Why does Yea Forums get so butthurt about pirating?
It doesn't make any sense

Yea Forums is flooded with shills and failed game devs who want to blame pirates for their incompetence

fpbp

Current Yea Forums believes that piracy led to the downfall of single player games.

Who the hell does that? People like to shit all over launchers but whenever someone brings up pirating people usually either don't reply or tell him that hes based.

It's not about the pirating, it's about pirate being obnoxious fucking retards who also seemingly get butthurt when they're called poor and whatnot, see OP

Of course it makes fuckin sense it's a bunch of obtuse cuckholds who take everything way too close too heart

Because 99% of the time pirating television/anime/etc. is the only time you can watch it at your own pace rather than just when a streaming site or cable tells you. Games are not like this, so while pirating from EA or AAAs are fine, there is usually no good reason to do so with smaller companies unless they are massive cunts who deserve it or they have very unfair prices.
t. Only pirates h-games and anime

Because here, unlike other boards, piratefags play the higher moral ground when they obviously don't have it. Instead of admitting they pirate because its free and they can get away with it, you hear stuff like "I don't like the devs"/"game its too expensive"/"I'm only trying the game, If i liked it I will buy it".

this. also people who are anti-piracy are usually false flags or baits

Didn't you see the Sekiro thread. It's almost hilarious

I don't pirate gamesExcept some nippon lewd games that you cannot buy in west tho, only anime.

I do it because it's free yeah man, almost felt bad... until I realized the gaming industry is packed with kikes

>until I realized the gaming industry is packed with kikes
Literally "I don't like the devs"/"game its too expensive"

its obviousSoyny hates piracy

Trying the game is perfectly valid. It's not a comic or a movie that is guaranteed to work the same on any device. And unless you want your money forever locked to the steam wallet, refunds take time.

Pirates are like the vegans of video games but instead of doing something good, they are breaking the law

If its bad then why bother pirating it

oh shit an MSPaint strawman comic.


You win user

i dont pirate my games because i have disposable income and find it easier to buy the game instead of search for a working torrent, crack, or keygen.

m8 if you are a poorfag but ahead and pirate, don't pretend to be some sort of agent of justice

those are perfectly valid reasons.

>piracy will kill the industry
video game industry is already dead and it has everything to do with how profitable and large the market is, absolutely nothing to do with piracy or lost sales. so I guess if piracy truly hurt the devs and publishers video games wouldnt be copy paste dlc cashgrabs and the industry would be in a far better state.
antipiracy fags btfo

Feeling entitled to something without paying is for niggers.

>year after year of record profits
>p-please stop hurting us with your piracy!

What moral ground? Are you retarded?
I literally pirate to pay after I'm done with the game if I liked it, making it more of a donation to devs I really like.
No I will not pay in advance for games that are marketed fraudulently and without demos.
I've bought over 10 games this year with this very method, never I would've bought those games if I didn't pirate them first.

It's just buyfags getting butthurt when someone got something for free that they paid for.
Paying for games is nothing but charity

I pirate everything even free shit fuck you i take what i want when i want bitch!

Yea Forums is the most cucked board on Yea Forums

Feeling entitled to scam your costumers is for jews.

i never paid a single dime for games lmao

might is right
theres your justification for piracy, and slavery

You're talking as if you have to have those games. You don't so you do some gender identity tier gymnastics to justify having something and not paying for it.

>Want game
>Check game
>Mm not enough info, I don't wanna get jewed
>Pirate
>Play 2-3 hours
>Like the game a lot
>But it

Not that hard, not mental gymnastics required, just stop being a pussy faggot company dick sucker.

You're talking as if devs have to have my money. You don't so you do some gender identity tier gymnastics to justify getting money with some low tier cashgrab.

Because most other boards just put up the threads about pirating and maybe the occasional "Guess I'll pirate this" comment. No threads laughing at buyfags for being buyfags because there needs to be a balance of both. If everyone was a buyfag, companies would just roll over people. If everyone was a piratefag, no company would have an incentive to make anything. It's retaining the perfect balance is what keeps things moving.

>Want game
>Check game
>Mm not enough info
This is how its always been. Part of the drive home manual flipping is to make sure you didnt buy something shit.

>Play 2-3 hours
>Like the game a lot
>But it
People say this but I bet they've only gone onto purchase

/m/ doesn't pirate anything anymore now that we have SEA releases in English, you dirty scum.

>You're talking as if devs have to have my money
Well yeah, thats how a capitalistic society works.
Keep trying with the mental gymnastics, commie.

well you see, when anons try to defend their game and say it's good because it's fun, they get rightfully shit on because good =/= fun.
In the same vein, games which are bad but fun are still worth a pirate, since you get all the fun with none of the sting of spending your money on yet another predictably broken and soulless AAA game

I pirat because i no longer support the cancer that had bcome the gaming industry and the new trend of games as a service shit, im done giving money to the fucking greedy kikes and marxists that instead of trying to produce good content they produce garbag contet while claiming thát it is benifitial to the playerbase, do you people even understand why they are making ugly characters instead of good looking ones.? They will claim that they do it because they dont want to objectify women or make soft core porn but in reality its because ita easier to make ugly characters.

You know a post is right when it doesn't have many replies.

I'm asking for your money, now you HAVE to give it to me.

I've bought games on sale which I'd already pirated and played through completely even If I don't expect to play it again

>try to pirate
>internet provider says no
>stop pirating
can't refuse because they're the only one in this area. shit's fucked.

>pirating new games from smaller devs who could use the money is wrong
I understand why people get up about this. They would like to be paid, and even if you think it's a donation, it's always nice to show appreciation for someone's hard work. They could've put in some cancerous DRM, but the good devs often won't. The ones that outright put their games on GOG should be commended for it, not punished. If you want to pirate still, go ahead, but I'd be more than happy to support them.

>pirating games from massive publishers who are greedy assholes is wrong
This I also understand. Why would you even let their disgusting casual garbage onto your computer in the first place? If the company is one you hate, you wouldn't want to play their games.

>demoing a game that has no demo is wrong
This is where I must start disagreeing. My 60 dollar purchase needs to be validated before I make it permanent. "b-but you were never gonna buy it anyway" yeah and you were never gonna give me a finished product if you thought you could get away with half-assing the job. So don't sass me.

>emulating older games, backing up your games, making archival copies, emulating games no longer sold is wrong
I have to heavily disagree with this. From a legal standpoint, it shouldn't hold up in court because the law dictating it has been influenced by money, and what used to be a 20 year copyright law has now been extended to over a century, thanks to Disneybucks. Any law that can be influenced by money or greed is not a law worth following. Morally speaking, companies lose zero dollars if I emulate Lufia, Lunar, Skies of Arcadia, earlier Tales of games, or etc. So what is the quarrel?

I have a product I wish to sell. You HAVE to give me money before it can be handed over. Kthnx commie.

Cool, the devs get 30% of that $2 steam sale price.

>Le straw man comic

Hey if people pirate your games, you lose money.

Your product only has a couple of parts i want. You are not offering them individually. I'm not going to pay full price for that. Might as well get it for free because i can.

>Cool, the devs get 30% of that $2 steam sale price.
Well that's how it would be regardless of whether I was able to pirate it beforehand, so nothing changes
and this unironically, game devs nowadays advertise and pander to people who don't even play vidya, then they wonder why it doesn't sell like they wanted and why their former fanbase don't like it

Becouse people who are passionate about games generally speaking wants what is best for games and the people who make them. Sure if you want to pirate some shitty ea title go for it, but denying a pay for a job very well done is about as degenerate as letting bunch of niggers to fuck your wife.
Pirates clearly don't give a fuck about the hobby that Yea Forums in theory should give a fuck, you have to be retarded to expect acceptance when you shit at the thing people here like. So fuck off.

Speak for yourself faggot

Yea Forums here, nu/tv/ is filled with redditors who have no idea how to even pirate and just use Netflix.

Sorry sonny but if you want a 2jz in your new supra you gotta buy the new supra as it is and do whatever you want after.
Now keep crying commie.

>I am silly!
You've convinced me OP

>This is how its always been.
Maybe for those born this century zoomie.
We used to have demos, proper reviews, and mostly games used to be done with passion and not only with a profit in mind.
Anyway cuck I hope you don't spend too much of your daddies credit to buy games you'll never play.

>People say this but I bet they've only gone onto purchase

Pirating is in most cases easier than buying. I usually get higher download speeds with torrents than with steam too.

I don't believe you.
I use Netflix daily but I know my way around torrent sites.

Poorly phrased but still underrated

Because piracy is platform exclusive.
If you own a Sony TV, you can still watch pirated content on it compared to a Philips TV.
If you own a Sony Console, you can't enjoy pirate content in the same way a person who owns a PC can.
So some niggers are bitter as fuck.
