Is piracy really hurting the video gamec industry?
I hope so
>>738255776that's right frogposter, you better start pirating cp asap to save the children
yeah bcuz you can make infinite copies for free and publisher makes no moni (sad)
>>738255776In the same way everyone that doesn't drink Coke is harming Coca-Cola's soft drink industry is, yeah.
>>738255776No.https://www.ibtimes.com/eu-buried-study-found-no-impact-piracy-entertainment-industry-2592661/thread
>>738255851I already pirated it, it was pretty bad
If it did eric would spend his entire life pirating nintendo games then deleting them just to pirate them again
>>738255776true
>>738255990Man I can't believe people actually hyped over this humiliation ritual
>>738255851gotta give a source for that my sources ran dry
>>738255941The study is as accurate as a study on penis size based on self reported info. It isnt based on sales data but instead the opinions of the people they polled. According to the study, piracy affects music and movies but vidya is immune.
>don't pay for product>still consume productWhat causes this?
>>738255776No. The lack of continual payment, greater price for the product, is hurting the video gaming industry. The game is good enough to be subscription based. The imperial commoners are just appeased by sacrificing their, "weak" for the sake of fulfilling belief in ability to fulfill beliefs.This is because democracy fails to rule where new kinds of law, like space force military branch technologies, artificial intelligence, and other advanced knowledge, are not likely commonly known. Democracy is usually a rule of law whereby at least half the people know whether or not something is or is not a good idea. Lacking this knowledge, people seek alternative government, and so have wasted what was an, "all in" attempt for law and order. They pay out the noses, but continue wanting the ability to want. They pay out their pocket books, but the expenses are proof they may lack ability to want, and even that they lack wanting the ability to want.Its over? Maybe, never been so over? Just get a freezing cold temperature for any time you are deceased, decaying.
>>738256424Fuck it. I can't type for an intention. I practically read like a god damn, "Metal Gear Solid 2" rant.Are we ditching capitalism for a royalty, majesty government yet?Maybe read me then.
>>738255776What about let's players who spoil the game for you?
>>738255776Piracy is keeping the game industry afloat
>>738256747you can't spoil gameplay by simply watching it, movie enjoyer
>>738256806You know LARPers are at full force nowadays, right? Who do you think caused this phenomenon to begin with?
>>738255776No. If you're selling a good product conveniently at a good pricepoint while maintaining a good reputation, then you only need a mild piracy deterrent for piracy to be a net positive.Companies regularly spend their entire dev budget again on marketing, so why would they turn down free, unbiased marketing unless their games are shit?>>738256385I don't know, ask major publishers, they're masters of wage theft and not paying for things they consume.
>>738256901literally what are you talking about lil man
>>738256385The producers trying to charge double for their product
>>738255776I would say that the anti-piracy measures making the product shittier and run worse does more harm.
>>738256932where do you think people who larp get those information from without playing the game?Think, anon.
>>738257139>Think, anon.I don't think I will.
Nah, the bigger threat is live service shit sucking up attention to other games. If you sell a game for 70 bucks, people will say why pay 70 when I can play fortnite or marvel rivals for free.
>>738255776Short answer: No.
>>738255776Piracy isn't hurting the vidya game industry. It's only hurting greedy jews who deliver low quality products for a premium price. Piracy is, always was and will be part of the vidya industry.
>>738256385chose the better service
>>738255776Uh oh buycucks?
>>738256385this is whatever. pretending you also have moral supreriority is where pirates make a retard name for themselves.
>>738255776this is what pisses me off about the yun yun syndrome developer. everyone appreciates reviving the golden age of the internet. but then he used a shitty translator that changed words into "END FASCISM". now he's taking down the demo due to "piracy concerns" when it's obvious he's importing japans anti piracy stance. you know how you don't fuck up the game until first purchases don't refund it or don't leave mid reviews? by not using a shitty translation that inserts modern slang into a 2000s era game. he will do everything except sue the translator dragonbaby to actually get money back. people are downloading the demo to check if the game is any good before commiting because the entire translation is shot and hes using the same translator to retranslate so it's still compromised. remember when games were published physically and went through quality assurance and playtesting to ensure that none of this shit ever happens in the first place?
