Why would I ever pay for a video game when it's literally a gamble as to whether I like it or not? I don't pay for movies or music either.
That's life. It's a gamble whether or not you'll like a drink, a meal, a concert, an event, a car, a house. But if you never took any risks, you wouldn't get anywhere or learn anything.
to have taste and preference is an expression of wealth and time to develop them. if you dont have the luxury of time or wallet you shouldn't
>>741272036yup i only pay if I liked it, always pirate first, have pirated hundreds of games, barely any get my cash. and if I can't pirate I simply don't play it, unless it's on sale for $2 at most (and not part of some bundle)
>>741271972That's why demos and pirating exist, and why big companies are doing away with both
Faith.
>>741271972you shouldn't pay for anythingbut unless you're a complete retard, after playing a certain amount of games you can just tell whether you're going to like something or not by just looking at a single screenshot with 99% accuracy
>>741271972I read that in Garrett's voice
>>741271972Gambling is fine in moderation. Just don't be stupid with it and gamble away your entire life's savings.
>>741271972You make educated guesses and use what you know about the medium and your tastes to find new stuff you believe you would like. And you can use other people to do the same. That's why discussion is such a big part of past times like this.
>>741271972What do you eat
>>741271972Demos and piracy are free, retard.
>>741271972ND's discord would be mad. HOW DARE YOU NOT LOVE OUR NEW REMASTERINOOPS I will get it via Garret's ways anyway
>>741271972>Why would I ever payBecause that's what white people do, as it's the foundation of all western civilization. If you were white you'd know that you have consumer rights and can just refund anything you don't like.Also if you can't tell whether you'd like a game just by looking at a 30 second gameplay snippet you don't actually play video games and don't belong here.
Why the studio that's behind this remaster released Blood twice??
>>741271972Well thats easy to answer, it’s because you are a brown subhuman who takes and takes while contributing nothing to the world. Piracy is brown third worlder behavior
>>741274187What do you mean
>>741274875You must live a good life if spending money on games is not an issue for your budget
>>741271972Post hand.
>>741274875Whites made the best pirates. Vikings, Blackbeard, John Scurvybottom, need I go on?
>>741274973That's racist
>>741274973>people who won only 18 out of 49 recorded battles >schizoid>literally who who sounds like a gay pornstar nicknamesorry whiteboi but the biggest Gs are us brothas fr
>"The masses will pay for it so I don't have to">Video game market becomes saturated with content, themes and political ideals only appealing to the masses>Indies who don't are still pirated massivelyPeople who don't pay are like people who don't vote. They only see their own singular action and lament they are run over by the thing they say they can't affect.
>>741271972isnt Thief 123 remaster coming out later this year?
>>741275228Ask discord fanboys
>>741274973Those are all criminals who got rightfully tortured and killed
>>741274960Yes, I have a job and I’m not unemployed living off welfare like the browns posting itt
>>741271972That's why Steam allow you to refund your game if you don't like it.>>741275228Only 1 for the time being. Hopefully T2 is next (with Gold missions).
>>741275346Good for you, anon
>>741275376T2 Gold was never finished
>>741274914How old were you when you last ate something new that your parents didn't pay for
>>741276580If you want to pay for games because of *insert your reason/s* no one is stopping. You can even legally pay multiple copies of the same game. Do what you want with your money
>>741274960If spending money on video games is a problem for your budget, you shouldn't be playing video games.
>>741277597Are you a German by a chance? or do you work at Nightdive and they didn't raise your salary enough?
>>741277853Yes i'm german, how could you tell?
>>741277989Brown hands
>>741278139Absurd levels of cope. If you can't afford to buy video games without that resulting in existential peril you have other things to take care of than playing video games.
>>741278262What if I can but I'm not willing to? What's your view on that?
As I grow older I genuinely have the philosophy that I do not pay for private digital entertainment/recreation. When I do pay for a game, or an e-book, or an album, etc, I'm not paying for the game, the e-book or an album. I see it as making a donation to a specific creator because I really love their work. I have no qualms with paying to play a multiplayer game though, paying money to play multiplayer games generally filters out the third worlders.
>>741279194>paying money to play multiplayer games generally filters out the third worldersBuilder pilled
>>741279194>paying money to play multiplayer games generally filters out the third worlders.since fucking when?
>>741279727He said "generally"
>>741271972Watch some gameplay first? Are you genuinely retarded?
>>741279727Ever since f2p live service vidya got big. Why bother buying or pirating when games got free?
>>741280321They are technically free but the whole foundation beneath them is to make you an addict and spend money on useless shit which is bad for zoomies
>>741279727overwatch was a massive example IMO, among the other obvious reasons that game died hard
>>741279727I'm sure it feels overwhelming in pay for MP games as well but you gotta understand we're getting something like millions of new Asians into the gaming sphere every month so filtering out 90% of third worlders still leaves you with tens of thousands who actually pay.
The internet sucks, man. I can't believe the thoughts and opinions of retarded poor brown people get shoved in my face as if they have the same value as the thoughts and opinions of actual ensouled human beings. Every single website is the same. How realistic are my wishes for a fully segregated internet in the near future?
>>741279194I also agree with "donation" approach, that's fair if you really like something and want to support whoever was behind it
>>741281306and bots on top of it, don't forget about bots#botlivesmatter
>>741279727biggest personal example I can think of are all the Souls games, when it comes to invasions and such
