DO WHAT YOU WANT 'CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE, YOU ARE A PIRATE! YAR - HAR - FIDDLE - DEE-DEE BEING A PIRATE IS ALL RIGHT WITH ME! DO WHAT YOU WANT'CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE YOU ARE A PIRATE!

The problem with this is when you just ring everything into a moral absolute.
>making a backup of a game you legally purchased is just as bad as stealing money from the developer! you need to buy an extra copy anytime you want a backup! >yes you paid money for it, but you're only just renting it. you don't have rights goyim, we can take away your game at any time >refunds? Reviews? forums for technical support? You stupid entitled goy!
And I'm supposed to sympathize with these corporations? Mind you, I don't support piracy, but I'm not gonna be some corporate bootlicker who gives up my rights because a pink haired game developer cried on twitter.

i dont even pirate but i gotta say this seems to be the way to go
except when playing multiplayer games.

How do you keep your pirated games up to date? Do you just have to hope someone uploads the latest patch to TPB every time?

when I was young everyone was ok with pirating, it was actually something cool, I don't even know what happened, the only thing I can think of is the attention you get from someone looking at your profile and see what you are playing and what you are "achieving", which is similar to stream, which I tried some time ago, other than that I really wouldn't know...I also think there's a big chunk of buyfags buying games thinking that would make up for their pedophilia, but seriously you cannot be a cool guy if you pay money for videogames...and oh, maybe people that bought a console and now they have buyer's remorse thinking about how many games he could have played if he built a pc, we should make a thread to try and analize buyfags
John Gomez
Right I'll remember to add battle.net to the greentext when I make this thread again. pretty much
Robert Lewis
Why would you want the game up to date? Is it because it was released unfinished and in dire need of patching? Almost like they sold you an unfinished product? Hmmm....
Mason Morales
Based. There are people on Yea Forums who argue about which store to buy their digital games from.
Epic guaranteeing sales BTFOs this moral argument. If a dev gets mad that I pirated their Epic exclusive, they are hypocrites for claiming it's a lost sale.
TPB lmao, no there are websites with the patch, you simply download it and install it, it takes a whopping 3 mouse clicks, also fitgirl updates her repacks frequently, but that's usually for DLCs, the only game which needs a patch is kingdom come deliverance, it took me 2 minutes or less
thank god Epic is there to guarantee that devs don't """lose"""" sales. Based Tencent funding my piracy.

If everyone became a pirate no new games would get made. Devs are too entitled now. It's not like it was when GoldSrc was a thing and people made their own little worlds just to make sure people have fun. And even back then people would make .wads and little things for free but John Carmack wouldn't do what he did for free. So you're essentially only around because other people still buy. What are you going to do when piracy becomes as common and accessible for games as it is for music right now?
If one truly hates pirates then he should stop buying anything that has to do with videogames, so that developers will go out of business for real and teach pirates a lesson, no? instead you keep buying piles and piles of games with money, which actually is what keeps piracy going and getting stronger and stronger every day...even devs laugh at buyfags behind their backs, which is quite fun, so thanks for buying, otherwise I wouldn't play these many games for free :^)
but still, I have a question for you, why do you keep financing piracy, buyfags? it seems contradictory, or are you plain stupid? you don't have to answer btw :^) keep paying dumbshit :^)
KEEP PAYING FOR MY HOBBY AHAH
James Sanchez
I unironically cant enjoy a game unless it’s a pirated copy i can launch without shitty clients and drm and have an offline backup copy of I even exclusively play pirated copy of games I bough
you don't have the balls to stop buying, thankfully I know your kind
Jose Nelson
consoles are hardware, hooooooo!
Chase Cook
I uploaded a game made by an Yea Forums user to trackers since it seemed like no one else was playing the game. I wonder if his sales increased. You're welcome. If you're an indie dev with no marketing budget and you don't upload your game to trackers yourself, you have only yourself to blame.
Luis Brooks
blue guy is dumb >In the report, data was taken from 2014 and took in to account six EU countries. France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK were all investigated with the illegal consumption of games, music, books, TV and film. The reports main conclusion, however, states that "in general, the results do not show robust statistical evidence of displacement of sales by online copyright infringements." mcvuk.com/no-evidence-that-piracy-affects-video-game-sales-eu-commission/ cdn.netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/2017/09/displacement_study.pdf
I mean *yes* but at the same time no new cool videogames coming out is a shitty price to pay for getting rid of the faggots who take them too seriously. I've pirated plenty of games before you dumb nigger. And at the rate less and less of them are actually good I probably will start torrenting more. At least admit you can't answer my question
Connor Robinson
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELETE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ryder Perry
I have no idea what this is, but the robot (ironically called CFW, kek) is right.
Cooper Perez
Devs can still make games, but we need the billion-dollar tumors to be purged. If I like a game enough, I usually buy it, but pirating is my default choice. For example, Tengoku Cruisin' Mix is fairly obscure and no one uploaded a torrent of it until recently, so I got to try it. I liked it, so I bought it, but no way am I paying $25 to see if I like a game.
you made the wrong question, you should have asked me "what will you do when dev houses will shut down and videogames will become a thing from the past?" and my answer would be "I will shitpost on Yea Forums and get 90% less reddit posters, paid shills, unpaid shills, twitch tippers, e-celeb kids and the old Yea Forums will be back while hiro will commit sudoku and some american will buy Yea Forums and make it great again", also I have a ton of pirated PS2 games to play, it will be a chance to explore them for good and give them the right amount of time

OP is the type of faggot that unwittingly ruins societies. He is the small, little increment who thinks him taking his share, without putting in, will have no effect. He is the small, inscrutable wave in the undercurrent of shit, unwary that it is the attitude he spreads that ruins things. He is the reason that the ghettos and inner city squat dens and decayed metropolises seem to sustain, no matter how much effort goes into solving the one big problem after the one big problem. Just like how that one thief thinks no one will miss one little thing, when his whole neighborhood goes to hell, and soon, the world of thieves is left with even less. You can't steer a million little decisions. As Confucius understood, to truly solve this problem, which this one faggot is only a symptom of, you must reorder a virtuous society. As Christ understood, "He who is faithful in the small things will be faithful in the big things, as well."

Are all of these pirate threads used for justification because you guys all feel guilty for doing it? That's what it looks like to me.
Ryan Howard
The problem is that most people will just pirate totally without buying copies anymore because unlike the music industry, gaming and software industry hasn't really figured out any ways to exploit the audiences made from free content yet. At least not to a sustainable degree. REALLY REALLY REALLY afraid of answering the question. also "the internet will get better and stop having annoying people once there's less content being made it's not like it's the shills, facebookfags and shitters who spend most of their time here to begin would become the only ones here!" simply delusional
John Cruz
But I'm Dutch. Piracy is not a crime here. Keep seething mutt.
>buy product, don't enjoy it >feel scammed, resentful of poor demo/refund practices >pirate product, don't enjoy it >bullet dodged, delete to free space
>buy product, enjoy it >feel extremely lucky, especially when you start approaching games at 60-100 dollars >pirate product, enjoy it >pleasantly surprised, enjoy making a later purchase because you know you are supporting the devs I'm not trying to justify the morality but only one of these scenario's offers the best of both worlds. Pirating cultivates rather than culls, you'd be surprised at the number of people with the basic sense to give money to people who make stuff that they like, even poorfags.
Daniel Rivera
I use these threads to laugh at buyfags thinking they're better than me for spending money on nothing
Benjamin Jackson
Christ ruiend the bread and fish economy when he created a giant pile of both out of thin air.
you literally proved yourself dumb again, also I noticed you carefully steered away from the websites I mentioned, I mean, "facebookfags and shitters", really? you REALLY REALLY REALLY should go back, and stay back, also I will report you for saying the N word previously, you probably couldn't know I'm a man of colour, thanks for buying AND being a racist that will enjoy his ban like a true american hero

I will always pirate games. but the games that matter, the games that I care about? i pay for those

no all the new games would just be always online and f2p gachashit. thing is, that's been happening regardless, almost like an it's inevitability no matter how rampant piracy is or is not

>What are you going to do when piracy becomes as common and accessible for games as it is for music right now? I already just have to hit up cs.rin.ru or igg, and my free game is just a search away Strangely, despite literally all music being on youtube there is more getting made than ever
It's only nintendo onions boys seething hard over piracy Every time they get mad as fuck when we pirate their shit and we get the superior version everytime on every single console ever released And also the fucking cucks reporting piracy to the dedicated nintendo website lmao
