Explain to me your rational behind pirating games.Be honest. I don’t judge
>>740461646I’m brown, poor and considering transitioning
>>740461646I'm evil
>>740461646Mei Er... My Mei Mei... She's important to me.
I simply don’t want to spend money if I don’t have to. I have 50k in savings and make good money but why drain it if I don’t have to
>>740461646I don't want to pay for them, so I download them from a website that circumvents storefronts and gives me the game to play for free.
>>740461646I actually don't. I got plenty of bought games and pirating games means having to download a bunch of shit. If it's a flavor of the month game that I need to experience NOW to understand the memes and lore then I just watch it on Youtube
>>740461748>gamers when there’s no yellow paint
It's free
Pirates are the based sojourns of modern society.
>>740461802why aren't you investing?
>>740461884lol
>>740461646I fucking love this cat so much
>>740461646I don’t need to explain anything to you, or anyone else.
>>740461996Because I’m stupid and don’t know how to or where to learn
>>740461646It's easy, free and makes me own the game for real, not just a licence to play it. I can just copy and store the game on an external drive then uninstall and install as many times as I want, I can delete it or mod it, or do whatever the fuck I want with it, I have full ownership over it.
>>740461721Yeah i'm an E33 fan like you too
>>740461646I don't want to pay for them.
>>740461646Spiting raiding toxotrannies that spam the catalog with low effort engagement bait and template threads.
>>740462160Ban evading is against the rules
>>740462008Wtf is wrong with that cat lol
>>740461646There's infinite supply it's literally data, why should I care beyond kikes telling me you can't do that
>>740462160>raidingSays the shartyfag. 4chan has always been and always will be a cat website.
>>740461748imagine a cat so orange it made its friend retarded too
>>740462174lmao
>>740462008jesus, AI is getting too good
>>740461646I like trying the game before I buy it. I bought a bunch of games I really like.
>>740461646I'm just duplicating 1s and 0s, what's the big deal
Broken windows theory for me. When developers stopped respecting me I stopped respecting the industry.
>>740461721fpbp
>>740462174>western developers not giving gamers what they want and wondering why they are closing their studios
>>740462496that's not ai tho
I'm a game aficionado, my vidya experience mustn't be tainted by feelings of financial investment or sunk cost fallacyFor me games are apples hanging on the tree, mine to take, enjoy, and discard as I please, I don't care if the tree is on public land or owned by anyone, and I don't suffer the bitter smiles of the person who paid $300 for a gimmicky restaurant dinner and has to justify the expense to themselves Can you ever really say your view of a game is true if you hold the doubt of post-purchase rationalization in your mind?
I don't want to waste my money gambling on whether a game will be good or not. I think the idea of customers being expected to take this risk is ridiculous at the core. It incentivizes deceiving customers.
>>740462686doggy :>
>>740461646Pirating is a crime.And the victim of this crime are the CEOs, most of which are jewish and hate me.Therefore pirating is the morally right thing to do.
>>740462762
paying for games is irrational behavior
>>740461646After all why not?Why shouldn't I keep it?
>>740462762:)
Why pay if I can get it for free
>>740462160This anon is right I thought this was gonna be about the topic but some of you guys are just posting cat shit with no text.
>>740462820Chadrantula
>>740461646I've impulsively bought enough games from those companies that I barely played to even it out
>>740462762very cute
I don't have money, but i still want to play the game.
>>740461646I need the money to buy more beer
>>740462891Your samefagging wouldn’t be so blatant if this thread wasn’t basically all discussion with one rando posting cat videos.Stay on topic or cry and get put in time out again
>free>zero effort>no consequencesi would engage in literally any activity that met these three standards
>>740463008nigga shut the fuck up and stop posting cat shit
>>740463092Seethe, loser
>>740461646I just don't know anymore if a game is good or not. So I pirate them sort of like a full game demo. If I like it I buy it, usually at the price I consider "fair" according to the game quality. I bought many games full price and expensive special editions, even multiple times on multiple platforms, I cluding merchandise because I really like them.
>>740463023Based and riverwatersockpilled
>>740463023>no consequencesPretty sure American courts told ISPs that they don't even have to care anymore if piracy happens. So those dumb warnings in the mail are gone too
>>740463273>Third countryAnon u brown?
>>740463434did you mean "third world country" there pal?
>>740462621I swore I saw that same video with dogs, but it turns out I'm just retarded
>>740462827wholesome :)
>>740461646Cat delivered.Category A:>no demo>game is too long / too much of a slow-burn to justify playing and returning within the return window>just curious about the game and want to try it out while I wait for a sale>I heard the game's shit (fuck you, Salt & Sacrifice)Category B:>dev's long gone so some bank or some abusive parent company gets the money instead of the people that worked on it>dev was bought out by someone I don't like>I just don't like the dev/publisherCategory C:>game's on a platform I don't like enough to buy>it's on a retro platform that's a collectable at this point>the game's rare / expensive>don't wanna have to mod a system just to be able to run it on a modern TVCategory D:>game/DLCs never go on sale>game (and probably DLC) is expensive by default>just overpriced in general>it's got way too much not-shit DLC I'd actually want>>740463656That's a video of some dog with some muscle issues who flops over to his bowl and immediately detonates it all over the floor trying to eat it.
>>740463273im a bingbonger so never even had one of those letters, never even needed a vpn here either for some reason
>>740461646I'm not going to do that, it's not a good moment to do that yet. But I will say, I would prefer not to... As Gabe Newell said "Piracy is a Service problem", and the question to ask if you want to see things my way is "which service is the problem?"I do try to avoid pirating games that are currently being sold, and I do buy games from devs I want to support.
>get into Rocksmith>turns out 90% of the songs I want to buy/play are no longer available due to loicensing issues on a 12 year old game>the people who make custom DLC aren't allowed to remake those songs due to an agreement with Ubisoft>sail the 7 seas and find those songs anyway
>>740463527No, cause I assume you have 2 functioning brain cells and know what I mean.
>>740461646Me liek steal.
>>740463906No, I don't know what your post means
>>740464010You just proved you did but do whatever you want. I'll keep watching the kitties
>>740464006u go to the jail now, for the stealings
>>740461646no demo
can some remake this thread later without the catfags shitting it up
>>740461646I'd rather use money to light a cig.
>>740464417I'd ask if you could get any more pathetic but it's simply not possible.
>>740464417me not caring
>>740461748It looks like those cats were lacking in some upbringing.
>he assumes i'd ever pirate anythingYou're worse than the pirates
>>740461646Paying for games only makes sense when the money reaches people who made them. These days I'm playing games from 20+ years ago made by companies that no longer exist. Spending money on them is stupid, none of the devs will see this money, I'm only enriching kike ip rights holders.I do buy new games if I like them though.
>>740463864the service problem is that buying a game doesn't mean you own it anymore>launcher required>account required>servers required>DLC delisted>music licenses expire>patch removes content>company folds and game vanishesAt that point piracy is just the version that still works. If they want people to pay, sell a complete offline installer and stop treating every customer like a temporary renter.
enemies can open doors
doors are the enemies!
>>740461646I don't want to waste money on something I can get for free.
>>740464923>google aigood morning sarrr
An object intrinsically does not change whether you paid for it or not. Payment is merely an obligation to the social contract, not nature's law.
>>740464923>anti cat is a street shittersaaaaar
Cats were revered in ancient Egypt
>>740465154And where did that get the Egyptians?
>>740465236Eternal meme status
>>740461646If I really like the game I buy it to support the team behind it. Unfortunately, rarely do I enjoy games. DELTARUNE was the last game I had pirated and then I bought it after playing through the entire thing because I loved it so much.
>>740465236A rich, world-renowned, highly respected and referenced pantheon.
>>740465236>And where did that get the [people who were arguably the most prosperous and powerful civilization of their time]?Huh?
Limit money, i hate using steam Most games i play had their studio shut down years ago so who gives a fuck
>>740461646Piracy is a niche activity for skillchads only. Normies aren't going to wait through long pirate installs and download and install scene patches manually. The only company that needs to be concerned is Nintencrap because they're still selling NES roms from the 1980s.
>>740465464>>740465492I meant today. The Egypt of today is a corrupt poor shithole. Let this be a cautionary tale.
>>740461646im brown but i do like to buy original games just to have a fancy collection, specially if they are phisical, i just like to have everything tidy up and think to myself.>Yep, i got this with my own money.HOWEVERrecently i got so pissed off about how gay and shitty streaming platforms turned out to be so i got back to full on media piracy, i don't pirate games because i just can't think of anything to pirate atm, but trust me as soon as there is a safe and easy method to jailbreak my switch oled, im gonna pirate even the free app's.
>>740461646I only pirate games from systems that aren't for sale anymore. what else am I supposed to do?
>>740465687Do you think life is all about who has the most shekels per goy?
>>740465687Egypt will forever be remembered while your shithole will be forgotten.
>>740465687"The Egypt of today" no longer worships cat gods and are predominantly muslim.Sounds like another undisputable cat W, bro.
>>740465761Not being broke helps with life enjoyment and self-expression
>>740461646I pirated Shin Megami Tensei 1 because I wanted to play it in English and didn't have or know about cart dumpers. Hell, if I had known about the Super Stacker chip I would have used that instead. I'm also considering pirating Sega Saturn games in the future cause most games on that system are neo geo level priced
The real question is what is the rational behind buying a game. A fake sense of morality, goodwill and pride.
>>740465761It is about getting baited into internet arguments that threaten your sense of identity, and then spending hours going back and forth until the thread 404s with nothing to show for it at the end
>>740465873Yet the richest countries have plummeting birth rates, no one has any morals, no one has any principles, no one has any ambitions. It's no wonder no one in the West and Japan and South Korea want to have children. They've reduced life to nothing but its material aspect.
>>740461646A) First and foremost, I pirate games that are "DEI-first." I don't care to define it, you know what the fuck I mean. I make sure to share it to at least a 2.0 ratio so that it financially hurts the corporation, because I believe it is not enough that they are punished by ME not buying, I should help other people get it for free. B) If it is a game that I am interested in and it doesn't have a demo, I am going to pirate it to try it out. 2 hours on Steam isn't sufficient because the greedy corporations have started gaming the system where 2 hours isn't sufficient to properly showcase the game. I generally need at least 5 hours of gameplay before I make a decision. If I like the game, I will purchase it. If I do not, I will not. Examples of games I have purchased after pirating: CK2, AoW 4, Resident Evil 2: Remake, Civ 6, Fallout NV, Fallout 3, Cult of the Lamb, Doom. I have also skipped buying games like Doom: Eternal, Dying Light, the Pathfinder CRPGs, and some others that I can't recall at the moment.
>>740465687All good things must come to an end. In the meantime; Cats
>>740466220woah hold on guys we have a true gamer boy over here let's hope his fedora doesn't fall off his head
>>740464595He's probably teething.
>>740461646It's free real estate.
>>740466319I'm going to rape your mother.
>>740461646I like free shit
>>740466220>Doesn't like DEI>bought Cult of the Lamblmao
>>740466359let's hope you find your dick when looking down your gigantic belly tubby
>>7404616461. im cheap 2. i dont think non-indie devs need more money and i dont think i need to keep GAAS afloat 3. i actually do have 1 singular actual moral obligation which is putting any content behind deluxe editions or preorders and wont spend money on a game at all if they do this I usually only spend money for indie and autism games that aren't trying to sell a billion copies like BeamNG.drive or Anthology of the Killer.
>>740464750Happened to me with minecraft. Because I didn't migrate my account to microslop I lost access to a game I already paid for. So now I play a pirated copy.
>>740466393What's DEI about Cult of the Lamb? It's a celebration of depravity and the homosexual relationships you can enter have a strong element of coercive imbalance.>>740466439I'm a 500 lb tub of lard and my dick is a thick meaty sausage that's 9 inches wide and 7 inches in girth. I'm going to split your mother apart when I fuck her. Literally. She will cry and beg and scream as I force my way into her and then she'll have her vag split open, have the little flap of skin that separates her colon from her cunt tear, get sepsis and fucking die. Then I'll drop a fat shit into your fridge and leave.
>>740466647Kek I knew it you were a fatty, you can tell because fatties type in a very specific way
>>740466719I'm still going to rape your mom tho.
>>740466781good luck getting past your arch nemesis to her roomthe doorframe
>>740461646it's just habit, i don't really think about it
>>740465687All the white egyptians went to europe then all the white euros went to america, now all the white americans are going to mexico to get coding jobs and shoot cartel members
>>740466840I'll just grease myself up all hairy and bloated and greasy. Just slip on in and then rape her.
>>740464595Theyre still learning
>>740462118Elden Ring fan, actually
>>740461646>Explain to me your rational>rational not rationaleYou're not rational if you pirate games. Period.
>>740467775golem post
Societal breakdown has occurred, we are living in a time of great strife. I figure I can do whatever I want at the moment. No real reason other than that.
>>740461646They're good backups for physical games and it's free. I kinda do it in reverse; I'll pirate an old game, check it out, and if I love it I'll seek out a physical complete in box copy. I do a mix of buying and pirating, and I suspect that's most of us here in general. My main collection goal will be to own all the games on my 3x3 complete in box in their original releases.
>>740467214dumb baby
Don't give money to faggot companies or people funded by faggot companies.
>>740461646>cheaper>more convenient>more content>access to otherwise unavailable content like pre-ordered content>if the pirate community doesn't include the pre-ordered content, then I know the community decided it's not even worth it to bother with this, so I don't get FOMO >you can make an archive of the game at a certain version of the game without any issues, you don't have to reinstall it with the developer intended exe every time>pirating sites also allow me to discover games I have never heard of before>I don't financially support people, who want my race and gender to be dead/humiliated and destroy the Civilization my ancestors built and tried to savePirating is just more convenient and gives far better service. In a world, where Demos basically don't exist anymore, it's also a great way to just try out games without a time limit.
>>740461646I can try out any game I want, at this point I've played dozens of old classics, newer indie games, hidden gems on steam, and tons of games from /v/ charts. All free. If it wasn't for piracy, I would never even consider spending money on most of those games. Instead I would probably just drop $70-80 on the latest FOTM since at least I know it's gonna be a polished finished game and not early access indieslop. Piracy makes the full range of games available at your fingertips, even if you don't have that kind of money to spend.
i hate ((game developers))
>>740461646It's free shit, my bro
>>740464417Mad.
>>740461646Because I can. There are no repercussions. Been downloading and sharing warez since childhood. It's both easy and free.
>>740461646ironically i pirate because i like owning themi buy disk cases, print my own covers and make game copies the way i like them to bei can't do that with drm protected content, so tbqh i don't see the point to pay for it at all
>>740461646I don't even think about it, no normal person doesEvery time you're elders go on YouTube to look at Wwe or some old show, they're by definition participants of piracyIf corporations had it their way, you'd be charged money every time you post or view a reaction screenshot of their intellectual property The truth is that it does not matter, it is quite literally a victimless crime
>>740461646It's either a free sample, in which case I talk about the game, buy the game later or buy more games from that developer, or the publisher won't sell it to me competently and my money will not fund further development in the way that I want anyway.Not pirating in the modern post-digital, post-internet, post-high-speed-internet world isn't like taking something without paying for it, it's like not donating to Vtuber.
>>740461880A good start but you have ways to go still.>and pirating games meansPlaying worse games, statistically.>If it's a flavor of the month game that I need to experience NOWYou don't.There are so many free and abandonware games that the total can last you a lifetime. But yes, you need to download them before the few autists still hosting them die from old age. Bonus points if you put them into some seedbox for next generations to benefit from.
>>740464750>>music licenses expireSay what? I knew I got out before things got atrociously bad but I'm not even sure how that works. Do games just stop playing OSTs they come with after some amount of time?
>>740461646>all them cats
>>740461646Devs officially state that they don't need my money by delisting it in my region
>>740469189>>you can make an archive of the game at a certain version of the game without any issues, you don't have to reinstall it with the developer intended exe every timeEven better, you can get the original release and all the patches and make a primitive script that starts them all in succession with some command line parameter to make a full unattended installation by default. This way if there is something you or someone (a friend, a family member) doesn't like some change by some patch, that person can play exactly what he or she wants. The next step is modding the game to get the version everyone likes but that is usually not quite as trivial.
>>740472325That tends to happen when your country wants to invade and shit up even worse the rest of the world.
>>740461646I have pirated games probably for all reasons people use for and against piracy.I pirated because i had no money, i pirated because i didint want to pay. i pirated because my pc doesnt have a disc drive.but mostly I pirate games to try them out and delisted games.If i like the game I will eventually buy it.>>740462686Bless this doggo.

ESL moment
>>740461646I've been doing it for so long that even with enough disposable income I prefer pirating out of habit. It takes me less effort than inputting my payment information
>>740461646In an age where everything is half-assed, recycled, uninnovative, repetitive, anti-consumer, predatory, and woke, I feel it is necessary to try before you buy.
>>740471952I think I know similar case.I forgot what game but it's related to sony. Their license for sony vegas studio or something expires and the game ran without sound.
>>740461646Every single game is a cat in the bag. Woke devs are hiding niggerjewfaggot shit beyond the 2-hour refund window and they are certain to not put it in any demos.Ifna game interests me and I don't want to wait for someone to record a play through, I pirate it. If I like it I write with my wallet and purchase the game on steam.If it's not on steam, oh well, dev shot himself in the foot.
>>740473430
>>740461646I'm not gonna gamble on how pozzed the game I'm playing is. If modern devs can't control themselves and constantly shove gay shit in games so they can use it for their gay little culture war they're not entitled to my money.
>>740461646I plan on going to hell.
>>740461748

>>740461646it helps transition them into being culture instead of just consumerism.
>>740461646It is cheaper.
>>740461646Real answer? Because I don't want to buy a £70 game and find out I dislike it.Sure in Steam I can refund in the first two hours but I skip the entire process by playing the game and then buying it.
>>740461646No one understands that I'm the most important person ever and I deserve everything I want for free as compensation for having to share my world with people who aren't me.
>>740461646There is no rationale here. A normal pirate pirates, then consumes the media in question, then moves on & keeps quiet about it.On /v/, you have a faggot who absolutely cannot shut the fuck up about it.
>>740461646am egoistical
>>740461646I like to try before I buy. If I like the game enough I'll buy it, if not I'll simply drop it and not think about it again.
I don't want to spend money.
>>740461646I pirate when the IP holders don't want to sell their game to me.
>>740462174high ground bros, we got too cocky...
>>740461646easy and free and i don't want to spend money. sometimes i will buy game on sale though
>>740461646I rarely pirate PC games unless I just want to try the game. I've later bought most of the games I've pirated, such as Rimworld and AoE2. However, I always pirate Nintendo games, specifically older titles (nothing newer than GameCube) because these games are not possible to buy, and if they are, I'm not paying full price 2026 dollars to rent them from Nintendo. Simple as. I also think most romhacks are better than vanilla Nintendo games, especially Pokemon.
Cat threads don't hit as hard knowing that half the webms are possibly AI...
>>740461646Explain to me your rational behind paying for games that you can get for free. Reasoning explains behaviour, not the lack of.
>>740461646I'm not rich and I'm planning on becoming one so I save as much money as I can.
>>740462174>hero tries to save the villain>the villain betrays the hero's trust by trying to kill them>this causes the villain to dieKino, always.
>>740461646It's one of three circumstances.1. I already own the game on another platform, and do not feel remorse about getting it on PC.2. The game or the developers have, from my perspective, a bad reputation and I don't want to support them financially, but I might still try and see what all the fuss is about.3. It's a pornographic game. I have set a hard restriction on myself that I will never pay for porn.
>>740461646I would like to own the games I purchase and not "license" them.
>>740461646I pirate old games because I'm not giving money to faggots that collect these things just to price gouge. I don't get why people act like it's immoral when corporations do it to us, but act like these poor resellers and the original company who won't see a dime whether I buy it or not are victims
>>740462160If there's any raiding going on it's the sexless freaks who are spamming the same thread over and over again about their AI slopped gooner bait "game"
>>740461646Intellectual property is a spook, it isn't real. So copying files isn't theft. If I want a game, and don't think its worth the asking price, I just download a copy someone else has kindly shared over the internet. Most of the time I pay for games, its because I want to give the creator money, mainly because I hope it will encourage him to make more games like it. The other times its physical games, since physical discs are real, and therefor have value, plus I just like them. Digital games are worth less than toilet paper, at least I can wipe my ass with the latter.
>>740477847Yeah these threads were a lot better when it was genuinely funny videos/pictures of cats. Now it's 90% AI slop that doesn't even try to be believable.
>>740461646It's easy and free. I only support companies/games I genuinely like
>>740461646I buy all the good games from honest devs that aren't omega jews that make Skinner boxes filled with microtransactions.I pirate all the games that seem bad or mid but still want to try and buy them afterwards if I liked them. Gang Beasts was a very pleasant surprise.I pirate all the games that are not available in my country for whatever reason.Then there's the grey zone e.g. Warhammer Total War 3. I bought the base game because I love it but pirated all the DLC because Creative assembly are omega kikes that killed Warhammer Fantasy because it wasn't profitable (enough, it's never enough ) until the games came out. Not even getting in the actual models. Even Nurgle would feel disgusted by that shit.
>>740480940With total war you can just creamapi the 300 dlcs in one go
>>740462174Frieza moment
>>740461646Basically no games are worth more than 30$. If I can find it around that price on a sale or through a keyseller or whatever I'll pay for it. Otherwise I'm pirating it.
>>740466220Based Age of Wonders enjoyer. I wonder how many of the ones that played the OG still play today. I even bought the DLC because I love making meme factions. Where else you would have Satan's Cat fight against Archangel Michaelorc demonkilla?
>>740461646They're expensive and if the platform is obsolete, it's fair game.
>>740461646>modern games now cost $70>still comes with content equal to a $30 gameMake it worth my money. Not my fault shitty games cost $100M+ despite looking and performing worse than 20+ yr old games
>>740461646>good game from the past>devs deserved your money when the game launched>devs don't deserve your money in the current yearAlso the potential of getting burned by the devs actively changing the game/spitting in your face after launch.I bought a game and I trusted the devs and wanted to support them, then 2 years after launch they take a giant piss on their own "principles" and now I wish I could get my money back because these filthy lying gooks do not deserve it.
>>740480972Yeah, that's exactly what I did. But I did also buy the base game. So, they got some money from me even if I despise their business practice because Skellingtons riding Warsphinxes against Aztec Lizard Riding a Triceratops with a laser beam attached will always be cool.
>>740481957Their dlc practices are on par with paradox. Just impossible to defend
>>740461646The world is unfair, I have much less than most people, so I take from those who have much more than me.
>>740482005Yeah, but the game is good so I support it by buying the base game but will absolutely pirate everything else. "true" pirates will pirate everything disregarding the context. Factorio for example is one game you shouldn't pirate because if you want more games like that the Devs need the support.
>>740480972>creampai
>>740461721same
>>740482232Yeah I see that. I did the same with warhammer 3. Something like dominions 6 I paid full price for since its 2 devs and I got so much time out of the series
>>740461646Because I can.
>>740462650Based
>>740461646I don't want to pay
>>740472593I love how it's so easy to tell that you're a subhuman hohol who sold his country for peanuts just by your English alone
>>740461646My PC is bad so it's not worth wasting my time downloading anything I wouldn't download stuff even if I had a good PC because I just don't care for 99% of games no matter how much praise or hype they get
>>740461646I don't pirate since I'm not brown. Shitty overpriced games just aren't worth the time even if free.>>740473623russians and fpv drones are like jeets and trains. In both cases well deserved.
>>740461646See >>740481289
>>740461646game free
>>740461646I'm poor. By pirating I can enjoy myself while trying to at least lessen the gap between me and my richer peers
>>740461646Is the cheap way, here in Spain everybody is poor.
>>740461646Hope this clears things up
>>740461646I am not going to pay for things I can get for free without consequences
>>740461646I didn't have money and wasn't really ok with it. I didn't want to be/feel left out though.I have a huge wishlist on steam and I'm trying to buy the games I've played throughout the years
>>740474909>with malware like denuvoNot all, but most of the online complaining about Denuvo is not truly related to performance concerns or ownership rights or malware. That's usually a performative veneer of principle masking sheer irritation over not being able to play a game for free.This doesn't mean the performance or ownership concerns should be outright dismissed, but most of the complaining just uses that as a whitewashed reason to get their foot in the door about getting a free game.
>>740461646I want to play a game for free without paying for it. If I like it enough i'll buy it. I did that to Mechwarrior 5 when their last DLC came out.
>>740461646Publishers deliberately refuse to sell their games in my region, so why would I not pirate them? I don't feel any moral guilt in doing that if they don't even want my money.
>>740461646>game releases in US>target audience is the group of people that make 50k$ per year>game costs 50-80$>game releases in EU>target audience is split between the northern countries that make 30k euros and southern countries that make 8k per year>no regional pricing>the same game that costs 80$, which is equal to 69 euros, instead costs 80 euros>for most people, especially in southern Europe, a full game costs as much as 3 days of work, for an american a game costs as much as an Uber food order to fill 2 peopleIt is ethically right to pirate a game when they decided it's right to charge you 5x more than the equivalent of what they charge an american.
>>740489892Just pay for it with your free healthcare.
If I can get something for free then why the fuck would I pay for it?>b-but it's ruining the industry!Couldn't care less.
culture shouldn't exist only for those who can afford it
>>740461721fippy bippy
>>740461646I dont want to waste alot of money for a singular game for a console I dont have
>>740461646i feel like i have been wronged by society
>>740477738>Every Men of War player ever that didnt figure out games mechanicsFor some reason, being on a high ground in that game is actually a disadvantage.
>>740478439He loves being nigger rich...but white. You know how black barely make ends meet but they buy retarded shit to show off as "status symbols"? Thats video games for a lot of whites. They will brag about paying 70% for a video game and then still bitch about electricity, gas, food or hospital bills.
>>740490679>70%Meant to say 70$
>>740461646It's just to save money, I don't need any justification for it mister market researcher. I'm also even less likely to buy games if they have denuvo because as someone who likes to pirate that'd be against my best interests.
>can't post link to video because this board's spam filter was "enhanced" by AI
>>740490074It's not as "free" as you think it is. My friend for example has kidney stones to the point that he will need surgery for them. His appointment is for November-December. Now apply the same logic for every health issue, some of them are life threatening potentially.
>>740491126I know. We burgers mock Canadians for it.>"you'll go in debt with medical bills!">you'll die outside the hospital waiting for surgery
>>740461646I dont pirate video games anymore, but when I use to it was because I couldn't afford to buy them (pre steam)>>740461721
>>740461646>We have lost Objective Butter.
>>740461646If I ever saw that stupid fucking cat, I'd snatch him up and cuddle him until he fell asleep. That'd teach that fucking retard.
