Should I feel bad for pirating indie games?
>>743294234not troon games no

>>743294234game developers do not deserve to be paid
>>743294280KWAB
You should feel bad for having voted Trump you fucking pissbaby.
>>743294234only for the good ones
>>743294234Those guys don't care that much.
probably yeah, indie devs making money means less autistic people languishing in unimaginably meaningless retailslop and foodslop jobsif you pirate indie games i will 100% triangulate your location and i will sever your brainstem with a legally purchased rifle and bullet and this is 100% not a joke completely admissible in court 100% chance of me going to jail forever if you report me
>>743294234If you liked it, you should buy it.Consider: If you didn't pirate it, would you buy it first or would you just not play the game?Consider: If you decide to just not play the game, is the developer getting any money?Piracy is fine, but endeavour to pay for things you enjoy when you can.
>>743294234Yes because morality is an absolutism but the degree is really up to you. Jesus would be fine with you cloning a video game file or 2. Buddha would have some commentary on cycles of guilt of your own making I'm sure. Allah would be proudy for you.
Why has this game been in Early Access for six years?I appreciate them making regular updates, at least, but damn.
>>743294462>If you liked it, you should buy it.>Consider: If you didn't pirate it, would you buy it first or would you just not play the game?Ultrakill has a demo, that isn't an excuse in this instance.
>>743294234>piratebay>in 2026No, you shouldn't feel bad about piracy. But you're doing it wrong.
>>743294549womp womp
Depends on the game. Dunno Ultrakill, but something hella expensive like Factorio, yes. Terraria definitely no. It's about the average price and how many years the game has been out.
>>743294586Most everything I'm looking for is there and seeded.
>>743294549If it's got a demo you should try that first, but sometimes they're not exactly faithful to the retail game.
>>743294234ultrakill devs deserve this
>>743294650Piratebay is not trustworthy. It's a clone of a clone. The real piratebay has been defunct for a decade. I suggest you be very, very careful. It's still better than being a retard that downloads literal malware from that one place I will not name and give free advertising, but not great. It's a tier-three source at best.You should be getting unmodified files off cs.rin.ru and applying steamless and goldberg yourself. Or fetching GOG installers from various sites and double-checking the installer's signature. Or just downloading scene releases that have torrents.
YesNot for Ultrakill thoughThat's a tranny game
>>743295003What makes it a tranny game?
>>743294234noI only pirate indie games, I buy AAA games at full price
>>743295062All games are tranny games
>>743294234Not any more than you would feel bad for not donating to a Vtuber.
>>743294234>pirating .exe files from surface web torrent trackersNot gonna make it.
>>743294840>that one place I will not name and give free advertising,I will. You're talki g about skidrowreloaded
>>743294234why are you still using piratebay
>>743294234no but you should feel bad for buying non-indie games
>>743295062Made by people that literally says "trans rights" all the time and force lgbt shit in all old fps communities+plugging for support of a anal plug that vibrates according to some shit ingame so you can also clench your asshole and play
>>743296653Thanks anon.
>>743295062Lots of trannies play itThey seem to like low poly ps1 grafix and fast action gameplay
>>743296845Oh and the breakcore ost
>>743294234No, in all likelyhood it'll suck and was made by a tranny or is just gay and lame.If against all odds it's good and not tranny made you should probably buy it afterwards.
nojust avoid IGGAMES and anyone who is reuploading their releases and you'll be fineuse csrin forums even
>>743294234you should feel bad for using a knockoff piratebay in 2026
>>743294234You should only feel bad if you're not living true to your principles.
>>743294234No, why would you? You become an indie dev because you want to be a gamedev. Piracy is inevitable for gaming.You are doing them an honor by pirating their game.
>>743294840Stop trying to educate brown retarded zoomer faggets, let them download indian malware.They deserved to be raped for being this retarded.
your 1 sale doesnt amount to anythinga lot of devs and publishers put business meetings which are expensive trips to fancy restaurants and clubs on the expense account of the companythey waste money nonstop and give tens of thousands of dollars to streamers just to play the game for 1 hour on stream so no you saving your money is better than giving it to irresponsible people who dont deserve it
>>743294234Depends how special and poor the developer is. If they are the only person on earth making the kind of game you want to play and they aren't that successful then you should feel a little bad, even if its purely from a selfish perspective that you won't get more of what you want.
>>743294298>Game devs dont deserve to be paid.>Said the man on a video game hobby board.I agree, I think video games should be made illegal and no longer developed as well and anybody who plays them or is in possession of them locked away for 40 years.
>>743294234No.
No..? If you want the dev to make more games, then pay for it. If not, who cares.
>>743298176never said illegalgame developers do not deserve to be paid
>>743298739Don't care what you want, I think video games are addictive as smoking and drinking and I want them gone, so I agree, the minute nobody gets paid to make this shit, nobody will make a thing.But we cant have the second hand market existing, so get rid of them all together.Digital Entertainment is the most dangerous thing to happen to mankind since the atomic bomb.
>>743298739You want no games to exist buddy.Be a schizo groid somewhere else
>>743294234If you can easily afford them and are simply pirating because you're an absolute penny-pinching hyperjew, then yes, you should feel bad.If you cannot afford them anyway then no, you playing the game for free doesn't hurt anyone and you're not depriving the devs of any well-earned income as you do not have that money to spend anyway, so it's fine.
>>743294234If you end up liking it you should pay eventually. Otherwise you can't complain when indie devs stop making the games you like. Also Ultrakill specifically is already successful enough that it really doesn't matter.
>>743298176you are right anon and the other is wrong
>>743294234Yeah, it's a waste of time.
if they don't have 1k+ reviews, then yes. if they do then it doesn't matter
sloppy plappies while caged
>ultrakill has been in early access for 6 years
>>743297182>just avoid IGGAMESWhat's wrong with them?
>>743302921Actual malware, and when there isn't malware, they still tamper with things in disgusting ways like making it so if you delete their URL shortcut in the game folder the game spawns a popup and refuses to run. Not to mention shit like UPX'ing executables that don't even need to be cracked, removing "useless" files, etc etcBasically, do not download anything from there. ESPECIALLY if it's not anywhere else obvious.
>>743303441this hasn't been the case for about 7 yearsIGGGAMES/dauphong (same group) is the most trusted uploader on the Internet
>>743295003Nep must be tight as fuck
>>743294348This. Pirate itIf it sucks move onIf its good buy the game for real or buy some dlcs to compensateThats what i did for Dredge. Bout it on grey market, loved it, bought all the dlc as a thanks you
>>743303684She's a huge 500 year old lolislut so she's super loose
>>743294234Ultrakill is tranny slop so no
>>743296074What else is there to use reddit blocks all pirate links
Do whatever you want m8y the dev won't pop out from your screen like a shitty 80's horror C-movie and strangle you.
>>743298176BasedVideo games ruined many lives and should be banned everywhereIts more dangerous than alcohol and drugs
I only pirate games made by poor devs and buy every aaa gamePoor people should not make art
>>743294234Play it first and buy it if you like it enough.
>>743294234you should feel bad for playing games instead of enjoying the summer outside with your dog. he won't live forever, anon.
>>743294234Ultrakill has been being sold on Steam for, what, 6 years now? You’re fine.
If the dev has made sufficient money, piracy has basically zero impactIf its some unknown game, pirating ensures that the dev cant make more of it, which is a bad outcome if you actually liked the game. At the very least spread the word of the game so someone else can buy it in your stead.
>>743294234Would you have bought it otherwise? No? Then no.
No. Buy them later if they're any good, when you can, if you ever can.Money is hard to get without being a pos.
>>743294234Depends, are the devs leftists?
No. Especially not this piece of shit that's been in early access for like six years and still isn't done. Oh but we definitely need to add meme shit like butt plug support instead of actually finishing the damn game. That's what people want.
>>743294340aren't you anticapitalist and shit? shouldn't you be happy Trump was elected again as he's accidentally crashing modernity?
>>743294234you sound like a moralfag why are you on 4chan
>>743294234No, many people making these games are ideologically bankrupt with Ultrakill specifically having support for a buttplug that vibrates as you play it. Ive also been seeing more indie devs pushing their bluesky accounts in their advertising which needs no explanation in itself. I believe that if these devs are going to be increasingly weird and isolating to potential customers, then I should just pirate it. I don't like the idea of my money going to some troon and/or commie faggot and doing something retarded with it.
>>743307269>specifically having support for a buttplug that vibrates as you play itWait really? I thought that was just hyperbole for tranny shit, not an actual thing.
>>743307369Its a mod someone made for rumble support. Some buttplugs also vibrate.Its not that deep, but it is kinda funny.
>>743307269>Ultrakill specifically having support for a buttplug that vibrates as you play itBut that's funny. I should add that to my RPG.
>>7433066184chan is only anonymous, you're not required to share any beliefs with people here. If you were duped into thinking you have to follow so-called 4chan culture, you're a sheep and I pity you.
>>743294234Sorta? Do they have a demo? If not, not really a foul in a sense since you can justify it by saying you're trying it out. God knows I've pirated a few indie games over the years, liked them, then bought them later on because of that fact.
>>743294234Yeah but you won't so why ask?
>>743294234>PiratebayGood Luck with your malware and trojan
Honestly I only pirate if I get a bad feeling about it so at least when it turns out its shit I feel better.Was nice to play Borderlands 3 for free before it came to steam because 'lul, Epic', just to be shown the worst fucking story ever.
>>743303608kys fag
>>743307269Would've been based and trad if it was a vibrating onahole instead
>>743294840>you can't trust piratebay, but you can trust "freegoggamesnoscam" sites
>>743308349retards like you shouldnt pirate.and no im not trying to say "freegoggamesnoscam" sites are legit.im trying to say that you have no idea wtf you're doing.
>>743308451>saar please download from my gog site for your pirate license saar
>>743308173Buttplug is just the name they used, you can use the exact same program to make a vibrating onahole work.
>>743294234>piratebay
>>743294234As long as you eventually buy it if you like it, no.
ultrakill is its own hollow knight now where indie devs are specifically cloning it, and then everyone just calls the clones ultrakill knockoffs, so it has perpetual marketing.so no, ultrakill guy is fine.
This is what filthy little pirates deserve
