nice lifehack
what's the game, user?
Didn’t limewire get sued for like some bullshit 70 trillion dollars. Makes you wonder if the amount of money they say they lose is exaggerated if they claim to have lost money that’s over 3.5 times the united states GDP.
limewire got themselves sued on purpose. it was a money-laundering scheme
Laugh while you can, piratefag, but your time will come eventually. Mark my words.
>pirate one game
>its one less digital copy for a person to buy online
imagine if everyone focuses on pirating one game, that would mean no more digital copies of that game for people to buy. lol
YAR HAR FIDDLE DEE DEE
pirates wil tell you the ridiculous lie that poracy doesn't hurt sales. While publishers will tell you the equally as ridiculous lie that every pirated copy is a lost sale. reality it is incredibly hard to quantify as you can't have the same situation twice, and lots of piratefags don't even really know themselves if they'd buy the game.
>pirate game
>burn DVD with Alcohol 120 and sell them to my bros
> loses $600
Not really. It's only a fraction of price for 1 copy. Nobody knows exactly what is this fraction, but analysts assume that its somewhere near 5-10% for single player games.
So thereby company loses $3-6.
Pretty sure that’s why they usually pirate it in the first place so they don’t waste money.
made lots of money in the 90s and 00s doing this. fucking ps1 and ps2 games were selling like hot cakes.
In what way does clicking a download button result in a loss?
Because I didn't pay for it?
What about the 99% of the human population that didn't buy it whether it be due to lack of interest in the game, or vidya in general, living in 3rd world countries, etc? By that logic, no game should be a profit.
Now I wish it did.
