yeah

Abortion is morally justifiable.

>justifyable
why are you so eager to announce your retardation to the world?

piratefags are scum
it's okay to pirate games from awful companies, like EA, since they've killed good game studios
but pirating games from good companies is retarded

Based. Its also ok to shoplift from stores because they're insured anyway so no financial damage is done

nigger just don't be a faggot about whatever you do
I pirate games because I want and because it's very simple to pirate, simple as that
stop trying to look for validation

user you don't understand. You HAVE to make the multimillion dollar corporations richer, even if the wages of the developers and artists who worked on the game won't change you just HAVE to its the morally right thing to do!

Encouraging others to pirate when they would otherwise buy the game is not moral unless it's by a shitty publisher in which case it's a moral obligation to make them miss out on as many sales as possible but you might as well just not play the shitty game to begin with.

i dont buy games
but i donate directly to devs if i pirate their game and end up liking it

Abortion is eugenics and eugenics are necessary.

Nobody has ever done that. Here, I'll prove it. Pull me up a paypal transaction of you doing it and I'll send you twice as much.

Shoplifting is stealing.
Pirating is not.

How many devs even have any direct donation links?

In theory however the issue is if you know piracy and getting something for free is an option that will likely affect your decision on whether or not to buy a game. It's pretty hard if not impossible for most people to be honest with themselves in such a way that the option of piracy doesn't affect their decision.

I mainly pirate porn games since my cunt blocks their sale.

I keep reading that but how the fuck do you even "donate" to devs? The closest I can think of is buying the game from platforms with lower revenue shares but that still goes through the publisher.

false, because now you're spending time playing said game instead of participating in other activities where you may spend money, effectively pirating from these other businesses

I don't do that but I buy games I pirated if I pirated them and enjoyed them. Even if I beat it and never play the legally purchased copy. I own Ancestors: A Humankind Odyssey on Steam and have never even started it because I only bought it because I felt bad how much I played and enjoyed it as well as how unique it was even if flawed. I felt I should support a game like that.

Piracy is acceptable when the game is not available for a digital sale anywhere

>just pirating and not giving a shit

Yes, this is what most people overlook.

Not that I'll make a judgement about moral justification but this is a very relevant argument.

That literally doesn't make sense though. If you're okay pirating a game then you're in no position to determine whether or not you would've bought it since the incentive to was never there.

If a game isn't worth buying, it isn't worth playing.

Who gives a shit?

Stealing from rich people is always ok.

Piracy is ok because normies will always buy the games. There will never be enough normalfags that pirate games to ruin a company. There is no reason to not pirate

Good thing I don't fucking care about what's "morally justifiable" and what's not.
I just do things that I can get away with if I feel like it.
If you have internalized things that made you consider "moral justifications" and not possible consequences before acting, you have some more important things to do before playing any video games, like cleaning enslavement and suppression subroutines out of your retard skull.

this is 100% indisputable.
if they wanted my money, they'd be selling the fuckin game.

You are the rich one from a poorer person's perspective. Are you ok with them stealing from you?

>acquire thing without paying
>well its not like I would have payed for it anyway so your not really losing a sale
I don't mind piracy especially for older games but this mentality of needing to justify it is just pure faggotry. Just own up to circumventing paying for something (ie. stealing) don't be such a whingeing faggot about it.

this
if you pirate while telling yourself "I wasn't buying it anyway" you're lying to yourself just to try to be a moralfag

Yes.

If you can get away with something then it's inconsequential to begin with, piracy is more irrelevant than stealing a candy.

It's morally justifiable to pirate games.

if you feel the need to morally justify every innocuous action that you make then you must live a tortured existence. if you are really so concerned with morality you wouldn't even consider piracy.

Pretty much every major publisher decided to stop selling games to me. That shit really has opened my eyes. I ain't paying for a digital product or a subscription ever again.

i pirate because i want free shit
game developers do not deserve money
especially my money

>I donate to devs

Pirating is basically just copying. No one gave a fuck when people copied c64 games on double deck cassette players.

It's hypocritical to say something is always ok but exempting yourself from it.
If you want to argue that way then you are either the bike cuck or the nigger that stole the bike, there's no in between since the mentality is the same.

Morality is bullshit. Just help the people you like.

I don't really care to justify it.

>learn to code, model
>start making a game
>save enough to hire a music artist and whatever my game needs
>after some years, I manage to finish my game
>it's a really good game
>would love to make another one
>some people buy it but a lot of people pirate it just because "I wasn't going to buy it anyways" or "why not, I don't care pirating"
>I don't make enough money and can't make another game
justify this
>your game wasn't good enough
let's imagine it was

ok brainlet

Remember when they told you "you can be anything" in school? They lied.

This OP and you're a fucking racist bigot if you dont

If the game's any good, those early pirated copies can actually help get word out. This is a phenomenon that has been observed.

find a real job then

Using some transcendent objective perspective instead of your own subjective one is like mental HIV that paralyzes and destroys one's reasoning capacity. And this shit is omnipresent, average person trying to talk "morals" is completely dissociated from his own flesh and blood perspective and instead tries to reason with compliance to some imaginary all-encompassing framework that doesn't exist. And then they complain that world is run by "amoral" minority, no wonder it is because majority is basically lobotomized in regards of reasoning related to their place in the world.

Morally good, you mean.

If you weren't going to buy them anyway you're not a lost sale but you are likely to be free advertising if you actually enjoyed it and you may even be an earned sale to boot.

The only publishers and devs who fear pirates are people knowingly making dogshit that you shouldn't buy.

As such, every publisher or dev complaining about it is one to be avoided for all time.

Its not because when you shoplift you deprive the shopkeeper of that item. This does not happen while pirating.
How can you be this retarded?

>financial damage

That's simply the christcuck NPC mentality, they believe in universal moral objectivity while also simultaneously thinking they are the mostest moralest of all because they are the most objective, without having an ounce of self-awareness to realize that's just their own perspective. Believing you are always moral ironically leads to all sorts of immoral behavior.

Pirates are truly the vegans of gaming

Why would I argue b8?

it's morally justifiable for me to fuck you in the ass since I wouldn't have tried to date you anyway

It's a saturated market. And advertising is a big part of it.

>>your game wasn't good enough
>let's imagine it was
If it was I imagine it would have sold better

are you retarded?
