Stop pirating games bros!!!!
stop posting twitter shit, I'm not reading it fuck you
Never
>>739998595just for that i'm pirating it then uninstalling it without playing it even once
You can just straight up add another mina thread no stealth required, only 2 or 3 up out of 5 so far.
>>739998595I can't afford to spend money on something I can get for free, if I end up liking the game a lot I'll consider buying it to support the devs.
>>739998595just pirated it 10 more times (i have no intention of ever playing this garbage)
I always brag about being a piratechad because it makes moralfags mad.Of course I will pirate any indie game even if it costs only 1 dollar, but I won't pirate mina, that game looks like shit.
>>739998654>I'll considerso you're not buying itif you wanted to buy it you would buy it you wouldn't "consider" it.
>>739998595Privacy is theftAnd theft is for third worlders White men don’t pirate
>>739998595There's probably like 50 extremely poor people who did it followed by some based anons who just don't want to pay.
>>739998595I boughted it and pirates deserve free games
>>739998595>paying for any form of entertainment YIKES!!!
they enabled BLM to rape the country so I'll enable pirating their gay ass gameboy color game
>>739998751But you shan't pirate indie games, you simply shan't.
not paying $20 for a GBC game
>>739998595I mean I agree. I can't afford a $20 dollar game, and that certainly stems from bigger problems in my life. Whatever. When I get rich I'll buy the games I like, but I'm pirating all my shit till then. It's not a morally superior position, but it's all I've got. I think if you have a large disposable income and pirate games anyway, you might be an even bigger piece of shit than me, though.
Broen third world gamers: "dude, why the fuck are devs putting denuvo and more and more draconian drm in their games, mayn"Also brown third world gamers when they see a 20 dollar indie game:>
You can refund a game on Steam."I-i-i'm just t-t-t-esting!" does no longer apply. Pirates kys.
>>739998595seething about pirates will never not be retarded>this guy who would have never payed for the game anyway is playing it without paying>no, it has no consequence for anyone, since it's not even a lost sale, they used their own infrastructure for the traffic, and I don't know if the guy even really exists, but I will seethe about it anyway
>>739998595sorry but i'm jewish, spending money goes against my religionshalom
>>739998595I'm merely taking back the money they gave to BLM.
>>739998595i didn't pirate the game neither did i buy it
>>739998935spending your money you mean
>>739998650Fucking lol, why did this get me so good
>>739998595I haven't pirated a game in well over a decade. Steam is so convenient there's just no point pirating shit.
>>739998595>Waaah stop pirating you parasites!!!!
It's scummy, but do people really think they are going to change others by preaching at and guilt tripping them?
Screencap of other site outrage thread. Videogames.
Ban twitter screencap threads
what if i just didn't want to give 20 dollars to yatch club instead?
>>739998595>devs remove demo before release I will now pirate your game.
>>739998595>Le brown people are to blame for everythingI remember once Game of Thrones was super popular, which is the ultimate white mans jerk off fantasy show, someone published which countries pirated it the most and it was all first world countries.Stop pretending that you are above stealing you mayo monkey.
>>739998595>It's a $20 game. You don't have a right to itHMMMM
>>739998595>You dont have a right to it.Yes I do. You disagree because that's the only thing you can do
i pirated it and played it for 17 minutes and i dont think i'll ever touch it again
>>739998595I'm not paying $20 for a Gameboy colour game
>>739999093Why not?GBC is a great system.
>>739999050We pirate it because we dont want to pay. Thirdies pirate because they cant pay. It's not the same situation at all.
>>739998595Piracy isn't theft. I am fed up of faggots with unshakeable conviction in their own moral superiority telling other people how to behave. The solution is to let people lend their digital platform games to friends like we used to with physical, but we live in such an ultra-jew world that you don't even own the game when you "buy" it to begin with. So lead by example Fag Club.
>>739998998Kek, this is hillarious.
>>739999186The guy in the OP never mentioned theft though, just parasitism.
>not the multimillion companyLast game I bought was mobile suit baba only because its not on pirating sites
20 dollars? Sorry bro i only good 2.
brb pirating it and seeding to 10.0 sharing is caring
>>739998595Bold of him to assume that I even want to pirate this shitShovel Knight was kino but Mina looks like utter dogshit
>>739998595I will pirate and if it's good I'll buy it, you can't bamboozle me
>>739999220It's called inference anon and quite often it is obvious.
>>739999298You can be a parasite without stealing though.
>>739998705Problem? I've bought lots of games after pirating them, first.
>>739998595It's not indie anymore. It's been developed by a has-been dev company that wasted their money on anthro porn
>>739999337How?
>>739998595I'm not even going to pirate the faggy mouse game until shovel knight dx comes out. Can't understand why yacht club wasted all that time.
>ANOTHER thinly veiled Mina seethe threadHow does she do it? Are the chuddies okay?
>>739999147I agree but it's not the 90s anymore
>>739999371Wdym how?You can be a parasite by abusing systems or people (social security, your parents etc.), but it's not outright theft.
>>739998595>ITS ONLY 20 DOLLARS
>game is selling so well chuds can't even deny it anymore>their next tactic?>looking up random twitter posts about pirating
Yacht niggas are notoriously bad with money so there is nothing wrong with not giving them any
>>739999409I'm asking you how to explain parasitical behaviour isn't a form of theft because so far you haven't been able to do so.
>>739998915They often brag about it the devs. And it isn't just one guy, it's an entire organization. How would you feel if a bunch of people got together and said that you shouldn't get paid for your job?
THE DEVS ARE LOSING OUT ON MY 20 DOLLARS AS WE SPEAK
The $15 I spent on Shovel Knight ten years ago was instead forwarded to BLM, so my pirating Mina The Hollower is an effective refund for spending my money in ways I don't approve of.
Howw did we get to the point where over half of posts and over 90% of OPs do not represent the opinion of their posters?
>>739999467I just did you blind retard >>739999409
>>739998595>pirate animes>pirate music>pirate youtube videos (ublock)>pirate softwaresBut pirating le indie video games is where they draw the line?
>>739999480>GOGIf you don't even need a crack it can't be considered piracy. It is purely just sharing.
>>739999506If you think that answers How then good luck to you.
>>739999503because all the oldfags left for 8ch a decade ago and they never came back. So now only bots and schizos who want to be known as "the one who killed [game threads he doesn't like]"
>>739999538It does.Concession graciously accepted.
>>739998595Everyone dislikes capitalism until they have something to lose.It's funny how prevalent this is in the indie dev communities. I remember how everyone mocked NFTs because you can just save or screenshot the files, how everyone said they support Copyleft (real license, it's free and all content made using it must be free) instead of Copyright.Then AI came and now everyone cries about GitHub stealing their code, cries about how their art is being stolen and so on.Likewise I've seen many people talk about piracy openly only to start criticising it and trying to justify it to mainstream games but not their indie games. As soon as it's taken from them, they start crying about it.
The USN pirates ships on the seas.I should be allowed to pirate programs on the internet.
>>739999537Getting a digital product without paying is piracy do matter if it has drm or not.Besides, cracking Steam "drm" is a copy and paste these days.
Piratefags are partly responsible for the rise of live service/gaas/gacha games.You can't pirate an always online game after all.
>>739998595Downloading data without consent is ok when corpos or the feds do it but when I do it is not ok?Fuck you I'll do it
>>739999629You're right in the sense that nobody wants to play those games anyway, so why would you pirate something you aren't concerned with?It combats piracy by starving pirates of media. But this is actually a good thing because fewer games worth pirating means more time to spend on your actual life.
>pirating indie games
>>739999629Funcom was so buck broken by The Longest Journey piracy they never made an offline game since, which is fucking hilarious.
>>739999472there are an assload of people at my job who just copy paste my work, and I don't get a single penny from them.I don't really give a shit. I could take measures to prevent them from doing so, but what would I gain out of that? they could no longer just copy paste it, but I wouldn't get a single extra penny and all I did was create extra work for me to maintain whatever anti piracy measure I put into place
>>739998595what if it's actually worth much less than a 20
>>739999708I bought Shovel Knight, I'm entitled to Mina for free since Shovel Knight was funded by Kickstarter to begin with.
>>739998859>brown third world gamersJust say 'American'
>>739998734I'm sure it sounded good in your head Rakesh.Also >privacy
I'll pirate it out of spite. Twice even.
where is the crack btw
why yes I'm a greedy parasite how could you tell
>>739999714The part you're missing is that you're still ultimately paid for your work regardless of how many people copy you.
>>739998595sorry I will not do it again
>download pirated version>copy folder>paste 5 times on 5 different folders>just cost yacht club games 100 dollarsi will do it again. you can't stop me

If you can't afford a 20 shekel latte (with extra cream) from starbucks maybe you shouldn't drink coffee at all hmmmmmmm?
>>739999826[account based in is-
>>739999629You can pirate gachas and get all the waifus for free almost as easily as you could grab the .pngs from google images. People don't do it because they enjoy the hunt.
>>739999629>You can't pirate an always online game after all.What? every single gacha game in existence as a cracked and everything unlocked offline version. Idiot.
>>739998652Apparently people are not buying Mina the Hollower?I can't put it into words how sick of these people I am.It's a $20 indie game. You don't have a right to it. If you can't afford $20, you've got bigger problems clearlyStop being greedy parasites
>>739999708based hobby ngl
>>740000059>>740000090You can't though.The only thing you could do is maybe scrape the image files for 2D autobattler shit, but with any 3D gachas you're fucked. And even then it's not the same. You'd only have the images but with no gameplay to make use of said images they are worthless.Also pretty sure almost none of the 3D gachas have any offline version that's actually worth your time.
>priced appropriately>no DRM>no Denuvo>not GaaS>literally everything /v/ will say is good developer practice>rewards that by pirating and directly giving the mega studios and publishers more leverageLmao.
Pirate it and give the 20 dollars to a homeless black man insteadIt's what the devs would want
I pay for the internet, this entitles me to everything available on the internet. Sasuga indie dev, should have taken that Blackrock money.
>>739998595This game is so ass I don't even want to pirate it
>>740000382Shouldn't have donated to BLM.
>>739998595Pirates wouldn't go broke from one game. They'd be poor though if they didn't pirate all the games they played. Unless they're thirdies, then yeah one game would probably break the bank.
>>740000546>should have taken that Blackrock moneyYou mean they never got larry fink's good goy points? They were just giving niggers money for absolutely free?
>>740000382Piratefags are faggots who will pirate no matter what. All of that are just excuses to avoid making themselves look bad.
>>739998595Twenty dollars is a lot of money in this economy.

>>739999394And?
>>739999624>Getting a digital product without paying is piracy do matter if it has drm or not.So you think free games are "pirated"?Lol, lmfao
I put it on my wishlist, gonna play it 10 years later just like I did Shovel Knight
>>739999999
>>740000819No, since they are put up for free.I was talking about products with an asking price higher than 0 but thanks for pointing it out!
>>740000857newnigger
>>739998998dis one always makes me smile
I'm not pirating it, I'm preserving it.BIG difference, and you should thank me for the effort, libshit.
>>739998595Yes, they have bigger problems like rent. That's why they pirated mina the hollower so they have something to do and pass the time with during their wagie mandated weekends What an insufferable take OP has
>>740000920Not what your previous definition said. Mind clarifying what you think again?
>>740000672>excuseslooks like you're dealing with half hearted pirates who feel shame in doing what they do. at this point i feel nothing. i live for the booty and plundering. if your software has a price tag on it, i simply must have it for free
>Donate to kickstarter to develop a game>Devs decide to donate your money to causes you didnt agree to>Somehow that isnt stealingSee typically id feel a little bad but begging for money to develop a game and then donating shit to BLM is just bad setting a bad example for your fans who are now justified in their piracy
>>739998595It could cost 1 cent and there would still be people out there pirating it, they're just not going to buy it. No need to get worked up over things that can't be changed.
>>740001161We all know you didn't hear about any of this until last week when your favorite grifter told you
>>739998595This is extremely racist
>>739998595I always pirate media when I can>if you can't afford-I can, I just like taking it from people that don't like me
>>739998595People work a whole month for 20 dollars. Does that mean these people dont deserve happiness?
created a bat file that downloads the torrent 700 times a second and deletes it.I'm up to about 4.2 million copies downloaded since 2 hours after it released on steam.deal with it nigger.
>>739998595cant wait till i get a actually working pc and only play old games i own and mods and emulation spiting even harder than piracy cus then i dont have to keep buying hdds all of this nonsense is to keep ppl from pirating and staying on old os lmao fucking kikes
They will lose less money if they patch in Titties and Ass

ah yes, the classic Moral Compass V Free Will intellectual debate. very stimulating and thought provoking mmn yess indeed.
>>740001232Yes, developers are THAT scummy keeping important stuff like this secret.
>>740001446>this thing they posted publicly on twitter was a secretare you fucking retarded?
>>740001349>your isplol, lmaoYou don't pirate your internet?
>>740001337Frick you firstie. I'm moving to your country. Tired of this shit.
I not only pirated mina the hollower but I'm also the guy who uploaded it first. Hello!
Pirating indie games is more morally acceptable because you're stealing less ambitious work of fewer people in general.
>>739998595It's about time started paying the players who spend their precious time playing modern games.
>>740001552whats your scene name then?
>>740001573Morals aren't real.
>>739998595is this a cope because the game had a CCU of 12k players on steam? because that doesn't mean piracy, even fucking deltarune isn't done yet got 120k players last year.
They keep telling me that 1 piracy = 1 lost sale, so I pirated MTH a billion times- but YCG is still operating!
>>740001602Don't worry about it. The cs.rin.ru mods deleted the thread within 5 minutes of release so I personally wrote up one of the moderators and directly threatened to bot their site for gatekeeping and then he made the thread almost instantly and then I posted it.
>>740001446Chuds are fucking golems

>>739998851based relativist
>>739998595I wish I pirated it, now I'm kinda locked into finishing it despite really not being that into it.
>>740001653gnarly dumped it on reddit an hour after it came out. cs rin is faggots.
>>740001880This all happened in under an hour of release. I got a 3 day ban over it because the cs.rin.ru mod was also a 4chan janny.
>>739998851>It's not a morally superior positionSo what would be an example of a "morally superior position"? Isnt it just a preference?
>>739999708>buying indie games
>>740000326>he thinks every time he taps the screen while doing his dailies the input gets processed in Korea like it's a real game bruh in some gachas you can even edit your save file
>>739998595I will now pirate your game, finish it, buy it on steam, leave and negative review and refund it.
>>740000326>You'd only have the images but with no gameplay to make use of said images they are worthless.What gameplay? Tapping the "PULL!" button? What the fuck?
i pirated it earlier, got about 10 minutes in and realized it sucks as much as SK and stopped playing
>>739998595I see a twitter screencap threadI subscribe
>buy it because they deserve it!>pirate it because they deserve it!I pirate if I feel like it. I buy if I feel like it. it's the developer's job to cater to me and if they cannot succeed I will steal their product.
>>740002218Piracy isnt theft, it's piracy.
>caring about morality on the internet
>>740000643i havent seen mad men but that utterance is insane. women have money or their husbands money and products targeted at women obviously brought in a shit ton of money historically as they were doing a lot of the purchasingits not like pears and oscar meyer were going HEY THERE MAN WHO DOES THE HOUSEWORK AND COOKS FOR THE FAMILY, WANT TO BUY SOME STARCH SO YOU CAN DO THE HOUSEWORKthey were going 'the smart wife cooks with crisco. it is economical. it is wholesome. it is of the highest quality. and it stretches your grocery further than any other shortening or oil available.'
copyright and IP law are spooks. If I can make a copy for free then why shouldn't I? I don't get a physical disc and box and instruction manual its just a copy of software. it should be a good thing that people get to experience your art without any cost to you
>>740002396>x is a spook>proceeds to spook
These threads always make me sad. It's just full of people either bragging about stealing, or people using mental gymnastics and semantics to pretend they're not doing anything wrong. All you have to do to know that piracy is wrong is to make a digital product and watch people take it without paying. The cope fog immediately goes away. I'm sure this post will get hateful replies. Go on. Do your worst.
>>740002628what are they stealing? nobody is losing anything
>>740000382>priced appropriatelyShould be 5-10, 20 is way too much for what it offers.
>>739998595she should tell that to microslop and Nvidia. they're allowed to steal but not anyone else
>>740002628I have only released freeware games so no I dont get that feeling.
>>740002628Like I said >>739999564Everyone is for piracy until it's their shit getting pirated.Personally, I don't care. I don't think it's morally wrong at all. It's simply copying and pasting data. Just like I don't think AI code or art is wrong, it's simply parsing and processing data en masse. Data centres are a different topic from AI though.Crying about it is retarded. They simply wouldn't play your game if they couldn't pirate it. They're a different economic system and trying to pretend they're costing you economically in a system they don't operate in is retardation.
>>740002628It's true that a lot of people don't know what it's like to put an enormous amount of effort into a single project.That being said, open source software exists. Plenty of people work extremely hard without wanting to be renumerated.
>>739998595$20 is the low-end AA price point. Indies should be generally under 10 and maybe reach 15 if they're amazing. Know your place, indie dev.
>>739998595Nope, I prefer pirating anything I can and throw more money into index funds instead so I can retire years earlier. Imagine what a tard you have to be to consooom and then have to retire later than the pirate chads.
>>740002802AI art isn't wrong because it's stealing it's wrong because it circles the drain of creativity. It robs the creator of the intense pleasure one gets from actually creating something and it robs the consumer of the ability to connect with other people through art.
>>740002628Next time don't be a proud commiefornian niggerlover then maybe I'll buy your game.
Pirate the game, buy the merch if I like it
>>740002871This is the most pretentious bullshit you artfags love to harp on about.There's no "intense pleasure" for someone that can't draw for shit, is demoralised by how little they can make or how bad it looks. And there's no fucking connection to other people through art, you appreciate art because it looks beautiful.I don't and you don't give a fuck if a beautiful painting was made by some autistic paint obsessed man in 2017 or some depressed world war 1 veteran in 1932. You care about it because it's a nice painting to look at, that is simply all.Anything else is being little cunt trying to appear cultured.
Devs pirate 20k usd and gave them to blm, so I’m in my right not to give them money lest they give them to criminals again
>>740002628>>739999564>>740002802Every dev complaining about piracy that you see is either a terminally online retard or is trying to get reach by baiting people. That one tranny crying about lost sales that you reposted on 4chan for laughs? Chances are your thread started a game of telephone, making trips on various discord servers with more and more of the context torn away from it, eventually bringing tangible sales to the thing you tried to mock.
>>740003026>And there's no fucking connection to other people through art,wrong
>>740003026>I wasn't good immediately therefore there's no pleasure to be had!Bet you play games on easy.If what you say is true, there's no reason to consume art, the world has plenty of beauty in very high definition. Art is cool because it's gone through another person's mind. Whether you realise it or not, you are connecting with them. Same is true of books. Hell, I'm connecting with YOU right now even if it's in some minor, abstract way. I wouldn't have that experience if your post was written by an LLM.
>>740002628The only way I would feel ripped off is if the people copying it are then making a buck off it. Other than that no I don't give a fuck. It's my pleasure if someone else finds anything I make helpful.
If you could replicate food or clothing or tools or anything for free, everybody would love it and it would be a great thing. when it comes to entertainment that wrong because it cost someone money at that point therefore they deserve money for it forever and you can't recreate it because they thought of it first sorryyyy

You'd never know, because you simply don't care about the origin or the creator, you care about what's in front of you.>art is cool because it's gone through another person's mindThen AI art is cool too then. Another person thought of that image, they described what's in their mind in words, gave it to a machine and hand curated what output they want to share. Maybe they tried different models, maybe they tried different descriptions, maybe they had the machine iterate on it again to closer resemble their thoughts.Unless it's made and posted by a bot, AI art has went through someone else's mind.
>>740003290>And what if this is wrote*written.That's how I know AI didn't write this post.
Piracy is a huge litmus test for devs and this faggot failed.You make a piece of art, would you not want as many people to experience it as possible? You give people an option to support your work by releasing it thru a storefront / publisher. Pirates are doing you a favor by showing it to everyone else.This furfagbait game looks so bland and shit that I lost my interest after looking at 2 screenshots let alone pirate it. Nigga should be happy people are playing it.
>>740002829if you need a financial incentive to make art then you shouldn't make it. for thousands of years people would make art out of passion and would not expect financial gain, there are many painters who only gained recognition after death
pirates need to learn to shut up again. otherwise we lose romsites and gits when lawyers get involved.
>>739998595>meanwhile slay the princess devs outright tell you to pirate it if you can't afford it
>>740003290>I usually play on the hardest difficultyThen you know that it's fun to be good at something. I prompted my poor GPU into pieces for years before starting to learn how to draw and fuck me there's so much more pleasure to be had versus just typing and refining an ouput.>And what if this is wrote by a LLM?For starters, I'd be impressed. For seconds, I'd look for conversation elsewhere. I mean if you're fine with it why not browse an imageboard populated entirely by LLMs?>Then AI art is cool too then. Another person thought of that imageA prompt is just that, a prompt to have something else do it. They had the outline, the very abstract, and then they moved from there. I can see your point but it's like 1% their mind 99% the model. If I tell a friend to draw me a picture of a girl holding a balloon - their mind had a lot more to do with the outcome than mine.

>>739998859piracy has no proven impact on sales yet publishers keep agreeing to denuvo deals. out of touch boomers are intentionally making the experience worse for paying customers to prevent a hypothetical loss, and you're blaming pirates? we went through more than thirty years of PC games being shipped without kernel accessing built in anti-cheat bullshit, but now that they have a cheap devil to cozy up with, you're swallowing the narrative.and for what? what do you even gain from defending corporate leeches from your anonymous peers? projected moral superiority? a chance to call someone brown or poor? is all that really worth your hobby being made actively worse for everyone by people who only see you as a number?

>>740002628USN pirates on the seasI can also pirate on the internetFair game.
>>739998595I will buy Shovel Knight DX for Shovel Knight is a good game but I will not buy rat game because it is a bad game. Simple as.
>>739998595fuck you i do what i want nigger
>>739998915>who would have never payed for the game anywaythen why did he pirate it? clearly there was some sort of interest in the game.your argument doesn't make any sense.
>>739998595>some random fuck on twitter>IMG_
>>740003357Touche.>>740003509>good at somethingNot necessarily, I simply think that lower difficulties remove the game portion of them and leads it to either objective chasing or cutscenes.I get that drawing is more fun than AI art, I like drawing. I just don't think it's anything special outside of a cool hobby.>I'd be impressedFair enough. I've always wondered why nobody prompts their LLM to make spelling or grammar mistakes and whatnot, they're all pretty easy to clock imo.>prompt to have something else do itRight but it's basically becoming a product manager at that point. People love to give credit to decision makers, especially in gaming, for things they simply prompted other managers to prompt their teams to do. AI art is the equivalent of that to me.In any case, good conversation anon. I have to go but I wish you a good day :).
>Apparently people are pirating An Unpolished Turd Indie Game?yep. all day, every day. saved me $20 that I gladly spent on a different indie title.
keki downloaded that shit and i might not ever play itits like what 200mb ?
>>739998595That actually looks kinda neat, I might've brought it if it wasn't for the whining on twitter
>>7400037631gb
why do stupid mutts need to make everything a culture war?
>>740003763Don't forget to stay on the seed, torrentbro
>buy game>make a single copy of it on my desktop>they made a net 0 dollars because i made a copy of it>make 70000 copies of it>devs bankruptowned
>>739998595>scummy deeds beget scummy deedsoh the pottery
>>740002346I think it's more like "who cares, we will TELL them what they want and they'll want it."Which is exactly what happens.
>>740002628Fuck off gaylord. The only ACTUAL problem with piracy is when the pirated copy is then sold. Other than that, there is really no issue.
>>740003951what's scummy about an indie game being $20?
I used the money I stole pirating it to hire 10000 Chinese bot accounts to review-bomb it.
>>739998595>waaaah you dont have the rightdude, i’m a NIGGER. i dont give a SHIT. im gonna stab you and take your wallet
>>739998595I can understand being mad at pirates, but calling people parasites sure as hell isn't going to endear them to buying the game
>>739998595I'm black. My life matters. Thanks for the donation, dev.
>>740003385I get what you're saying but it's nice when a nigga can eat too.
>Pirate indie game>Buy triple A You wouldn't get it
>>739998595>if you can't afford $20, you've got bigger problems clearlynice one
>>739998705yep. cry about it. i’ve bought games (on sale lmfao) after having a pirated copy for years. i dont give a shit. im not gonna waste money if i dont have to. if that makes you mad it’s only a bonus KEK
>>740003716Cheers, you too!>clockbrit detected, LONDON
>>739998859>Broen third world gamers: "dude, why the fuck are devs putting denuvo and more and more draconian drm in their games, mayn"So... only third worlders complain about drm?
>>740003614somebody stop this sick fuck
>>740002628These sure are buzzwords.
>pirating video games>paying for video games>playing video games
I'll never give a single dime for leftists or americans, and they're both.I just bought astlibra instead, what I'm for?Is the dlc worth it?
>>739999429OOOH IM "CON"SOOMING
>>740004270why are you on the video games board?
>>740002346they literally cover this in the show and pretty blatantly go “WOMEN BE BUYING SHIT”, Roger is just a WW2 vet stereotype
of course he's too retarded to realize you can recieve gifts, have changing financial situations or own a 10+ year old computer.
>pirating a stupid little videogameTHIS IS THEFT! YOU ARE A BAD PERSON>literally funding retarded ghetto niggers to go around stealing sneakers and randomly attacking old white peoplewell, you see, they had mental illness and suffer from systematic autism and oppression bla bla bla fuckin bla
>>740004431I just don't see why anyone would care about some rando on Twitter whinging about piracy. Oh, they have a little bubble there that never reaches those who'd actually have their minds changed. What, you think telling a thief, "stealing is wrong" is going to stop them? Meh. Boring thread. Who the fuck moralizes piracy in this day and age like it's fresh "discourse?"
>>740003629My unsubstantiated belief is that piracy is like attention, it only hurts shitty games. If you're afraid of piracy it's because your game is shit and you don't want people to see that before they've given up their money. Just like if everyone calls a game shit, but it's good, it stays good. And if a game is given a lot of positive attention but it's bad, it stays bad, like concord or highguard.
>>740004158It's a really good gaslighting phrase. I used something similar when I rented a place.>time to pay rent>landlord says something like 520bux SEVENTY THREE CENTS>had no change>faggot started getting uppity about if>told him "bro if you need 73 cents that bad you got way bigger problems">faggot kept rounding down after that
>>740004431You left out being black. That shuts them up quickly.
>>739998595Software can be duplicated infinitely at no cost, so how can it have value? It's post-scarcity. We've created this amazing digital world where information and media can be shared freely with everyone in the world, think about how amazing this is. But instead of appreciating it, people want to destroy it. No amount of social shame will change my perspective on this.
>>740002628But did you have breakfast this morning?
>>740004572This isnt a piracy thread, it's an anti-mina thread The local minaschizo ran out of angles
>>740004707I don't mind privacy, but this is a ridiculously mypoic view that ignores that digital media takes resources to create. No service has value? Lmao, come on. Pirate all you like, but people gotta eat.
>>739998595
>>740004593i feel like this is a massive holdover from the Napster/Limewire fear mongering thing in the early 2000s. that was the mainstream’s first brush with mass piracy. software piracy has been a thing since day 1 but before the internet you had to know a guy who knows a guy, or be lucky to live near a market with a guy selling bootlegs. with CD .mp3 music piracy then it was as easy as copy and paste. the thing with videogames or otherwise more complex softwares like photoshop, is that it’s not that easy, it has to get cracked first, users need to know their sources, be able to recognise potential malware etc. to add to your point anon, i wanna say you’re 100% spot on. videogame piracy only worries retards who know their game is shit, instead of people buying and then finding out it’s shit.
>>739998874I dont think steam's refund policy is consumer-friendly enough, and I wouldn't say the same about dauphong's policy of "i post game for free you download and play and have fun" so I think I will go with that instead! :)
>mfw I buy 3 copies of Hogwarts Legacy Ultimate Edition at full price before pirating all the latest troonslop indie roguelite deckbuilders about depression
>>739998595>Stop pirating games bros!!!!No.
>>740002702if you took away a pirate's means to pirate, those pirates (at least the majority) would probably spend money on video gamespiracy is an issue because it costs the industry potential salesyou might think "oh I just wouldn't play that game if I couldn't pirate it", and that's all well and goodbut let's be real; most of them wouldn't find another hobby they'd actually spend money on games and just grumble about the fact that their choices went from thousands of games to whatever they could afford
>>740004841>the thing with videogames or otherwise more complex softwares like photoshop, is that it’s not that easy, it has to get cracked first, users need to know their sources, be able to recognise potential malware etc.By and large I've stopped pirating PC games mainly to avoid having to think about things like malware. This is contingent on the game being reasonably priced for how much I desire them of course. I think the only PC game I've pirated in the last few years is Crusader Kings 3.
>>739998734Don't try to slavelate to me subhuman.
>>740004158>>740004601Doesn't this work both ways though?>Why do you need my $20, are you that desperate?
>>740005242Yep, pretty much.
>>739998734>White men don’t pirate>anglos aren't whitefinally a post I agree with
>>739999421>he bought a bent nail for 4000 burgers
>>739998595>Pirates game>DON'T PIRATE THE GAME!>Okay>Doesn't buy the game>WTF WHY DIDN'T YOU SPEND MONEY ON THE THING YOU PROVABLY WON'T SPEND MONEY ON!???Why do retards think that piracy is some sort of magical spell that buys a product for 0 dollars? It's piracy, if someone wanted to spend money on the game they would've just bought it.
>>739999421>neocommie spending 4k+ money on a ring
>>739998595if this was written by a jap everyone on xitter would go nuts
>>740005927By limiting your entertainment, you're spending your money on SOMETHING is the point. Even if it's not that specific game. Very few pirates would just quit gaming if piracy is not an option. Or they'd be padding out numbers on f2p games which still benefits corporations even if they're not spending a dime.
>>739998859Yeah thank god that DRM is a thing, stopping those pesky pirates from pirating the game they aren't buying anyways!Imagine the extra sales we can make by targeting an audience with neither the cash or will to buy the game!
>>740006023If some nigga is going to pirate your game, they're unlikely to buy ANOTHER game you are selling. All you're doing is shifting their attention from your library of games (potential sales via word of mouth) to a COMPETITORS library! Lmao.
>>739998785Just saying, the one who raped the country are the rich who moved all jobs and structures to ChinaNiggers happened to be a nice distraction
Honesty why the fuck would you even bother to pirate it? 20$ is an extremely low price to warrant pirating.
>>740006110Yeah if you're from the first world with a good job $20 is less hassle but that could feed a family in Nicaragua for 2 weeks
>>739998595kill yourself attention seeking xwitter tranny
>>740006023not how the world works or have ever worked but somehow its real in your head
>>739998851I'm allowed to pirate games because I was born and live in a poor countrythat $20 indie game is actually $80 for me, relatively speaking. why should I pay 4x more than an amerifaggot just because I was born in a different spot on the planet? In fact, I should pirate it. It's the moral decision given the publishers refuse to give me a regional price.deal with it.
i dont pirate shit games
It's morally right to pirate this game, more morally right than pirating a lot of other games actually
>>739999421Using women like Hasan is cheating
>>740003695if I was a developer I'd be happy that a 10 year old brazilian kid decided my game looked fun enough to pirate. lots of piracy means lots of sales. it's a symbiotic relationship.
>>740006148Eh? Why they don't pirate food in Nicaragua? Are they dumb?
>>740006301Too right, they should be stealing games and pirating food
>>739999629Live-service/gacha/gaas got popular because it makes more money due to the long-lasting inflow of cash they have, compared to a more traditional singleplayer/multiplayer game. Piracy has nothing to do with it.With Gacha/Gaas, etc, you can keep a player playing your game for years, even a fucking decade and once they have bought some skins and shit they'll be hooked for ages.You outright can't do that with AVP2010, or Deus Ex, or Homeworld.
>>739998734That's right goy, white men never cross lines, never take advantage, never cheat, cuss, say nigger or make woman uncomfortable.
>if you are poor you should not have funwhy are leftist libtards like this? if i said i was poor struggling black man just stopped drugs and pirated the game i would get 1000 upvotes on reddit
>>739998595I only buy good games. How am I supposed to know your game is good before I play it?And once I've played it, I don't really need to buy it anymore because I've finished it.It's like a catch-22.
>>739998595I have my 10 server rigs all set up to pirate the game, delete the file, then pirate it again. I'm pirating the game approximately every 8 seconds.This is about ten thousand times a day, meaning I am costing them two hundred thousand dollars a day. I'm going to keep this up until they are beyond bankrupt.
>>739998595I thought the progressive left was pro-communism? what happened tranny sisters?
sorry but i pirated the game and donated the 20$ to BLM, this is what the devs wanted
>>740003695cause it was free u absolute retard. if i enter a store and they serve some samples i could test them cause they are free not cause i was interested in buying them. if i liked them then i will decide if i will shoplift said item or not.
