seems like a very reasonable response?

can you stop pretending to be a retard just to get some (You)s? i don't understand how you find joy in that

>>738892974
It's just not really worth it to comment on piracy as an indie developer.

More or less how I feel about piracy
Trannies and thirdies treat petty theft like a badge of honour that needs to be shared with everyone instead of like something shameful that you do in secret

hmmmm

Free publicity

If you want to get rich u gotta think like the jew

I think it's amusing how many "indie" games these days are just a small team getting massive funding from a big publisher. Shit ain't even indie

The dev is crying even more on Twitter than the achievement whore, dev is actually whining that his "overly positive" rating was ruined by this single review had.

If all it takes is a single negative review to trigger the fuck out of someone, then they shouldn't be making games.

I made fun of this jewish friend of mine heavily cause he told me he pirated ninja gaiden 4, a game i bought and loved. I rubbed in his face that he pirated a game that sold worse than hundred line, a game he purchased full price and fucking hated, so much that he rants about it just mentioning the name. He did eventually buy it, and every time hed play it go "OMG THIS GAME SO GUD" then stop playing after 40 mins to play deadlock.
Anyway, i can only justify piracy if publishers are dicks or the game is abandonware. Games like rollerdrome and disco elysium, it honestly is morally correct to pirate because the dev studio of those games dont even exist and will never see a cent of it. Same with the original dead space trilogy.
If the game isnt being legally sold, pirate away, just dont complain about it or posture about it. Pirates are becoming the new vegans of the gaming subculture and its gay as hell.

Bro you know I fuck ur ass lmao

just don’t use them? it’s like people bitching about how broken junction is in ff8 when they went specifically out of their way to grind out card and refine
>>
>>738893885
it still amazes that even after decades being the international market, the japanese are so fucking idiotic with how the rest of the world works.
The big dogs on top are understandable. But the common joe are pants on head retarded. "Purissu du nutto pirate geym!" even when the game is out of circulation, and pretty much abandoned and the only way to play it is to pirate and emulate.
>>
>>738894383
you didn’t either. it’s just a few kilobytes of text

>>738897616
the post you are replying to is both phrased amicably and makes a cogent point beyond nippon honor (and is also about mangos rather than vidyers)
i ain't gonna grandstand, being a pirate myself, but if you truly can't grasp why even commonners might not appreciate piracy then you just lack the theory of mind

The point is that their way of thinking is not applicable on how the international markets work.
Piracy was the only thing that even made their media massively profitable in the first place since early western adaptations were so fucked and fumbled.
The market started because of it and kept growing even when even when it's still there.
Them clinging to their honoru system is backwards.

I don't blame manga artists for the situation at all, it's distributors. Legitimate manga sites charge absolutely insane prices, the figures are astronomical. I don't seek out legitimate avenues because I could not justify those prices no matter how much I made. There is no affordable avenue to purchase manga if you're buying it outside of Japan. Anime does not have this problem to nearly the same degree because much of it has been seamlessly integrated with existing TV streaming programs and the rest is still on monthly subscription sites. There is no manga site I'm aware of that you can just sub for a flat recurring fee and read all you want. Everything is token-based, you pay X amount to read a single chapter of a single manga. It's also broken up so no one site has everything from every publisher, so you're going to have to use multiple sites no matter what. Fuck that.
It's made especially difficult to justify when the alternative is "free site with almost every manga ever made with a tagging system and we don't require an account". I'm sorry, but you have to make your service more convenient and accessible than pirate sites, and that can't just constitute playing whack-a-mole with them. Manga authors and studios shouldn't be pressuring customers to use the existing, terrible system, they should be putting serious pressure on the system to not be so utterly shit.
Also, he's completely wrong about the whole 'getting it for free' bit because I feel like it was really only around 2013-14(ish, I don't have some exact date) that they started putting serious effort into the western market. Before that you had tons and tons of fansubbers for anime and scanlators for manga doing all their work for them because there literally was no alternative whatsoever. That was the case for literal decades, and now you give people the option the option to pay insane prices for a terrible service and get mad when they don't want to.

>honoru system is backwards
>is not applicable on how the international markets
fair enough, but also largely not the point
you are framing it as a purely economical issue in the world of "markets", while japs are coming from the ethical position of "fairness" of getting something that's sold for free (see also: NoA trying to convince to pack in wii sports for free and NoJ resisting)
this is just a completely different axis of interpretation, which can be argued from an ethical angle as well (such as massive markup compared to japanese magazines and volumes), but always circling back to that one gaben quote and how legit markets spring up from gray markets is simply missing the point
