Whats wrong with pirating?

>Also people spend a lot of time making things and you getting it for free without their permission is just wrong morally.
About this, I am a doctor myself, i put the effort of 8 fucking years of studying bullshit and i still have to keep studing to not forget stuff, yet I don't lose my shit when people decide to go to someone giving free consultation or even looking for remedies themselves. In fact, i would support a basic user friendly medicine guide for common problems and infections that people would use for free.

nothing, the devs and the publishers already have more than enough money from the people who buy it.

>hurr durr that still doesn't mean it's good

shut the fuck up retard, to make pirating look like it's making people loose money is like saying squashing a bee is causing global warming.

Sure you are mr neet

But in your analogy people at the free clinics would be receiving a different. restricted service. Which would be analagous to f2p, demos and free online games. If they want full AAA medicine, they need to pay for your services.

My services are trash though.

The whole point of intellectual property is to reward the inventor for its invention, otherwise there would too little effort to create new stuff in certain areas (e.g. why spend millions in a new medicine just so my rival can copy it & free ride on me?).

So piracy is bad for the inventor & has makes them less likely to want to create new stuff. However, people often forget that IPR is meant to be only temporary. Industry lobby has made it so IPR laws last too fucking long (which can even curb the innovation since the inventor with monopoly rights has less incentives to innovate). Also comparing it to stealing is just retarded, since these 'rights' do not hold any moral value.

Thus, there's literally nothing wrong with pirating if they're old games. Also there's nothing morally wrong with piracy in general. It's just like bargaining. You do your thing and they do their thing. There's nothing wrong with consuming pirated goods & nothing wrong with devs trying to make piracy harder.
And least but not least, while IPR makes sense for certain industries like pharmaceuticals, it's much less clear the benefits of IPR laws in the cultural industry. Do we need a new Mario game every year?

its ok if its an ebic exclusve, they already got the comfy fortnite bucks so they dont lose anything if you pirate

Forgot to add: if IPR are too strict, they can also make innovation less likely because imitation is part of the innovation process too. They have to be just strong & long enough to give a proper reward to the inventor. Anything beyond that makes piracy perfectly justifiable.

I don't know. I'll continue pirating though because I like free games.

>Do we need a new Mario game every year?
Sure. Familiarity is good for business. Most consumers aren't early adopters and pioneers and it's a bigger risk to promote new IPs than to expand established ones.

Nothing, it's not like these people were ever gonna pay for games in the first place. I still buy games though, even though I'm poor as fuck without a job. I like supporting devs, and I honestly would have much less motivation to play if I didn't pay for it.

Nothing.
The only thing that's wrong are the "moral piratefags" which try to push some kind of mental gymnastics of morality to justify their piracy.
Just fucking pirate your game, enjoy it and shut up

Literally nothing.

All I'm hearing are excuses for why I'm not allowed to share or own things anymore. Fuck off.

Then let Tim Sweney get the game exclusive for epic so he pays for your copy.

My only real problem is the faggots who pirate and then don't shut the fuck up about it, like they have to constantly justify it to themselves.

Otherwise do whatever the fuck you want. I'd prefer if you purchased games you wound up enjoying so that the devs could make more, but I can't force you.

Software requires time to create. People who create quality products cannot spend their time unless financially supported. Piracy creates a niche of consumers who do not financially support quality products. Pirates must come up with an alternative way to support the creation of quality products or quality products will cease to exist.

Here are a list of ways to support developers while pirating.
1. Use piracy as a way to try games. Buy the game for access to multiplayer, updates or just because you like it a lot. This system used to exist for demo disks.
2. Donate money directly to the creators. Pirate games you have donated to. This system works similar to kick-starter or patreon.
3. Promote games you pirate to people willing to pay for them. This system already exists for youtube and twitch influencers.

Nothing. I love free games.

I'm under no obligation to support anything nigger.

Then you're a leeching piece of shit, honestly.

If I bought it, it's mine and I can do whatever I want with it. If I want to copy & distribute what I bought, for free, to other people, that's only my problem. And receiving a gift from other people can't possibly be wrong either. Ergo, piracy is not wrong. If you're going to sell something that can be easily copied, do it at your own risk.

you wouldn't steal a car

I'm bored. What are some good games to pirate?

I mean if it were as easy as pirating, sure I would.

Are you creating a product to make money, OP?
Imagine that you & your team create a product to make a living, and instead of receiving something in return for your work, you get NOTHING. :)

Anarchist retardist

If everyone pirated, devs would pivot to making GaaS and online games

No, if everyone pirated, developers would CLOSE THEIR DOORS BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET MONEY

>wasting your time doing that instead of just buying credit card details off the dark web and committing shopping fraud
The nerve of these idiots.

>Imagine that you & your team create a product that can be easily copied and then get butthurt because people are copying it
That's like putting effort to build a sand castle and then get mad that the wind, water or whatever destroyed it.

Whats wrong withe sneaking into the cinema? They're going to show the movie either way.

>Imagine opening a shop that can easily be robbed with a gun and then get butthurt over being robbed

>buying a product, copying it & giving it to someone else is the same as getting a gun and robbing a shop

Nothing wrong with pirating. What I do hate now is pirating having some form of meaning i.e. sticking it to the corporation or preserving digital media. I remember when I just pirate to play games for free, none of this ethics shit.

Because when you pirate a game the CEO of a multibillion dollar corporation cries because he won't be able to store an additional 60 dollars in an offshore bank account that he'll never ever be able to spend because he already has so much money

>Soend months making your greatest piece of art, your magnum opus
>Decide to sell it
>Have it displayed in a store
>Some guy comes in, waves his hand over it, and a second identical copy appears next to it
>He picks it up and gets ready to leave
>”Um sir, I spent a lot of time making that art, if you could pay me in some way for the effort I would appreciate that”
>”PFFFT ITS JUST A COPY DONT WORRY ABOUT IT FAG IM JUST GONNA HANG IT UP IN MY LIVING ROOM ITS NOT LIKE I WAS GONNA BUY YOUR SHITTY ART ANYWAYS PFFFT”

When will this meme end

Devs don’t make money from the games, the publishers do. The devs are paid up front with salary to make the game and then the publishers take all the profit from sales. Only devs who self publish see the money from sales and most devs aside from super small indie devs self publish.

You can find a picture of 99% of famous paintings on google images you fucking ham

Sometimes they can contain malware or virus.
That's literally it. That's the only bad thing.

The only way you fuckers can convince me that there is anything sligthly WRONG with pirating, is if you pirate really good but niche INDIE games, like idk Valdis Story or similar.

But big games, like Assasin's Creed? Fucking pirate that shit, you turboniggers.
The producers (programers) already get paid before they create the product, those are big AAA companies for fuck's sake, holy shit. The programmers ARE paid already, when the game releases.

The only ones who base their money on the sales are the upper executives and the people who receive the end-benefit of the product. And if the game flops, and the company gets 0 money, who the fuck cares? Only the idiots in the upper branches get affected due to their loss and failure - A programmer can ALWAYS find other jobs, especially if they have experience on their resumé.

Now, let's go 1 step further, because niggerjews will criticize me: What do YOU do to help those companies, you fucking faggotsexual?

You buy games at release for full price, plus every DLC, plus do you tip the company 40% for every purchase?

NO? You don't even buy merchandising? You actually wait for Steam sales to pay 6$ for the whole Borderlands collection?

Then WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPORTING? Who the fuck do you think you are supporting with 6 filthy dollars, you bronx retard nigger?

Do you think you are better than "an evil pirate who steals and doesn't pay" when you fucking wait a minumum of 5 years to purchase a game? Do you fucking think the developers were waiting all those 5 years, those +1800 days for your shitty 6 neetbux to make it to them?

Fucking retards, all those who criticize pirating videogames or other form of media.

The ONLY ones damaged by pirating are indie developers who have jack shit fame (but have quality products) and the actual pirates, who risk both their computers to virus/malware.

found the idiot.

"If everyone pirated, there would be no games"

I pirated the fuck out of From Software, today I own all their games, merchandise and bullshit like a true basedboy.

That's because they are a good company and I love what they created.

I also bought all indie games which I like and spent more than 10 hours on.

That doesn't mean I will buy deprecated games which died when I was still 8, or games which I only played for 2 hours tops.

IGG Games is your friend, if you have strong AntiVirus systems

Exactly this. Nature finds a way, always.
Look at car maintenance software.

Autodata is SaaS since 2014, and they are still working, even though Aliexpress is full of pirated copies of their old softrare.

Do not listen to this mentally retarded ESL faggot. IGG Games is a shitty adware filled site owned by a Vietcong who takes clean scene releases and injects their own "DRM" and watermarks all over their game. They also took down Good Old Downloads.

>Implying people wouldn't pay MAD cash for the ORIGINAL, if it's veridic.

found the moralfag.

>igg games
i bet you also install fitgirl repacks too you fucking ape

All you say is true, but if you have god AV the adware won't even affect you, and they have the best / simplest repacks ever found.

GOD going down was a shame, but... they were doing that ilegal thing called piracy. Sometimes it be your own senpai who fucks you over, it's what the risks are.

I don't agree with IGG tactics and ethics, but do you have a better alternative? Complaining is easy

only those which ask for my mom's credit card info

sekrit klubs and mr dj repacks

based and 4chanpilled
moralfags gtfo

never heard of those, you trynna make me believe they are more realiable?

When glorious IGG just took down GOD like it was nothing, and they are still proudly nº1 pirates ever, they even priated my bank account

Jokes aside, you faggots want to seem "knowledgeable" just because you were too retarded to install uBlock Origin

sekrit klubs are more reliable because they aren't public and have more scene releases faster, so they're ultimately safer, and locked from third worlders such as yourself. I can't even tell if you're meming at this point or just gloriously dense. In what fucking way does having a "god tier" anti virus protect you from IGG's shitty tampered cracks? You can't delete their DLLs, or else the game won't start because of their own "DRM". All i am saying is that you're a retard for not looking harder and you rely on a site you found by a quick google search.

god-games.com

>I'm retarded for not seeking a top-edgy named "sekrit kkklub"

Fuck off nigger, and give a fucking link if your dick is so big.

Otherwise, suck my dick, Fit Girl repacks are more than enough.

And pray tell how IGG is bad, since as of yet I haven't lost my credit card info, nor had any problem, major OR minor, at all.

Suck a negro dick, pussyfaggot. Not even the r/ piracy sub has any mention of those faggots, and I've been lurking ever since 2 years ago.

Now here is a MVP.

I hereby grant you the right to call me a faggot, because this link is a god send.

Anything to stop using IGG, I fucking hate that site (For the 'sekrit' faggot, I don't, I LOVE IGG, now chocke on my sudanesse dick)

Games that are not worth paying for are not worth pirating.
