Ok but how would you tell if I did or didn't? How would you even tell if I was some retarded zoomoid who just watched it on youtube, or if I was some paid shill or even whatever the opposite of that would be, reading off a script?
How would you discern my personal experience with the game beyond me telling you I did like an attentionwhore? What separates a poster who pirated vs a poster who purchased in a discussion of opinions on the game?

To you. It subjectively doesn’t matter to you. But it still matters to the opinion holder.

>>738734895
This is a valid take only for games where the pirated version isn't 1:1 with the purchased, like if certain online features just don't work at all. Less often the case these days but it used to be common for a while.

Playing the game is the only factor that matters when having an opionion on it, it doesn't matter how much you paid for it. The guy who paid $70 and the guy who pirated it are playing the exact same game.

Why? I can say that tlou part 1 was an entertaining interactive movie, but the pc port at launch was a mess that took months to get even somewhat fixed
That was the only game I pirated and finished in recent years; lately I’ve been buying games, like Pragmata, but even so, if anyone played it using HV bypass, their opinion matters too
I don’t see why someone who played it and even finished the pirated version can’t give their opinion; it’s a different story if they’re basing it on a review they saw on youtube

I can think of a few reasons why this might be. First off, I think pirating vidya often requires more technical knowledge than pirating music/movies, so younger people are often filtered out. Not a judgment, but the younger people I work with who pirate stuff just stream, never download. They're both afraid of viruses and not really familiar with the process. They sure as shit wouldn't be up to modding a console if it came to that.
Secondly, I think the fact that games are interactive makes them feel more valuable. Players associate the physicality, the keyboard/controller, with the game itself. It's like stealing a toy from a store instead of streaming a video.
Lastly, I think some people make gaming the main part of their personality. This makes someone that gets to do the same thing they do, probably even more because they're not limited by a budget, an affront to their whole existence
