>using these piece of shit license slop companies in 2025 to play gaymes >not owning your games for freeWhy do you still buy games from the fat jew gaben?
I'm not a thief
>>724048037You support someone with blood on his hands. Hes a murderer at worst, man-slaughterer at best with the recent CS2 skin fiasco. He literally caused people to die
>>724047938If a game cost less than $20 I will buy it, if not I will pirate it. Simple as. No exceptions.
>>724048101>Hes a murderer at worst, man-slaughterer at bestwhat does the SCOTUSOA say about that?
>>724048101Based
>>724048101If he got hit with second degree murder and acessory to murder also we call that a grand slam where I'm from
>>724048101Am I a murderer too? I've singlehandedly caused dozens of trannies just like you to kill xhemselves. You're next.
>>724047938Steam offers a better service. I do still pirate occasionally and will turn to it exclusively if gaben pulls any bullshit like removing my games.
>>724047938Good luck cracking modern Denuvo game in 2025 lol
>>724048446Not really. Piracy offers you the game+additional content for free, anonymous as you don't need an account with credit card info, playable 24/7 on every device you own right now or will own in future, can decide to skip specific updates to avoid "balance patches" or censorship, and for some mp games there are ways to play online if you are into that.
because it's convenient.
>>724048101Alright, you convince me, I will economically support Valve now
>>724048101So you pirate games but are upset that retards who only play counter strike for skins got owned by gaben making the monetization more fair? Good bait.>>724049106>good luck getting the latest updates>good luck finding a good download for anything niche or obscure>good luck finding up to date torrents for indie games less mainstream than survivors garbage>always at risk of getting a virus or crypto miner>when you get tired of zero seed torrents you switch to direct downloads only to see 99% of them want you to use premium hosting services or download literally one file (out of like 20) per day at the lowest speed possible so you're literally paying for piracyMeanwhile steam>always latest update>easy and quick access to games>always a legitimate copy>always will download fast>no virusLol

Direct downloads might sometimes be faster than torrents.
>>724047938I want to support games i like
>>724049106>for freeNot about price. It's about quality of service. Steam offers Steam Input, forums, Workshop for some games, achievements if you're into that, Proton for Linux, cloud saves, reinstalling is quicker, and tons of other shit I can't be bothered to type out. Sure, a lot of these work even with pirated copies added to Steam, but some don't and I really don't mind paying to support them and future features. Plus, if Valve goes, whoever replaces them (microsoft, ea, epic, etc) will likely make piracy much harder.>anonymousFair. I don't really mind though.>playable 24/7 on every device you own right now or will own in futureApplies to Steam as well.>can decide to skip specific updatesApplies to Steam as well, though it requires a couple extra steps.
torrent everything i can on PC.buy only physical games i really like on PS and Switchthis is the only way.
I literally won't sleep until all you pirates are behind bars
>>724049653>WorkshopDo 10 seconds of google search and find a workshop downloader.All the other shit is slop. I want a PURE video game experience without Steam overlay or some bullshit like that. Just double click the EXE and launch the game, no bullshit. And I certainly do not trust Gabe Newell with my save files.
>>724049746This anon will die of sleep deprivation very soon.

>>724047938>whynot every game i want is on fitgirl also i like coop games so i need normal copies to play with friends
>>724048101No actual humans have died. Only Russians and Chinks. And that should tell you how little I think of Russians, that I don't even bother knowing an ethnic slur for them.
>>724049653>Steam InputMostly irrelevant>forums, workshopYou can browse forums of any game even without an account.>achivements if you're into thatDefinitely not. I never cared about in-game achivements let alone off-game ones.>Proton for LinuxIf you claim to give a fuck about playing on PC and use Linux without not even bothering to run a Windows VM or whatever, I will just call you a liar. You never fucking did.>cloud saves, reinstalling is quickerI can just transfer the save files or all the game files. Not being tech illiterate helps.>>playable 24/7 on every device you own right now or will own in future>Applies to Steam as well.I wouldn't be so sure about the latter part, and the former is a big "yes, but...">though it requires a couple extra stepsHence the piracy option is more convenient here because you can just... not download the update files.
>>724049973cloud saves is actually a great idea tho, often i would grind a boss on elden ring on my train journeys to work and back and without that i wouldnt be able to continue automatically back homeall my usb drives are Full size, so id need to fuck about every day for 5 minutes dongling it up to function
>>724050105>cloud saves is actually a great idea thoJust saying but you can use any other cloud service outside of steam to transfer your files between devices, including literally just Windows shared folders.
>>724048764Theres nothing with Denuvo worth playing.
>>724050248You're coping like this since 2013. Its been 12 years. Let it go. There are good games with Denuvo
>>724050287>There are good games with DenuvoName 3
steamfags are without a hind of irony the biggest suckers in gaming. they pay a lot of money -because they are scammed by sales of games that they never play- for hot air. and all they own is a limited license. even Epic is a better company because guess what: they bring console games to PC like kingdom hearts. Gabe doesn't give a single fuck about gaming outside of monetizable services. it's all a scam. pay for zero game production.
>>724050504>steamfags are without a hind of irony the biggest suckers in gamingTo be fair today there is a lot of competition for that title. Everyone is fucking gamers, occasionally even on the emulation side if you were to turn to retrogaming instead.

>>724051407Yes, I know that you are botposting.
>>724047938you can't pirate multiplayer games but agreed otherwise, there is no reason to pay for singleplayer games especially old ones unless you insist on supporting the devs
>>724051225>>724051281In case you've missed it, a new group started cracking Denuvo games in the last week. They're on game #3 at the present.
>>724051519No you. The pattern shows. And im an idiot to respond. Your bot prompt is "Respont with negative response to anyone who play Denuvo games"
>>724051647Shining Resonance Refrain was 8 years old game. the "New Group" you speak of cannot crack new Denuvo games

>>724052950Even Pyramid has starting to rot, bro. And its the only thing that stood on the old 7 wonders of the world. The rest are literally gone. Our life is basically from 60 to 80 years old anyway. Steam obviously gonna last on our lifetime. I dont give a shit about next generation
>>724053028You have other things to worry about on zombie apocolypse, Nuclear Fallout or WWIII than playing video games, retard
>>724053083You clearly do not know my priorities, my friend.

>>724050504>even Epic is a better companyHoly shit lmao>because guess what: they bring console games to PCOkay, actual underage retard detected. This is what Gabe already did. Before Steam blew up companies and studios shat on PC gaming and wanted it dead while favouring consoles (that includes the epic games boss) because of muh piracy, it even included games that would work much better on PC like first person shooters or diablo clones. Those console games that got PC versions has poor quality inferior ports because PC gamers were considered second class citizens.After Steam blew up way more games got proper PC versions and the quality of ports increased, even with Japanese games that usually had completely dogshit ports (original pc port of re4 wanted you to use the KEYBOARD without the mouse lol)
>>724047938I sometimes buy from keysellers (at less than $10) so I never give money directly to valve or anyone.
>>724049973>Mostly irrelevantWhat? Steam input is great. If you don't use controllers, fine, but tons of people do.>You can browse forums of any game even without an account. I know. And like I said, I don't mind paying to support them and ensure they continue to exist. Same for any other feature you don't need to buy games on Steam for.>Definitely not.

Steam has show no indication they'll start banning people or removing games from their libraries anytime soon. If they do, I'll switch to piracy.>the former is a big "yes, but..."How? I've never had a situation where I couldn't play my Steam games because the servers were down or whatever.>the piracy option is more convenient hereYes, for this one situation, piracy is slightly more convenient, for every other situation, Steam is much more convenient.>>724050196>Windows shared folders>using windows in current year
>>724056051>If you don't use controllers, fine, but tons of people do.I do, and they work for pirated games too.>Again, just you.Obviously not.>Have you ever used Linux? Yes, long before Proton was a thing. It's not worth it for games.>I also know how to move files from one device to another.Clearly not since you didn't figure out sharing can be done within your network, and that was long before cloud became a thing.>removing games from their libraries anytime soonDelisting is already an issue, straight removing a game you bought would be stealing.>I couldn't play my Steam games because the servers were downHappened a few days ago>Yes, for this one situationFor everything really. The fact that your games aren't linked to a third-party online service is already huge because no matter what happens, you can play the game by simply having the files available, nothing more required.>using windows in current yearIf you care about gaming, it's the only true option.Linux is settling for reading wikis and praying somebody else played the game on your specific distro.
>>724053038Don't care, still not paying for your cuck license
To play online duh
>>724053038Of course my hard drive with pirated games can theoretically rot, like during a flood, but that's why you have backups and, if you have internet access, it's easy to re-pirate those games again.You are saying the N word once or Gabe Newell being in a bad mood away from losing access to all "your" games forever.
>>724047938>Why do you still buy games from the fat jew gaben?I dont This board has an unhealthy obsession with worshipping companies
>>724056601>I do, and they work for pirated games too.Fair. Steam input is really powerful. I haven't seen any other remapping tool like it.>Obviously notHow? I know it's not literally just you, as in you're the only person in the world who doesn't care for achievements, but plenty of people dox and for them, achievements are one reason Steam is better than piracy.>It's not worth it for games.I guess it depends on what you value, privacy, ease of use, customization, etc. Linux requires slightly more work, but I value customization so it's 100% worth it for me. Games just work ootb most of the time and the most tweaking I've had to do is maybe use protontricks to download some dependency. The only games that don't work are multiplayerslop with kernel anticheat, but I'm not interested in that anyway.>sharing can be done within your networkI know. Steam is just simpler because it's already set up and automatic. I could easily set up my own personal cloud save and download server on my NAS if I wanted.>Delisting is already an issueIt's really not a huge issue. You can still play delisted games if you already owned them, and if not, you can just pirate.>Happened a few days agoYou mean on tuesday? As part of the weekly scheduled 15-minute maintenance? And you can still play games in offline mode.>you can play the game by simply having the files availableYou can do that with your Steam copies too by using goldberg. And if something happens to Steam, then I'll pirate. If something happens to the entire internet, I've got bigger issues than games.>Linux is settling for reading wikis and praying somebody else played the game on your specific distro.Justwerks for me. Not sure what else to say.
>>724058519>achievements are one reason Steam is better than piracy.The shit you read on this board, I swear.
>>724048101>degenerate subhuman gamblers offing themselvesThat's a good thing though.
Archivements are nice, but if you can't play your games without them and only play games for the sake of archivements, that just means that you are not actually having fun and enjoying the game.
>>724058685What's wrong with that? Unless I'm missing something, it objectively is a feature Steam has that piracy doesn't. If you subjectively don't care about that, fine, nothing wrong with it, but plenty of people do.
>>724050504FUCK STEAMFUCK EPICLONG LIVE CRACKED VIDYA

>>724061437because i'm not poor anymore and i'm white so i understand basic principles of economics and empathise enough with the developers that i feel guilty for stealing games that i enjoyed
>>724047938If a game isn't worth buying it's clearly not worth my time.
>>724061603In other words, you are guillible and retarded, got it.
>>724061603Do you have glasses and beard and in an open relationship by any chance?
>>724061692in other words, you think torrenting shit makes you clever because that's how low the bar is in whatever brownistan you crawled out ofno retard, i know how easy it isin fact it's easier than ever precisely because of steam
>>724061761piracy existed before steam or you were born little man
>>724061802do you need to have definitions of words explained to you?what do you think easier than ever means?now if a steam game comes out without any drm you replace a single fucking file and have the game cracked>>724061716are you living paycheck to paycheck by any chance?
>>724060286>BOT! BOT! BOT!Nothing better to say, kek.It's quite ironic because you sound like a broken record.
>steamcultists seething
>>724051173>bragging about paying to be rooted.I don't care if the game is good because if it has denuvo, it's no longer good.
>>724062548He doesn't even actually like the game. He only cares about masturbating to Miku.
>>724060286Have @u
>>724061603The devs already got paid. They don't receive any royalties beyond their fixed term contract. That being said, a better argument for buying games would not be to support the devs but to support the franchises, to say that you want more of this. If it's financially viable, more of your favorite games will be made. Once you realize this, it's easy to justify buying games. Piracy is fine but if you really like the game then it would cost you barely anything to pay for it, giving away money is only a bad thing when you pay for completely dogshit games that set a bad standard (what most normalfags do), but those games are not even worth playing to begin with, let alone buying. So piracy is useful but it doesn't make much sense for a first worlder in active employment with more money than time. Money was never an issue, time is.
>>724047938How the fuck do you get an invite to gazellegames? I've got good creds on TL and MAM but can't find an IRC or anywhere to apply for an interview.
>>724063661this is a retarded argument because publishers CANNOT be trusted to not be extremely myopic. if I have a selfish argument for wanting more of my favorite games to be made, it would be more effective for me to spend the 60$ paying people to shill them.
>>724055907This is literally less ethical and more illegal than just fucking pirating the game.
>>724064134>it would be more effective for me to spend the 60$ paying people to shill them.Onirism gets shilled constantly on /v/ yet has a player count of like 8 pedos. Not a single soul is buying that game because pajeets shill it here. Leave the shilling to megacorpos who can manipulate the algorithm.

I like how you can see who is a pirate who pretend to be one in this thread.

>>724071159it's amazing how buyfags seethe and have to prove themselves to strangers online by bragging about how much they spend on games as if anyone cares
