Really makes you think

Epic offered to pay for the games for us, how is it hurting them when they gave us the offer?

I know you don't need to go but that doesn't explain why you do.

don't forget half the images on Yea Forums are directly from r/gaming, r/gamingcirclejerk, r/kotakuinaction, or r/gamersriseup

Don't you lot ever get tired from whining about Reddit all day every day?
Good God...

>...
Do you think maybe we as a collective can smell the Reddit on you and your posting. You call a spade a spade when you see it, right?

reddit has been living rent free in Yea Forums's head for literally a decade now and counting

>please be nice to my special corporate overlord

>Double spacing is reddit
>Driple periods are reddit
>Capitalizing the start of every sentence is reddit
>Quite literally everything is reddit
Why the fuck are you all this obsessed with reddit and accusing everything of being reddit? Why do you disregard any post you remotely dislike as a bogeyman website?
It's a fucking infantile disorder.
I just don't get it, man. They never get tired of screeching the same insults, the same bogeymen, the same fallacious arguments. Everyone here is a manchild.

What's really great is retards think that posting the same image macro and saying go back for the 10 millionth time actually works like some redditor is actually going to close the tab and go back instead of mining more salt from someone who is clearly mad

I'm not pirating BL3 to "hurt" Epic.

I'm pirating it because I don't want to use a chinese botnet security risk of a malware spyware launcher that none of my friends use and is so barebones it has zero features.

Doing something to avoid supporting someone is not the same as doing something to hurt someone.

Bravo, poorfags

Go back.

t. doesn't know where to pirate
I've been pirating on and off for well over a decade, hell almost two decades, and literally never, not once, ended up with any virus or malware or trojan.

Think about what you just said and why it's retarded then fucking kill yourself.

Do you hate Israel because it's an imperialist fascist state, or just because you hate Jews and think they somehow control the world?

Piracy is a service problem.
The reason why everyone is pirating Epic's games is because they provide a shit service.

Attached: 1535716416356.jpg (1280x720, 56K)

I guess Steam and GOG are shit services too since people pirate those as well.

I somehow doubt someone with no money has an impact on anything besides their poor parents bank accounts.

Why is epic a shit service? All you do is buy and install a digital game to play.

Because there isn't tracking social media bloatware attached and no profile cosmetics they can buy like on Steam.

I can't wait till next year for the shopping cart update, it's going to be Epic!

Well, yes. No such thing as the perfect service.

>needs a shopping cart at a store that only sells 8 items
rofl

Just stick to food analogies, Brainlet-kun

>No such thing as the perfect service.
>What is piracy?

How is GOG a bad service? They crack all of their games for free and each release contains no malware.

>he doesn't comprehend those companies make the vehicles they sell

Maybe if you guys weren't always so disingenuous you'd be able to form a lasting connection with another human being.
I hope making people on the internet mad is a worthwhile substitute.

Why does that matter?

>What is piracy
Join the botnet and mine bitcoin for the chinese. Sounds like a bad service to me.

>he doesn't comprehend those companies make the vehicles they sell

the dealerships are all franchises. there are no manufacturer owned dealerships in the US outside of some tesla stores. thus most dealerships are selling cars they didn't themselves make just like epic

There is also more than one dealership for each brand in the country.

pirating indeed doesn't hurt epic exclusive developer, cause epic already paid for a minimum sales

Therefore there is LITERALLY no moral reason to complain about piracy of epic games. Devs already got paid.

If this makes you stop and think, you're a sub-Saharan-IQ'd retard.

I can't believe Rene Descartes predicted Yea Forums

But it does hurt them because they have to spend money to hire people like to you to convince others to buy their products using strawmen and other fallacies.

Thanks for the free games btw, and don't forget, The Tiannanmen Square Massacre.

If you knew anything about the laws governing car dealerships and why they are legally backed, and why manufacturers can't sell directly to consumers without using a car dealership, you would be pretty pissed off. Tesla actually got into a legal scuffle over it a few years ago. Use a different analogy.

i pirate because it's free games

Attached: 1508723239405.png (379x364, 57K)

Or you can just pirate it immediately without needing to install more spyware. What's not to understand?

I will pirate Fortnite three times so they lose three times as much money

Pirating doesn't hurt. However, actively choosing to boycott does. And there's nothing wrong with boycotting.

but epic and steam both have free games

>i pirate games
get a job

Literally no one makes this argument, kys cuck famalam

>left is "pirating doesn't hurt anyone"
only copers say this to justify their actions. I pirate because I a) am a poorfag and b) don't give a fuck about publishers in general

sue me.

> Get a job
Like shilling for Epic and it's Chinese botware launcher, Brainlet-kun?

What are you talking about, having a job gives you a greater appreciation for the worth of your money and makes you less likely to spend it on garbage like some spoiled zoomer.

Ebin store has like what 20 games? Steam has thousands of games and also gives you cloud saves, forums, profiles, etc. There's just no reason to use ebin store unless you're a 10 year old and play fortshite.

Take your ching chong scam culture back to China you communist faggot, we like to at least pretend businesses should be accountable here.

>service providers paying content creators for exclusive distribution rights to their content is communist
how fucking retarded are you?

>There's just no reason to use ebin store unless you're a 10 year old and play fortshite.
Or you want to play the other games that are exclusive to epic? Also you're framing this like its an either or decision.

I'd rather pirate those games instead of installing Chinese spyware, but hey you go and be retarded if your want

I'm pirating epic exclusives because I don't want to give epic money, I doubt it'll hurt them. Also if everyone pirated epic exclusives it would hurt them, however that would involve usual non pirates pirating, and as we all know the exception does not disprove the rule

>rights fees
>shady collusion
The majority of games being exclusive to steam without compensation for it is way shadier desu
Also China has its hands in like 99% of our economy, so by that logic the entire western economy is commie

I miss the days trolling was remotely clever before people discovered being retarded annoyed people.
Now retards are housesitting on Yea Forums thinking they're epic trolls it seems.

easy
Pirating hurts the developers and I pirate to hurt epic games.

What's reddit got to do with anything? What are you on about?

I press the third button that says I just want games for free.

Still pirating Chang thanks for the insight tho

>hurr durr backing up save files is hard I need company to do it for me

>pirating doesn't hurt anyone
more like, pirating does not equal stolen goods or a lost sale
>I'm gonna pirate to hurt epic games
No, is "I don't want to buy it off Epic store, so I am going to pirate, and hopefully once is out of it, buy it from another reseller (Gog,GreenMG,Humble,Gamergate,Steam,etc)

There are the pirates and there are the faggots
You are in the latter group

Buying those exlusives on Ebin store is just the same as pirating them, because Ebin store doesn't have one tenth of features Steam has. People who buy games on Steam don't just buy the game, they get a bunch of other useful features too.

Attached: 1534670182561.png (1306x1098, 960K)

Redditors exposed from these replies

Because you can back them up more safely like someone who isn't a moron

Steam already fucks up and erases your saves sometimes

Are car analogies the new go-to defense against piracy?

>Pirating doesn't hurt the developers, it doesn't help them either
>Epic is paying developers money anyway, based on expected sales and market share increase
>They are hurt by piracy as a consequence

OP was a faggot as usual, but today he was also particularly retarded.

>a bunch of other useful features too
Such as? Free bloatware?

If you got time to back up save games for a dozen different game titles, store them on your drive and always be careful not to accidentally delete them, then that's your choice, but some people want to be able to back up with ease and I also cannot be arsed to copy the saves from one computer to another.

It literally takes 10 seconds tops. Hell, you can even spend 10 seconds to automate it to your online or offline hard drive of choice.

The meme is old, but there seems to be a lot more people using them for analogies now.

I mostly just pirate at this point when I don't like a publisher. Has nothing to do with ease of access.

QUESTIONS
I have been in this shithole for 10 and half years now and I keep seeing retards who ask "why this [thing that has been discussed for months and answered multiple times by many websites with even graphs and images for retards]

How do you even remember how to breath I wonder.

Personalized store, market, workshop, achievements, cloud saves etc. Why am I even explaining this shit? Fuck off faggot. If you can't see the benefits of Steam over Epic then you're just retarded.

EGS still doesn't have offline mode though.
The pirated version of a game sold on the EGS will definitively be better because you don't need permission from a server to play it.

>HELP I KEEP WALKING VOLUNTARILY INTO THINGS I DON'T LIKE AND GETTING IRRATIONALLY ANGRY
See a shrink and have sex

What takes 10 seconds? Me copying the saves from one machine and traveling 200 miles to my laptop and pasting it there? Online hard drive? So I should spend money renting a file server which Steam can do for me for free? How do you deal with drive failure? Cry yourself to sleep?

Cause I don't like this idea of people pretending we've now no longer got a monopoly cause of epic exclusives. I rarely buy games on steam, I always get it from key sites or places like that. I can't do that with epic.

>Why is Lurking so fucking hard in this place?
Literally spoonfeeding
If everyone consistently told the niggers to lurk moar and google, this wouldn't happen. But there is always that normie /fit/ard with no chin who spoonfeeds the groids as soon as anyone tells them to lurk moar.

>1 badge and theme being used as sale incentives means features are behind a paywall
sad, Chang. very sad.

I'm not going to lie about why I want to pirate a game and pretend its some moral fucking crusade like the rest of these hypocrites.

>has to assume I am defending Epic to try and make Steam look good
HAHA pathetic

Sounds like you have a hard life. You can literally put it on another hard drive or upload it to any of the hundreds of free online storage services. Literally takes 10 seconds for everyone who isn't you lmao

>they're just sale incentives bro!
Mmm, Gabe, your cock tastes delicious! What should my next talking point be to convince the others not to use Epic's game store, daddy? Shall I remind them of trading cards?

?? no... I was simply pointing out that your attempt to make Steam look bad was blatantly WRONG, Chang. Very sad, Chang!

What does Steam have to do with anything I just said?
Not letting people play games they already bought is some gay shit no matter how you look at it my dude.

Why are pc gamers targeted in anti-pirate corporate shill threads? Consolecucks would pirate just as much if it was as easy and effortless.

What the flying fuck do you think they ARE? They're a fucking meaningless badge and temp profile skin. Why the absolute mother fuck are you pretending they're hiding basic features behind a paywall?

> her
Oh, user..

>Shall I remind them of trading cards?

Let me tell you, It's not just Yea Forums. A general thread on another board I frequented died after couple years because of it.

>mutilated
Why do you think he is american?

>piracy never hurt anyone
Didn't say that. Stealing without repercussions is cool.

Yes, you flaming retard
>before EGS pirates were pirates because they were never going to buy the games anyway, or were trying before they buy
>after EGS paying customers switch to piracy on EGS exclusives, resulting in a lost sale

Self moderation is dead. Nowadays you get banned for it. The Gamergate, fappening and the election also brought a shit ton of newfags here.

I guess at this point the only sensible thing is to go find an actual videogame thread that has not been redone a million times or go play videogames.

Oh and I forgot to mention the shills. They're very much apparent here.

> I'm gonna pirate to hurt-
I just said i am gonna pirate because i dont want to support them ,but sure, don't listen to me..

Yeah, I should definitely upload it manually and NOT let Steam handle it. Ok, retard.
