There has to be a valid reason, right? I mean in other boards outside of individual posters who'll encourage you to buy the content (and usually it's for niche content) nobody gives a fuck. But here it's like you're raping a little girl in public when you say you pirate games.
Why? Why are things this way?
t. dumbass
Because pirating is based but also cringe when you think about it.
Yea Forums is full of actual company shills
because it triggers you retards to create these whiny threads over and over
Because pirating from fellow nationals is bad,
but pirating from foreign faggots is just political acquisition.
A mix of redditors, trannies and zoomers. Doesnt help that videogames are the lowest form of entertainment after tv.
Literally none of the other boards care about pirating software or entertainment.
because its asshole pirates that are the reason we get nickel and dimed by microtransactions
dont @ me either, I don't need some incels mental gymnastics or some retard posting an EU study they never read
This but i would go as far as to say that you should avoid pirating from your nation's closest political allies.
>because its asshole pirates that are the reason we get nickel and dimed by microtransactions
>he believes this
Doesnt happen in literally any other medium tho. Series are pirated, mangas are pirated, books are pirated, creation software are pirated, tutorials are pirated, movies are pirated, music is pirated, comic books are pirated.
The sad state of your medium cannot be attributed to piracy.
know this, it's no joke. they pay for mod protection
80% of this board are shills and they do it for free, you tell me. The other 20% are console only peasants.
Piracy is for losers. Just wait for sale.
I don't think the board in general is.
I think it's just memes, and shills.
Some reasons for the apparent or actual anti-piracy on Yea Forums
>Lots of console gamers, Piracy is seen as a PC thing, so shitting on it is a way to shit on PC gamers. Anti-piracy is a proxy war for the console war.
>Actual shills.
>Old people who started browsing and don't get it
>Very young people who have brought up in the nu-order
i wouldn't say im PRO piracy but im not against it. im a lot more picky about when i spend money on games these days and time spent. only games i pirated were ones that you cant buy anymore, or the pirate version runs better than the retail version.
i will say i wouldn't have bought insurgency if it wasn't for my buddy and i playing a pirated version at his house. ended up loving it.
off topic but i got a off brand power brick for my laptop cause Asus doesn't sell replacements for older models and my laptop has been shocking me now.
Seething.
Keep paying for my games, goy. Thank you for your service.
Because piracy is for niggers.
Are you a nigger?
Unlike pretty much every other industry, direct sales are the only source of revenue for good games.
Piracy is a necessity though.
>There has to be a valid reason, right?
Redditors, shitposters and shills.
Absolutely this.
100% correct. Seriously, no fucking joke.
Yea Forums is shill city
>pirate fags come in bragging how poor he is while acting smug
>why do you hate us? :(
I wonder why. I don't think I've seen a single thread people pretending to feel superior over the products aside from denuvo shitposters and falseflaggers.
>He didn't spend his money on a digital game
>He must be poor!
Paypig cope.
*squirts* on ur face
now what bitch?
Why is it yelling at me
Fucking based
Yea Forums is filled with normalfag bootlickers that think those giant faceless corporations are their friends
Because game companies do shill more in online gaming forums, and Yea Forums ends up on their list of forums to shill.
Pirate by reference and pirate by value
Learn the difference causal
It demands more human semen
I'm not poor, and that is in part thanks to the fact that I don't spend money on video games
Shhills.
Unironically because Yea Forums has a disproportionate amount of literal paid shills influencing the board.
Now why this is the case here on Yea Forums in particular I don't know. But it is undoubtedly the case.
because the vast majority browsing this board now is people young enough to be familiar with the internet but raised in an era of censorship and virtue signalling.
also corporate dicksucking
This. If they just discussed the games no one would even know the difference, but pirates never shut the fuck up about the fact they got a game without paying for it. No one wants to listen to bragging in the first place, nevermind about something so inane.
>waaah why do people hate me
You sound like the shoplifting rings on tumblr, fuck off
>implying I don't discuss games on the private tracker I'm on
stay SEETHING goy
I guess those $20 really add up.
I believe in paying people for their work, simple as that.
However, I also acknowledge that game devs are rarely paid fairly, so I also support unionization and more ethical treatment of devs
>not spending your hardly earned ducats on rum and whores
>If they just discussed the games no one would even know the difference, but pirates never shut the fuck up about the fact they got a game without paying for it.
Maybe pirates do sometimes shut up about that, because as you say, you'd never know the difference.
lol
This board is a Christian board, and piracy is Christian.
Since the top image is fine, why don't you post a copy of your ID, driver's license, and credit card?
Pirates are thieves, fuck this criminal naggers.
>Jesus distributed the bread and wine to hundreds of people
Jesus was a based seeder. I wonder what his ratio was....
Don't steal bois)
Underaged userbase, rabid company and brand loyalty that doesn't exist with other industries the same way except for like Apple fags.
If you pirate games or something else then you are poor and can't afford this, that means you should be shamed for that because all poor people are stupid
>What do you guys think of this game?
>Day one pirate xdxd
Yeah nigger, I wonder why.
I don't care about pirating but I don't pirate because it's much less hassle using my credit card. I can get that damn game with just a few clicks.
>Pirates of any other things are normal people
>Pirates of videogames are BR's,niggers,manchilds and subhumans who sperg about it
There
Paying for streaming anime does nothing for the industry, buying a 5 dollar keychain of your favorite show supports it more than years of subscriptions fees.
Movies are cheap, pirating instead of paying for a 5 dollar digital rental or 10 dollar Blu-ray release isn't worth shit to the company in the long run.
Individual games are many magnitudes more expensive than other entertainment and that, plus some industry propaganda for guilting, has convinced people that their 60 dollar purchase of a AAA game that sells many millions of copies means anything. For niche titles I'll concede, a 10-100k selling titles getting your 60 bucks does matter, not even just the cash part but the fact it shows the market for their game is there, for AAA trash that doesn't matter at all.
*hacks console*
devil's advocate here.
you can also blame the whales on their frivolous spending and overall being loose with money that encourages these shitty practices.
But I dont get the income. More like it destroys the income, in which case it would be vandalism or something like that. Cannot be theft if Im not getting the income I steal from the creator
...
There are indie movies too.
Fun fact - piracy itself is not a crime.
You just get a free game and play it.
However, cracking a game is a crime, violating it`s license agreement.
Picking up a dollar bill from the street is not a crime, breaking the ATM is.
However, corporate shills want to make end users criminals.
>buy physical
>also pirate games intead of buying digitally
I wonder how much the HOME threads are paying.
