>giving money to game developers & publishers
Piracy is a sin if it's illegal in your country
>>724250112>i pirated this game because it sucksI don't understand the logic of people who say this. Why are you going out of your way to download, store, and play a game that you don't like? What is the point?
some of them make games i like. if they get no money, they'll stop making the games i like or worse yet, have to sell out to a big shovelware company like EA and have the games i like be turned into monstrosities for the masses
>>724250112Because I want more stuff I like made. If a game isn't worth my money then it's not worth my time.
>>724250759>>724250905Why is the concept "i give money to this person because they did the thing i want so they can do more of thing i want" so hard to grasp for browns?
Why should I have to give MY money to people who AREN'T ME in exchange for stuff that should already be MINE? I'm the most important person ever. The world and everything in it should belong to me. Anyway this thread is about me now, let's all talk about me and how very special and important I am.

>>724251965>It's no different than the voting debate, you're a drop in the oceanI don't play AAA slopshit so I know my money makes a difference to the small devs
>>724252071Indie stuff is probably the main scenario where it does seem legitimately morally wrong to pirate, since you are directly paying for work being done, not just some arbitrary copyright holder getting the money or whatever in the fuck else people use to justify piracy
>>724252402You're paying for work to be done either way whether its indie or triple A shit. Investors want to see the money they put in to making the game pay them back, and if its sales fail to do that it makes them less likely to invest in that company to make more games in the future.
