Honestly if I like a game enough I'll buy it. I think like 99% of the games I pirate I end up uninstalling it within a few hours, since I usually only pirate games I'm not sure about anyway.

Then pay if you actually like it and continue playing it. Even if not now, then later. And be honest about it.

Don't feel bad Mr. ##### #### with ip address 192.168.##.###. We give out fake torrented copies of our game on various pirate websites with an ip tracker and rootkit whammy slammy combo.

It's opposite, most games are now vibe coded, I saw game in popular releases where developer literally, according to him, don't know a single thing about coding.

There's nothing wrong with pirating indie games; they're made on a small budget without any ambition.

Think about it logically: The sort of person who has time to play games don't have much money to spend in the first place. And people who work serious career jobs also don't give a shit about video games or people movie games. It's a losing battle.

>>746490110
That's on $100. In Yurop, they pay like $20 on $100.

I hate the homeless too but this is a massive cope.

Yes, but it's already included in the price. So it's really the publishers problem.

>>746490468
Tax in Yurop can effectively push a product into the "won't buy" territory. It's so insignificant in the US (especially in good states) that we rarely factor it in to decisions, and the price varies by county.

I dont feel bad, these guys didnt sell their game DRM free on GOG or itch.io

Anyone who supports steam and DRM software should be banned from owning or developing video games.

Why do game companies and indie studios not understand ownership?

I don't own it, I don't buy.
I do own it, I buy.

It is that simple.

>>746491672
We can go deeper, just because you bought the movie doesn't mean you own the rights to the movie. You just own the ability to view it at anytime anywhere. You cannot play the movie for other people at cost because now YOU are providing a service. Without a loicense mate. Nothing wrong with watching the movie with 1,000,000 people but once you start charging people to view it then publishers get all lawyered up.

This is why emulation and ROMs are so misunderstood. Legal teams purposely obfuscating language for their advantage.
>>
>>746491875
Most movie licences actually do have clauses for crowd viewing.

>>746491875
Over a reasonable amount of people will usually count as public exhibition, which is prohibited.

big ambitions has 13k reviews in under 2 days, i think they will be fine
also companies and marketing reps waste thousands of dollars and horrible spending of their resources to try to get ecelebs to shill their game for 1 hour, they pay like 10s of thousands of dollars they also do shit like business expenses with shills or execs for fancy dinners that cost thousands of dollars
dont worry about your 20 dollars, its like charities that pocket 90% of the funds for their own "non profit salaries" and only spend 10% for front facing donation goals
