world, I ONLY pirate games and have never bought one.
...
There's another burning question - if you hate a company for its business practices or some other reason, why pirate at all? Because they still might think the game to be fun, right? Or "something to do". But to me, that just feels like they don't really feel as strongly as they believe. It makes me think that if a company they didn't like suddenly made the game F2P (with lots of nickle-and-diming stuff, too), they'd shed those convictions straight away.
Ray Bradbury once said "You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them." The same should apply for games. Pirating bad games or good games from bad companies won't do squat. Why? Because they'll continue to aggressively invest and thrive, because in just a few more years the games industry will be valued at $200B. That kind of momentum can't be stopped with pirating. And the powers that be are NEVER going to make games more consumer friendly because they all decided to do something nice for you after they were sitting around bored one day. You have to speak up, you have to start some kind of group or campaign to give power to people who want their video games to not be sliced, diced, half-baked, or any other sort of junk. YOU HAVE TO FORM AN INTEREST GROUP. It worked for farmers, it worked for social workers, it worked for veterans, it will work for gamers like you.
Piracy is 100% harmless and beneficial to developers. Plus, frequently pirated copies of games work better than legitimate copies, which should never be the case.
Its only okay to pirate 5+ year releases and Nintendo titles since they don't really drop the prices that often.
Actual men understand an honest days pay for an honest days work and don't justify stealing like a faggot
I pirate because I want to.
>SJWs pay full price
>SJWs play
Well three Aussie lads are trying to eke out a fucking living in this “gay world”, putting in hard work unlike yourself, who’s denied them a fair payment for selfish reasons.
>writing this much
based retard no one cares.
This
You people are stupid and pay money for things when they don’t have to
Also I live in Russia so no one cares about pirating
If I play for four-six hours (To make sure content isn't frontloaded to abuse steam's refund policy) and the game doesn't have any obvious money-grubbing practices, seems like it's a coherent, competently made experience, yeah, I generally stop playing there so as not to spoil too much for myself and buy it next payday.
Should have chosen a better business model than selling copies of something I can easily copy myself lmao.
Where's the line for pirating because you're a poor worthless fuck
>liberal vs conservative
wow massive spook
>I live in russia
more like you pirate things because you can't afford games
Call me pretentious duckhead, but in a world where everone has the power to scream something to the entire world with a social media, there is nothing more loud than the silence
Ignoring a shitty company->no free publicity->no money
>honest days pay for an honest days work
yep lemme tell ya it's all about them bootstraps
Because good companies can turn into greedy lazy shitholes fast. Just look at Bethesda. They can also put out bad games that are suddenly subject to a lot more corporate meddling then previous ones. And occasionally, even shithole companies can put out quality games.
I pirate because I don't have either morals or money. I'm never a lost sale because I never buy any games at all. For game devs I might as well not exist. Well, maybe a little, yes, for "exposure".
Good on yah. Can’t wait until games are 100 percent always online because of fucks like you.
I pirate because fuck you.
1) how about you fucking deal with it
2) theft and copying aren't the same to anyone with a fucking brain. theft deprives the original owner of their property.
>implying
I pirate because its free lol
me on the left
Call me naïve, but when shitty company actually makes a good game I want to give them the money more than company I like making another game I like
Doesn't matter much, because 60 bucks are way too much for a college student
I'm Australian and I say fuck em, they were probably on centrelink taking my tax money. Fucking bums.
>Russians are subhumans with no morals or ethics, just like the Chinese
Wow, what a surprise
sounds great
Add Nintendo to the list on the far left, unless you want to justify $60 for a two year old game or 5+ year old port.
Remember when Nintendo was the good guy and would never release DLC?
en.m.wikipedia.org
Except that a copy actually deprives the owner
maybe dumb fuck devs and publishers should stop giving me such easy excuses then
kys moralfags
its not like developers would ever get the royalties they're due piracy or not anyway
is this suppose to be ant-pirate
I don't. I can't remember the last time I pirated a game from a company like EA. That's probably less to do with who makes the game and more to do with everything they put out looking like generic, paint-by-demographics garbage though.
I pirate because people should be allowed to share without it being illegal you corporate bootlicker.
>Citing Wikipedia
Thanks for paying for my living expenses and drug habit, wagie.
Yep, I used to pirate because I had no money since I couldn't work. Now I pirate because I don't give a fuck.
I have about 30 digital and physical games. The most I paid for one was $35, only because it was Collector's Edition. Three others I paid $25 because they had 4 games in a collection and one was GotY.
Every other game I've paid from $0.03 to $20, all new too
Hollow knight is the only game I've ever purchased after pirating
This is the only cool post in this gay thread.
Because that would make you a nigger, you're not a nigger right user? Only niggers do illegal shit.
Hey man, it's your call. If you want games to get worse and worse, keep doing nothing. Just take a lesson from history and see how other groups got wise and worked hard to make things at least more fair or favorable than what they used to be.
Giving a company attention is only considered good if they get more sales. People drew attention to EA's Star Wars Battlefront 2 and their lootboxes and the fallout from that? And how it became so bad that a politician from Hawaii considered introducing legislation to band lootboxes outright? Does that sound like good publicity to you?
Also, it's possible to campaign for a cause without calling out specific entities you consider your opponents. It's that kind of diplomacy that may help your cause instead of being referred to as a bunch of racist/transphobic/misogynist neckbeards. That's why Gamergate failed - the goal was more integrity to so-called "videogame journalism", but instead what happened was that specific individuals were harassed and threatened.
Learn to make your own games. I know that sounds nuts but there's more resources and how-to videos than ever. It might take a lot of time at first, but soon you'll be making simple games to enjoy, or even sell for money so you're not as poor. Reading a page when your four years old sucks. But it's a matter of seconds when you're just a few years older. Same thing with coding, it'll become much faster as you practice.
Anti-faggot
Shouldn't you be in school, kid?
I pirate games to have more money to spend on guns.
I bought FO76 full price. I will never buy another game again.
But I will be playing them. You brought this on yourself cuckboy. You did this, now bend over and pay the price because for every game you pay for, a thousand will be pirated.
i pirate because im not a moneycuck, i couldn’t give less of a shit if a developer goes under or not bc of it, i’m not spending my money on something i can get for free
This is always the reason, all the other stuff is just mental gymnastics so the pirate doesn't have to face the facts.
>I don't care if a developer stops making games I like
???
who cares fuck the system
yep, it might be hard for you to understand but not everyone is a mindless consumer fanboy. if the company goes under then i’ll find a different series to play, most sequels get worse and worse anyway
Day of the rope when
Imagine if every potential employer you went to said that you had to work for them for free. You'd be pissed and say no, but then they'd just laugh at your anger and say "Whatever, my employees get credit working here to buy food and clothes and other essentials on site, maybe you're ungrateful but there's always someone else willing to take your place, so I'm not worried about you turning me down."
Again, this is what companies ACTUALLY used to do before the rise of unions. They could jack up the credit-based items to put employees in debt so they'd have to stay with the company until it was paid. But people did it anyways because they had families to feed.
>people that pirate are probably same people that bitch and moan like pussies when free tuition and universal healthcare is proposed
kek, what a bunch of hypocritical shills
>Day of the rope
>a term used by some of the divided and conquered as they prattle on at each other over inane bullshit topics like gender and race, the woes of which are merely symptoms of our oligarchical society (a society being what we live in)
Plebs are no longer even able to fight back, the media could divert us away from the elite within a day, turning us on each other with diversions and misrepresentations, triggering our overtly tribal instincts like flicking a light switch
...
You're implying pirates don't acknowledge their acts are hypocritical
get nuked
Based complete lack of moral responsibility boomer mentality.
Whatever happened to stealing is wrong?
>inb4 its not stealing
You can spew all the rhetoric you want, but you cannot get around the fact that for every one pirated download, there is one (1) less purchase.
>You're implying pirates don't acknowledge their acts are hypocritical
What's that? nope i don't give a fuck faggot i hope you get your shit stomped in HAHAHA!
Again, it's not wise to argue from that perspective, because someone could pirate a game, play it, and like it so much that they buy AND three copies for their friends so they can all play later. You might scoff at that, but you can't disprove it. It all comes back to copyright infringement and the exclusive right of the holder to control their copyright how they wish for the time they're given. Whether they succeed or crash is on them.
its not stealing
>justifyingfags admitting anything
No, they're fucking retards. At least based freefags admit that they that just want free shit
They've been trying this shit since as early as 2005, and it's been awful every time
I don't care about pirating, do what you want, but don't try to justify it or say everyone should do it. That's just acting like a child.
i'm not anti-piracy but i almost never do it anymore, only if i can't buy a game through steam or whatever
i sometimes even pirated games like bayonetta or the wolf among us, both of which i liked so much that i ended up buying on sale
>being so brainwashed by corporations you are actually proud of paying for overpriced as fuck pieces of software that you could get for free in a single click
the absolute state of western "men"
well i guess you can continue to throw money in the burner so i could continue getting it all for free lmao
everyone should do it
>literally every person who pirates would have definitely bought it if they couldn't have pirated it so easily.
What a fucking moron.
I pirate cause i want free shit don't care.
*dabs on all the moralfags*
your society is literally fucking garbage because that grifting mentality is totalized from top to bottom. I have no sympathy for russians or americans getting fucked by their elites because most of you goons would do the same thing given money and power. anyways, enjoy the vidya ivan
You wouldn't have games to pirate, retard.
We don't have good games anyways retard.
>giving mr. noseberg another 60 bucks that he wipes his ass with, blows on a single breakfast and then again in the toilet on his morning cup of white columbian coffee
nah thanks i'd rather >for free
Exactly this
If you truly believe that, then you must also believe theft is occurring when a person chooses to buy one brand of an item over the other brands. Are you telling us you do indeed think that?
High test
Guess you got me there retard
There'd still free games to play. And already existing games.
Ok retard.
u ok fren?
Oh well yeah I guess justifyingfags but thread shows they're at least a minority
And it's not sensible to acknowledge minorities
Video games and consoles are more affordable than ever given their price and the rate of inflation, but they're still considered luxury items. In 1995, the Playstation launched for $300. That's roughly $500 today. For contrast, the Playstation 4 Pro is selling for $400.
>tfw pirate a game
>tfw haven't committed any crimes
Yes i just jacked off my cat and suck off a flag pole. Next i need to water my car.
Reminder that Yea Forums is literally the only board on the site that cares about justifying piracy. Every other board doesn't give a single shit and just does it.
Hehe you said nigger LOL
What's it like being a poor fag?
I like justifying my huge dong down your mother's holes.
nice meme
Wouldn't know, I don't pay a single cent for vidya after all.
There's a better way to put it:
Gaming is dead, overrun by the mainstream that eats shit and likes the taste of it. Let them take the bill for development of games, enjoy the benefits.
Only support games when they literally could survive with a few thousands more copies sold, and that's it. 2+ mln copies sold, you're a fucking mong for not pirating.
Reminds me of the spastics angry at the RE2r pirates when it sold 4m in a month.
I pirate because I get paid in 3 days but want to play the game now. Except in 3 days i'm already bored of it or have completed the game so I dont buy it anyway and just delete it and move on to watching anime illegally while setting my profile picture and online username to some weebshit.
thats because not everyone is living in a first world and having cushion jobs
i laugh so much when you fuckers cry about your shit jobs paying not enough (mentioning wages that only highest quality professionals make here) and 50% going to rent and food
i live in a best city of a not-so-bad country, average shitjob here pays just about enough to cover renting some tiny shithole and starving to death in it
i can eat decent food for a week or two instead of buying some shitty cinematic shooter
even if i had money flowing out of my ass i would almost never pay for games because i know the value of money and the value of games
the thing is that i am the majority and thats what your stupid moralfags dont get
but those are your money so enjoy your living situation and blow it all you want
I pirate because the game is unavailable for sale or the tech to play it on is outdated and I emulate while owning and actually copy, this is why I support ports.
I pirate because my mommy said if i pirate something everyday she would fuck my brains out and suck my dick deepthroat style whenever i wanted. Cumming inside is great like NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGHHHH!!!
I pirate because I don't like DRM. Why the fuck would I want a game locked to Steam when I can just have the game DRM free?
>oh no what about morals
living a regular life requires doing worse shit than pirating
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as piracy, is in fact, prohibited filesharing, or as I've recently taken to calling it, sharing with your neighbour. Prohibited filesharing is not a crime unto itself, but rather another piece of propaganda of a dysfunctional media industry propagated by publishers and harmful laws like the DMCA.
Many computer users make unauthorized copies everyday, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the act which is widely performed today is often called "piracy", and many of the people who do it are not aware that it is basically sharing information with your neighbour, and not stealing.
There really is piracy, and some people are doing it, but it is just robbery at sea. Piracy is an act of theft: an action at sea in which goods are forcefully transferred from one ship to another. Piracy is important to be aware of, but unrelated to unauthorized copying; it can only occur at sea. Piracy is not normally used in combination with unauthorized copying - the two acts are typically separate. All the so-called piracy on the internet is really just sharing with your neighbour.
Can't talk about the other boards but how are anime now? Filled with moebage? There's a reason for that.
>Wouldn't know, I don't pay a single cent for vidya after all.
>Can't afford a new game while still having spending money, and already paying all the other bills.
Sounds like someone is a poorfag
You can spend extra cash for better shit, like painting your walls over and over again because watching paint dry is better than play turds like Anthem and Apex.
You think piracy has a significant effect on the amount of purchasing patricians? It drains from both pleb and connoisseur alike
I only pirate something if the game isn't available by any reasonable means, or I need to emulate it for some sort of online play (IE: Fightcade, but I also own most of those roms in some legal form anyways, especially if they're by SNK because I want to support devs that still make good fighting games).
where is the part of the spectrum that is;
YOU BUY GAMES USED OR BORROW THEM!
what am i then, assholes...
fucking devs don't see my money and i didn't steal!
I FUCKING WIN
I FUCKING KILL YOUR ENTIRE "ARGUMENT"!
t. nigger
You really have to wonder how much publisher-hired anti-piracy shills are paid in order to be so relentless with their propaganda as they are on this board.
I really don't see any benefits of buying videogames, only cons. I don't even use Google services much, then why should i install something like Steam or chinese Epic Store Launcher?
Nice blogging faggot
I'd put a small dent in EA's or Activision huge profits any day of the week
Fuck capitalism
I pirate games because I don't have enough money to spend on them, if I had money I wouldn't pirate
i only pirate if i can't buy a game digitally, games like Prey 2006 or Wolfenstine 2009 aren't available on steam anymore so my only option is to pirate
Imagine feeling the need to justify piracy to a bunch of Yea Forumsirgins. I don't care who thinks it's justified (or not)
>buyfags slave away for their Jew boss and then fork over their hard earned money to other Jews to play games
>mfw I don't have to pay a single cent
Well you've got me there
>every project once pandered to us
>game industry reached where it was in 2006
>every game now pandered to casuals
>industry experienced a flash in pan boom
>hardcores stop caring about brand loyalty because of appeal to casual
>it's all gone downhill ever since
jeez I wonder why AAA games aren't doing gangbusters without scummy DLC practices anymore.
I pirate because the generation of my parents destroyed the economy and I'm a broke bum struggling to pay the bills.
I'm from Brazil of all places and I pay for may games. I enjoy their work and pay for it, not a big deal.
I don't steal shit because I'm not a commie
I will shamelessly admit that I pirate CAUSE IT'S FUCKING FREE GAMES
I pirate older games made by dead companies. Like fuck I'm giving money to EA for killing companies I like.
Being from the third world, until last gen you pretty much had to pirate or you couldn't play shit cause everything was extremely expensive unfortunately.
Nowadays things got better (specially for PC gamers), so i can at least buy games i truly like. Because of that i learned to stop getting garbage liked i used to and focus on games worth a damn, so i don't even feel like pirating anymore.
I mean, why pirate EA and Ubisoft games? They're garbage. I wouldn't even bother wasting my time with them.
Now, i bought Resident Evil 2, played for 70 hours and had a blast. Currently waiting for Sekiro, and that's it.
Ya'll zoomers need to stop playing every fucking game you see. Focus on what matters and you'll enjoy them much more deeply.

I am taking a principled stand and refusing to buy video games because they are bad and also they are expensive and I don’t have the money.
DOA6 does not deserve $100 season passes.
