You’re response without sounding mad, Timmy?
>>
It's actually not I only buy games if it has denuvo
>>
I don't want to pay for video games, Gay Ben.
>>
It's clearly false. Piracy as not bad as corpos want you to think but people who pirate clearly don't do it because of bad service, they do it because they want to receive the game without paying.
>>
They upload the torrents themselves actually. Gaming is just another political platform used for influencing the masses. The goyim cattle must remain distracted with idle past times, to fulfil their work quotas. You don’t get yachts without eating the souls of a couple hundred workers. We’ve been feeding gold and virgins to lucifer, mankind is so pathetic. They service him without even knowing.

This, so much this. I love knowing that my investment in gaming culture is protected from thieves.

Im not sure what you believe is happening with torrents. Very very easy to close torrents for good. That one’s really obvious, can’t believe you didn’t notice lucifer has been eating virgins and gold. Thats probably one of the bigger facts about reality is the talking immortal demon who loves virgins and gold. The second biggest fact is that he touches my dick without consent.

Gaben tongues my anus :D

Wrong definition of "mad", anon.

There's no response. He proved it with steam's success.

Why do steamies think about Timmy 24/7?
>>
>>736651410
they can't comprehend the idea of people who don't bootlick corpos

>>736651016
It's true though. When the service(s) suck piracy increases. Look at what's going on with the film and TV industry. More people are pirating shit now cause the streamers are raising their prices too high and constantly removing shit. Sure there's people like you and I who will pirate regardless, but we aren't the majority of pirates.

>>736651016
>Piracy is a service issue
This statement is often interpreted as "players turn to piracy because game stores are complicated and clunky" but that is not the issue at all. If the concern was this sort of "service issue" steam would fail just as badly as all the alternatives.
Steam dominates because people use it as social media. They need to buy the game to put it on their profiles and show all their steam friends.
So in a sense the statement is true. And for a lot of people the social media experience is even more important than the game itself.

I don't want my friends to see all of the games I have. It's my least favorite thing about steam. Fuck you mean my friends can see my library and what I'm playing?

You're a retarded lowlife. The quote is about Steam making tons of money in regions where other publishers never cared about because "those people are all pirates".

I nod in agreement. and then go back to pirating eroge.
>>
Gay sex is a service issue too
>>
>>736651158
>they do it because they want to receive the game without paying.
...Why don't they want to pay for the game? Outside of being broke, what is their motivation for not buying the game?
>>
>>736651158
Yeah, the fact that piracy goes down massively when service improves and then goes back up when the service gets worse is just a coincidence. I am very smart.
>>
>>736651016
This is just a white lie to preserve the self-esteem of retards. If piracy is an issue for your company and appears to significantly impact your ability to remain profitable, then either your games are shit, you suck at selling games or both. You are not witnessing the "negative effects of piracy", you're just not offering a service that anyone would want to pay for so you only see pirates.
>>736651158
The mere existence of piracy is fundamentally not an issue. If corpos sell your data and push ads on you, then they are equating this with monetary value, so any pirate who pirates and talks about the game is ultimately still paying for the game or is completely net neutral in terms of their cost if the game doesn't even leave enough of an impression for them to talk about it.
AAA releases will double their development budget on marketing, so clearly this is valuable to them and pirates are essentially free marketing, not even representing an opportunity cost since most were never part of the target audience.
It's only a bad game that would fear free marketing, which is also why only the worst major releases use Denuvo.
>>736651710
Those streaming sites are mostly just coping, because complaining about pirates allows them to push responsibility and culpability for their plummeting userbase onto something that they can provide a placebo for, either with more DRM or by lobbying for even more unconstitutional copyright laws.
>>
there has literally never been a single video game company that has went out of business on piracy alone
>>
>>736651016
I bought Master Chief Collection but had to make a new account just to play single player, then when I went to play it again Microsoft had locked the account
So I refunded and pirated
>>
>>736654728
a free product running horribly is acceptable.
a paid product running horribly is not.

also
>safety, and privacy issues
you're thinking of kernel-level anticheats which are another can of worms entirely.

Timmy is an antiwhite slur used by black men.
