Why do pirates think stealing the hard work of others is okay?

I'd like to see these comics pulled out in court

Nobody cares about the law though. Moral philosophy is the only leverage you have because antipiracy laws are straight up unenforceable.

Because it's funny to watch people like you get assmad over something you can never control, OP. Also piracy was a term invented by the industry to make it seem like file sharing is as bad as rape, murder, and pillaging. What it's actually called is FILE SHARING but that's okay because this post will get ignored by you moralfags anyways who aren't REALLY here to talk about "file sharing" you're just here to whine about how your billion dollar corporation deserves my money for some reason

Pirates lack a sense of ethics.

Someone post the "Don't even think about painting it red."

It took time money effort food water and a place to stay, not to mention talent and years of polish to make the game you are stealing.

That, is why I pay for games now.

You cant steal a digital copy. Stealing means that you take something from someone and he doesnt have it anymore. Pirating games is like not paying in public transport but not stealing.

Another reason everybody hates zoomers. You don't do what's right because it's right, you only care if it's something that can get you in trouble. I don't steal the efforts of others and it has nothing to do with laws or them being enforced. Grow up already.

Because I can

I stopped buying games when they started charging 60 bucks for something that can be consumed in less than half a day. Rather go to the movies and get the same amount of entertainment time for a lot less money.

But then, movies these days are also shit.

If it's good pay for it bot almost nothing is worth it nowadays, last game I bought that was worth it was Nier

polite sage but felt like leaving a "based" in reply to this

Grow up and waste my hard earned cash on something that can be obtained for free? You're an idiot.

>bad guy was actually the good guy all along
I love this trope

imagine if all game developers decided you're right and stopped making games althogether, you would only play with your ass in the end

Because they steal my money through tax refunds without paying any taxes themselves anyway. Why should i give them more money? They can go fuck themselves.
Also if you pay money for things you can get for free you're an absolute fucking idiot.

If I copy a bike who owns it?
If there's a part I need to something and I 3D print it, am I doing something illegal?
If I draw fanart of something, is it no longer my art?

Not saying pirating is OK, just saying that you're fucking retarded.

That's the idea. Kill the gaming industry because I only play indie games that are only made because the developer wants to make them.

But I literally would never have bought the game otherwise, user. Just let me pirate. Fuck.

imagine if every gaming related manufacturer and publisher died. sounds great I wish it would really happen

Yeah but wojaks get more responses, so personally drawn comics aren't feasible in this economy.

pretty much, and thats the problem

videogames nowadays have become more like a service rather than a good (mostly if you play with digital copies only)

by making copies you avoid paying for that service, and that translate into a loss for the game developers

Its really not hard to understand, every time a person plays a pirated copy, means game developers have one less buyer (because like in the image, most people that pirate wont ever buy the product at the end)

try to mantain a bussiness where you offer a service and people decide to use it without paying for it and then lets see if you still defend piracy

you are the living proof people on Yea Forums dont play games and are just oldfarts that come to talk shit about them, wishing they would have never existed

>try to mantain a bussiness where you offer a service and people decide to use it without paying for it and then lets see if you still defend piracy

Is it a coincidence that the games that are the most pirated make the most money?

That piracy has never killed a game and has only helped it? Jew devs are delusional if those pirated copies would ever be sales.

it's called buying white brand products

the cost of items is higher because they spent a fuckload of money on making that product what it is, then some company just steps in "oh hey that's a nice product, I'll start making it" and sells it for half the price, a lot of people will buy the white brand product & think they're doing nothing wrong

Stealing being a bad thing is ingrained in human instinct, even 2 year olds will try to keep their toys to themselves, and have to be forced to share.

Piracy on the other hand is the natural state of how people interact with software.
Before copy protection became big, me and my friends would all copy each other's games and not even have the possibility of it being immoral in any way come to mind, and that's not a unique case. "its a copy" isn't some justification, its the default way of thinking you keep until you read some redditor's dumb post guilt-tripping you for having it.

What are you talking about, most wojak and pepe threads nowadays die with less than 50 posts.

>devs can make as many copies to sell each copy
literally ok to pirate this wwy
How is this moral,,,,

if a maid takes her employer's jewelery from the dresser is that theft? yes. if a maid flips through her employer's cook book and memorizes the meatloaf recipe is that theft? no. intellectual property isn't real.

Games sell for 80% off because people pirated them and their sales were poor, meaning they're trying to scrape as much money as they can off their failed investment. Piracy does hurt lool

What even is going on here?

Actually nevermind i figured it out. I thought it was tv screens of a game unreleased or something.

Piracy not affecting sales is only correct because normies are scared and think pirating is dangerous. If they found out it's actually safe then they'd obviously just pirate because no one actually gives a shit about supporting people thousands of times richer than them.

because i can get away with it.

They don't need to because by the time the current tiktok/fartnite generation grows up and starts voting with their wallets (which doesn't mean they'd have to start pirating, even, there are plenty of free games and vidya isn't the only interesting thing in existence, even) le industry would've groomed the next batch of preadolescent retards. They only differ from actual paedophiles in that they fuck with their intelligence, moral values and common sense instead of genitals.

if you think piracy is immoral, then yes it is.
For example take those coffee pad or coffee capsules & the machines that use them. A ton of money must have gone into research & development for those, so that even if they're cheap to produce, they need to pay that off by taking a cut off sales
Other companies now simply take that research & make a copy of the established product and since they don't need that cut for research & development they can sell it at a cheaper price while still profiting more

It also goes to a lesser extent for foods, such as cookies. Know all those oreo ripoffs, those are cheaper because it was already made before them, so all they had to do was copy it, they had no expenses other than the materials to make the cookies with & the machines to put them together

The enlightened agnostics version

What is phone posting autocorrect!? Jeez such low iq too...as expected from sheep that can't deduce anything.

>What is phone posting autocorrect!?
Something ESL spics use as an excuse even when it obviously doesn't apply here?

oh, you're just doing a big brain thing in defense of piracy. well, good. I thought you were unironically coming down on both at the same time

Piracy isn’t a lost sale. They were never going to buy it, no matter what people trying to justify it say.
The only solution is to be a dev that people will actually want to support. CDPR took this attitude for the Witcher after 2, and it clearly didn’t hurt their bottom line.

You are a turbo sperg

Fuck devs lol

even if it is a lost sale its still not wrong. You don't own potential sales any more than you own the air and water.

So you're just defending literal theft?

Then can you explain it to me then?

Theft isn't wrong because of lost sales, brainlet. It's wrong because your denying someone access to their own property.

Wow, them's fighting words, mate.

while I do support piracy, I'm not particularly defending it with that post
I'm just saying you gotta take em both, either both are bad or both are

if you say "piracy is bad because people worked hard on that and if you want to make use of their work you have to buy it", then white brand products fall under that as well
if you say "I pay for the material, digital media costs nothing for extra products, and as such piracy is not immoral" white brand products fall under that too, you do not care about the work put into something that got it to that point and instead you simply spend your money where you want

sales were poor because they charged $60 dollars for something that costs them 0 to distribute. There's no reason a game should cost more than $20 other than greed.

Sharing resources among your peer group is the natural state of things. It's one of the basic principals of human psychology. It doesn't matter if it's food, shelter, software, toys, labor, or any thing else that can be shared. It's one of the most basic things we can do to be included into a group that we want to be included into.

you likely don't consider it immoral because you're not the one losing something.
in the example of your toy, you don't want to share it because you would lose your toy
If you could duplicate your toy and give the duplicate to a friend, you'd see no issue with that as well

Theme park photos you're supposed to buy

inb4 that stupid inflation website
the makers of the game knew inflation existed, it's not something new, they thought long ahead about the future and it should always be $20.

Twitch streamers aren't going to pay for themselves, you know.

people make video games without any profit motives all the time.

A copy of a game is a licence for you to own your copy of the game. If someone wants to share that licence with other people then I don't see how that violates anything except a bunch of rules made by lawyers.

only thing wrong with it is the lost sale fallacy

>fineleatherjackets.net/monkeyinflation

they knew what they meant, fuck face. they made a god damn video game, you haven't.

the only way that this comic would make a tiny bit of sense is if the shop owner custom made his bike and built it from scratch in a world where people can magically make copies of anything.

I can barely stay invested in games anymore.

I'm not paying for something that I'm going to drop after an hour or two.

Not just that but if he invented the concept of a bike.

Based, short and concise

>bro my friend group is literally anyone on the planet and they can share it limitlessly it's just sharing dude
Ok

No one loses anything when software is copied and distributed. People pay money on principle to compensate those whose work they enjoy. It's why you can have thousands coming in to you on patreon for doing virtually nothing. You cannot deny that reality and at the same time argue that videogame copyright infringement is somehow harmful or causes "lost sales".

This would be a good analogy for todays AAA games if the bike had no wheels and had shit smeared all over the seat

see it can be considered immoral as people spent a lot of work so that the product could come to be
you do not pay for the product itself, as it can be reproduced for free, however you pay for the work done for it

when you buy medicine, you don't pay for the materials, as usually they're very cheap. you pay for the research that went into that and other medicines. It's why medicine for very rare illnesses is so expensive, it's because it's very hard to make back the money on the research

I have made a game, it's an indie classic that doesn't go over $20

Also 30, I'm just not a moralfag like you. Wrong or right, I simply do not care.

Can you name 5(FIVE) games that have actually suffered due to piracy? Including actual sales, actual copies pirated, and actual lost sales? People have been arguing about piracy for years now and it's still going on and literally nothing's changed. It has no real impact

How do you even get the pirated metric?

Do you pay your dick before you fap?

I'm going to assume it's the amount of time the game is torrented on torrent sites?
Obviously it's more than just that, but trying to determine who can self crack wouldn't be feasible and honestly if all the pirates could self crack no one would even say a word about it, but most can't and pretend they're "Simply copying the game" when they can't even crack the shit themselves and rely on someone else to do it like a cuck

holy shit imagine giving that much of a shit at your job

if i had to it'd probably be in better condition

I wonder how many of these self righteous redditors would support these arguments if you changed the good in question. For example if we introduced universal healthcare but in doing so the government would negotiate a lower price with drug makers and the researchers, their companies, and their shareholders would collectively make less money would you be up in arms about it? Would you be insisting that we have a duty as consumers to pay more?the free market should dictate price, piracy is just another avenue to create pressure to lower prices this is good for consumers full stop. Corporations are already in such a more powerful position than the consumer with respect to leverage via their growing size and monopolistic control over the market that if you were to eliminate piracy you have no idea the kind of price gouging we’d be experiencing.
Remember when CDs used to cost 20 bucks? They’d probably cost like 40-45 bucks right now if piracy didn’t exist and they increased in cost in line with other consumer goods.

nah this one doesn't make any sense, most dipshits who buy games can barely work their computer let alone pirate shit.

You are not allowed to manipulate the atoms into that pattern in any way unless I allow you to, in the same way any intellectual property works.

Did you just suggest to someone to voluntarily continue living in this shithole of a dystopia for ten fucking more years?

>unironically hating kids

kids are great and fill places with life and joy that you can't even explain. The real problem is that a lot of women are shit, don't know shit, can't do shit, and have shit morals. Even then you can overcome that if you have a decent family and don't live in a shit state

>I'm on top of the productivity leaderboard
damn son you worked so hard for some boss or higher authority you forgot what you posted.

Because people love the bike metaphor, lemme add to it:
>buy bike
>go to use bike, suddenly the bike must update
>suddenly I'm told I can't have more than two gears unless I pay extra, despite having them on the bike
>go to raise the seat a little, am told that I have to pay to do that
>start pedaling, suddenly the breaks are put on to slow me down
>am told that I have to pay for bikeTM premium to go that fast
>suddenly the bike stops working, saying I must pay to use the bike longer
>walk my bike home as I see red-painted pirate bikes speeding by

I'm not saying that makes you a bad person, I'm saying it's not a moral gray area. People can do dick things without becoming complete dicks.
I'm not going to bother asking exactly what you typically pirate because you'd have no way of proving it one way or another, but it's rarely the giant corporations anti-piratefags care about, it's everyone below them. There's no official cutoff point where it becomes acceptable to pirate, it just makes less of a difference as you go up.

>imagine not just shooting up your workplace

>but we're entitled to the sale of it
The absolute fucking state of buycucks. Weep me a fucking river you fucking pussies. Oh the poor, poor corporations, and their poor, poor army of lawyers, and corporate lobbies working day and night to find and create every possible legal loop hool to fuck the customer as hard as possible.

Based pirate wins again

You guys are idiots, it takes time and money to develop the bike; money lost by the product owner when you just copy and run away with it.

More like two before they realize how much of a faggot they are and end it

If this was possible no one would have to work and no one would go hungry. We would be gods

>b-but work is meaningful and sacrifice is a virtue

kek

Who are you quoting?

this user
Also can you stay, /jp/?

holy shit i love piracy now!

You have to stop being underage, faggot.

it must be difficult being retarded

kek

why are you playing games made by tranny devs in the first place?

man so based he even copied the price tag

>plus tax
Why do you Americans do this? One time when I was on holiday I brought exact change to buy something and there was a cute girl on at the till and I kept telling her she had the price wrong and I think she thought I was retarded.

this. I don't need to justify anything to you, OP. Eat shit.

So you mean we could kill off bloated publishers that abuse developers and churn out shit games and only have left over the hobbyists who create art out of a genuine desire to create and share their vision with others?

Prey? More like don't pay!

Nigger he copied the original design from someone else. He didn't invent the bicycle.

He can copy his own bikes at any time.

Inflation isn't real it's an idea thought up by a Jew

>20$
>*takes out phone*
>SIR!
>SIR YOU CAN'T DO THAT
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

m8y you've gotta be fucking illiterate to think that moral questions boil down to "human instinct." That's like Jordan Peterson tier fucktarded. I support pirates, you are just an idiot.

When I made the comic, which was many years ago, the latest meme on Yea Forums was a stock photo of a man knocking on the door with your pizza, charging you for it plus tip.

Same reason stores price everything at X.99
Makes people spend more than they otherwise would.
