Nothing morally wrong with piracy but shit's for the birds if you don't want to be a cynical fuck about the medium. "I pirated this game and it still felt like it stole my time, that's how you know it sucks" No, you feel like you wasted your time because of the above. Also why you should never, ever listen to someone's opinion on a game if they pirate on a regular basis. A pirate will call everything mediocre/average because they don't care, everything was free and they probably only played it for 10 minutes before getting bored. If a buyer calls a game shit, he's willing to swallow his pride and admit that he wasted money on a thing, so as a whole their opinions are more valuable than someone who just pirates everything.
Be piratefag for years
nice blog faggot
I pirate when it's too expensive, and I'm 63 kg. I enjoy both the games I buy and pirate all the same.
>A pirate will call everything mediocre/average because they don't care
I've been pirating all my life and your statement is wrong.
You don't get it. If a buyer calls a game shit, he's willing to swallow his pride and admit that he wasted money on a thing. A pirate will call everything mediocre/average because they don't care, everything was free and they probably only played it for 10 minutes before getting bored. If a buyer is telling you everything he bought was gold, then yeah you have a rationalization problem, but as a whole their opinions are more valuable than someone who just pirates everything.
I heard from some user that many pirates are comparable to vegans, as both groups keep loudly announcing and boasting about who they are, saying that they are so great and telling everyone else that they are idiots for not doing the same thing, can you prove him wrong anons?
It's weird because when I pirate, I lose interest in the game. But when I buy a game, I'm compelled to finish it. Maybe it's the sunken cost fallacy or something.
I disagree.
I enjoy the games I download.
Sorry you can't enjoy things OP.
Take your fallacy of composition and stick it up your ass.
i have these same problems but i haven't pirated shit
i just have a huge library of unplayed games on steam
I can play through if I actually get started, the only barrier is the "what the fuck do I play", get me 30 minutes into a game and I'm good.
You feel obligated because you paid for it and want to make the best use out of that money.
I don't have a issue with pirating, just don't try to pretend that you're doing it for moral reasons or some shit unless you're the one who cracked the game or something.
No you're just a dickhead. I pirate everything but I don't call everything mediocre or average because I'm not a dickhead. Whether you act like a cunt that cant enjoy things has nothing to do with whether you pirate, it just has to do with of you're an asshole or not.
Which you apparently are.
>I don't have a issue with pirating, just don't try to pretend that you're doing it for moral reasons or some shit unless you're the one who cracked the game or something.
this is a retarded statement
Buyfgs are all mentally ill. Is it not bad enough that the game is robbing you of your time, but you're also paying for the privilege?
Gaming should be like fapping to porn.
You do it stealthily without bragging too much, but knowing full well that everybody does it.
You do it in a timely manner without wasting too much time.
And most importantly you do it for FREE like any sane person.
Go ahead prove me wrong. Pro tip you literally can't buyfag animals.
When did I say in my post that I was doing it for morals? I just pirate when I feel like, and buy when I feel like.
imagine fapping every single day
I feel bored as hell most of the time when pirating games, even more so on PC. At least with consoles it feels a little more earned/comfy but PC is just a snore. I can never experience the same comfortable feeling of playing consoles games with it.
Have you ever considered forming your own opinion on the incredibly vast amount of information and media you have at your finger tips instead of relying on any one person's opinion, buyfag or not?
This isn't the year 2000 anymore. You can learn everything there is to know about almost any game by just looking online. You don't even have to put that much effort into it, the shit's everywhere nowadays.
Does that mean Twitch is gaming's version of Chaterbate?
>EVERYONE WHO PIRATES THINKS A CERTAIN WAY ABOUT GAMES TRUST ME
>I pirate and I don't think that
>NO FUCK OFF YOUR WRONG ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE
Therefore streaming services and television should be free
>Imagine
??????
Disgusting.
You must feel very sad on Christmas.
I need to buy games or I have no motivation to play them and tend to uninstall them immediately.
Or better yet just play the game for yourself and form your own opinion first hand. It's not like you're paying for it anyway so I don't see what the big deal is. Op is a retard.
>A pirate will call everything mediocre/average because they don't care
Nah, the problem is that most things are mediocre/average.
That's sad.
Maybe you don't really like games. Maybe what you really like is buying stuff. Maybe you should buy stuff that doesn't require anything more of you than buying them. Maybe then you will be happier.
That's stupid as fuck OP.
I pirate shit all the fucking time to find out if they're worth buying for real. I don't buy games often because the shit I play isn't worth the money.
I think the real problem today are the lack of demos. Forcing someone to fork over the cash from 'good looking video gameplay' without ever playing the game before buying it is trickery and anti-consumer.
Thanks for proving my point. Pirate's are just cynical jaded assholes who don't even like games or care about them and think they're akin to degeneracy. On the whole their opinions are much less valuable than people who buy games
Again, you are wrong. Paying for a game or pirating it or whatever is the same, how I got to play it doesn't affect my opinion.
I pirated Theresia Dear Emile, I think it's a masterpiece. I paid for Mugen Souls Z (it was digital), it's hot garbage. A friend lent me Disgaea 5, it's boring.
how often do you fap user?
Nah, I've played several games I thought was good over the years, and which I would not hesitate to recommend to people. It's just that most games are pretty average. I'm not biased, because I haven't any economic investment in things like you. It's yours opinion who is less valuable, because having spent money you're more likely to find good in what's really mediocre.
You ever think that you just don't like video games OP?
Games ARE degenerate, imbecile.
All you do in 99% of games is kill people.
I like video games more than pirates because I'm willing to support this industry and not be a thieving piece of shit.
Thanks for proving my point again, incel. Pirates hate video games.
This is why the industry gets worse and worse. Pirate games, then pay for the ones you like. Then games will become better again.
I get that. when you go through so much media you start to see patterns of shit. then you start to hate everything because you can see the cultural and technical flaws in the medium accutely. Do something else dude, get away from the internet
>Again, you are wrong. Paying for a game or pirating it or whatever is the same, how I got to play it doesn't affect my opinion.
That user is wrong but post purchase rationalization is a proven thing.
Spending more money on something doesn't mean you love it more, that's how women think
>This is why the industry gets worse and worse.
Because of pricks like you who don't contribute anything to the industry but think you deserve to have a say about games while leeching off good developers. I don't need to pirate games I don't like to buy the ones I do like because I'm not a selfish pathetic NEET like the rest of you.
>Nothing morally wrong with piracy
kek
Exposing vidya for what it objectively is does not mean one hates it. But yes pirates are more detached, which means they are impartial when it comes to judging games. This is a good thing.
I've paid for every single good game I've played. So I'm not leeching off good developers, no. I also haven't paid all the bad developers, and thus I've done my part for improving the industry. All in all I'm a much more moral person than you. Imagine giving money to some shit developers like Bethesda. You'll only encourage them to make more bad games by doing it. Every moral and upstanding person does what I do.
>Spending money to support the people who worked hard to develop the things you enjoy doesn't mean you care about it more than the ones who steal it
This is how a n***er thinks. Do pirates think people just work for free? No wonder gamers are entitled as fuck.
what's this from?
>If a buyer calls a game shit, he's willing to swallow his pride and admit that he wasted money on a thing, so as a whole their opinions are more valuable than someone who just pirates everything.
And this is where you are fucking wrong kiddo. Buyers keep seething over decades because someone got away without paying for shit, because they made steps to prevent it and because they were aware it has very high potential to be trash.
Your opinion as a buyer doesn't have any value at all, nobody cares, you lost $60 and you still mad about it if the game is shit.
If the game is good pirate will be one of the first to buy it and you are just fucking sheep go eats shit on silver plate.
I don't have a issue with pirating, just don't try to pretend that you're doing it for moral reasons and that you're not just a thief badmouthing good developers like Bethesda
>pride in buying things
get a refund and fuck off
what a shit thread
But I am doing it for moral reasons. Buyfagging is highly immoral. Also, Bethesda is not a good developer, as everyone knows.
Cry all you want, faggot, I'll be enjoying my copied 1s and 0s.
Enjoy your Bitcoin miner
>Willingly play a game
>Its robbing you of your time
Are piratefags incapable of NOT playing games?
Reminder that anyone, ANYONE, who comes in contact with a virus from pirating on the modern Internet is a braindead retard. Get fucked.
>incapable of NOT playing games?
this is Yea Forums
That's true though.
>Exposing vidya for what it objectively is
That's a funny way of saying shitposting about vidya you haven't played for more than 10 minutes and thinking your opinion matters
yea spend more money on something doesn't mean you care about it more they are Non-Exclusive.
A poor person can love video games more than a rich person who can afford to spend more money, dumb brainlet.
Buyfags are deluded lost souls
Poorfags shouldn't be even playing video games, they should get a job and contribute to society in order to afford it. Video games are a luxury, not a right.
Pirates are the n***ers of the industry and I can't wait until laws are updated and you NEET losers are thrown in jail
>G-guys trust me. I love these games too, but I can’t afford to pay $10 on steam games! Honest
This image will always be relevant.
>gaming should be like fapping to porn
and feeling just as soulless too, I suppose? The modern AAA environment must be your dream come true
Bitching 24/7 won't stop me from hoisting the sails, faggot. I'll pirate on a whim and buy on a whim and there's nothing you can do about it.
>This image will always be relevant.
Yes.
See
even if a poorfag got a job, a rich person could still buy more games than him. retard.
>loving something = buying shitty indie games
you must be a shill or retarded
>oh so you want a compensation for your game?? HAHAHAHA fuck off retard your product is infinite so i'll just copy it and i don't care if you spent time and effort developing it :)
indeed, nothing immoral about it
Buying games on sale is no different than pirating in the eyes of your average buyfag on 4channel.
If you don't buy games for full price on release in the first two weeks you are literally no better than a pirate
there's nothing wrong with it no matter what you say. According to you if you don't preorder the super special edition with cheap chink toys you're an evil person. Because buying the game isn't enough. You have to love handing over your money. You have to be a blind, idiot, consumer who eats up any garbage with the right logo stamped on it. But you dress it up as moral panic over piracy. You speak of parasites while wanting companies to have a parasitic relationship with their host consumers. You probably love lootboxes too you fucking faggot. You're a corporate sycophant and there's nothing more deplorable than that.
>Bitching 24/7 won't stop me from hoisting the sails, faggot. I'll pirate on a whim and buy on a whim and there's nothing you can do about it.
Piracy is theft
Yeah, I'm COPYING it. They aren't losing shit. Why aren't you going after shit like G2A where the devs' you fellate so often are being put down due to how ACTUAL money is being lost off shady key sales rather than bitch about how someone who probably wasn't going to buy it anyway copied some 1s and 0s?
>perfectly replicating something = stealing it
?
imagine feeling this entitled to experience someone else's work for free when they ask you for a compensation for the time, effort and creativity they had to put into it.
if you want to pirate so badly then go ahead, but at least buy the game if you end up liking it.
just play arcade games
Because he doesn't actually care about muh development time. He's just pissy that people get to play games he paid for for free.
but i do, just not all the time
>imagine feeling this entitled to experience someone else's work for free
Imagine thinking this is even a counter point when you are literally not entitled to good games for your money.
There is no right or wrong way to sell video games. These companies only exist to maximize profit and shareholder value, not to make good games. There is no integrity, morality or ethical consideration to it. So why should we the consumers be expected to adhere to some moral or categorical imperative to not pirate while these companies get a free pass to act amorally in pursuit of profit above all else? I have just as much of a right to act in self interest as these corporations do.
Don't pretend you suddenly give a shit about ethics when the response to companies doing unethcal shit is "don't like it, don't buy it". Then you get mad when people follow up on it, because ultimately you only care about people getting games for free.
Already told you. You dont even need to pirate a game to know what It will be like. Most games I decide to buy/pirate I end up liking because I knew what the fuck I was getting. You are just a baiting faggot go home.
>You don't even need to play a game to know if it's good or bad
Yes retard, Why do you?
How do you form an opinion on something without experiencing said thing? Going off the subjective consensus?
Holy fuck kill yourself
who said I formed an opinion. I just know what to pursue and how to enjoy myself.
You first brainlet
Nah fuck moral niggers, I downloaded HM2 3 days ago and finished it today.
I had good fun
Meanwhile Berseria has been on my pc for over a year already
