He pays for the right of having access to 1's and 0's

You know those people were already payed, right? The only ones who get your money are the capitalist pigs owning companies.

How many of those mega man 3 devs do you think honestly give a shit some kid pirated it 30 years later.

>he exchanges money for goods and services

>he pays for digital DRM ridden shit that can be revoked at any time

>but it's a cancer that metastasized because of piratefags
funny because it only metastasized after the release of new gen consoles, ie when denuvo appeared and games stayed uncraked for 6 months to a year, also piracy on (non intendo) consoles is basically irrelevant and it's the same BS there too, so piracy isnt really an excuse.
on PC quality of ports didnt go up and prices in europoors increased from 49.99 to 59.99 despite all the extra sales denuvo was supposed to bring.

vidya is one of the only "professional" software product left that isn't behind a licensing scheme

probably because video games isn't professional software.

People that pirate are NEETs, of course they don't know the value of work

Do you know what NEET stands for?

oh no no no.
>inb4 b-b-but that's adobe, not games!
this is the future of gaming as a service.

Why is it okay to steal digital goods but not physical goods?

the pieces are already in place, every game comes out on steam or origin or some other distribution service, all they have to do is lock the distribution service behind a licensing scheme

>Earn money
>Wasting it on vidya of all things
>When you can get the same product for free without going to jail nor damaging someone.

You are the one who doesn't know the value of the money, privileged scum.

Because "stealing" digital goods is more like copying instead of stealing.
It's kinda like going to your local supermarket and instead of stealing a product you scan it and take it home to 3d print it instead. The supermarket didn't really lose anything, since you can make the argument that you wouldn't have bought it if you couldn't copy it.

the only real form of wealth is time

Infinite supply.
If there was a machine to magically duplicate products on real world, wouldn't you use it?

>they were played already lmao money just comes out of thin air

So you'd prefer I put up the credits of something that came out yesterday? That's fine.

Man it's not even like I haven't yar har'd before but the only nobility in piracy is when you're the Robin Hood who cracks it, everyone else is a bottom feeder who doesn't deserve to be smug about it in the slightest.

>he pays for access to simple proteins and carbohydrates

>they were played already lmao money just comes out of thin air
Nice strawman but how do you think games get made before people buy them?

>vidya is one of the only "professional" software product left that isn't behind a licensing scheme
not only they're behind a licensing scheme but for being non-commercial-use software they have one of the worst
>Why is it okay to steal digital goods but not physical goods?
if all or most physical goods were like pic related I'd tell you to steal them from the store

>not fasting all year
not gonna make it

and if nobody paid for them once they were out how do you envision more being produced?

This is a retarded take when you consider there wouldn't be a piracy scene with only crackers and none of the "bottom feeders" to distribute or host it.

>he doesn't repeatedly scramble his HDD with a magnet until the 1s and 0s randomly align themselves into the ultimate GOTY that only he gets to experience

There will always be tons of dumb drones buying the games, don't worry about that and enjoy the ride.

Nice moving the goalposts but you didn't answer the question. Do you think devs don't get paid until after a game releases?

>He pays for molecules

ya it sucks bro i couldn't pay for the food season pass this year

i dont give a shit
they are not entitled to my money

>ITT: retards failing to understand that developers get paid no matter how the game does, it's just the publisher who is dependent on sales
>inb4 b-b-b-but what about indie developers?
fuck indie developers and their shitty pixel bullshit, maybe they should develop some actual skill and work at a real company.

the insane thing is, this is actually possible. someone could be sitting on the best selling game of all time that they didnt even have to make.

But you can't get those proteins and carbs for free tho.

>fuck indie developers and their shitty pixel bullshit, maybe they should develop some actual skill and work at a real company.
This is retarded despite the rest of your work being correct.

ya you can bro you can just pirate it from the supermarket bro

how?

Bring a black friend

Wait, are you saying you have a magical duplication spell? Care to share, bro?

we're talking about pirating

are you implying black people can't be pirates?
this is a blue board, take your ads-unfriendly bullshit out of here.

food stamps are free

Apparently black people do

what do you play your games on if you dont buy a computer, console, or handheld?!?!?!?!?

>not visualizing what you think a certain game would play like in your mind
the only way to truly experience a game.

>Using black magic

Genius, why didn't I think about that?

They can't take away your hardware, tho.
