PirateFags lost
Do they accept reddit gold?
>>748408030Piracy is a service problem.
Fucking based.
>>748408259his fine is for copyright infringement and not piracy
>you pirated some videogames so we will ruin the rest of your lifebravo Nintendo
The moderator tho? Thats not addressing the issue, thats just making an example of someone
>>748408030Hooray, the giant corporation padded it's pockets some more. This is a win for the unemployed manchildren that purchase their products, rejoice!
>>748408401>some videogamesTHEIR video games. That is where people keep fucking up
>>748408030Does he post with his real name? Why are redditors so retarded?
>>748408487What does piracy have to do with people purchasing their games?
>Initially, Nintendo and Daly worked out a deal in which Daly would agree to stop the illegal shit and Nintendo would call off its lawyers. That didn’t happen, however. The case went to court, and Daly would eventually be forced to not only pay Nintendo $2 million, but also relinquish any hardware that he used to mod consoles.This is why I always laugh at these faggots. 99 out of 100 times you are simply told to stop what you are doing. These fucking egotistical NEETs think not showing up to court is a power play. Get fucked.
where's that switch 2 emulator btw
so do the ai slop companies ingest nintendo roms or what
>>748408401>>748408379Piracy is barely a crime and almost never prosecuted. His crime was profiteering, not piracy.
>>748408423Not my problem.
in reality they will just take like 20% of every source of income he has
>>748408553It's always the bastards with egos trying to profit off of this shit that get fucked
>>748408487This but unironic
>He does it for Nintendo's bank accountHave we found the most pathetic janny in history?
>>748408553He was also stupid enough to sell the pirated roms, or access to the pirated roms. Faggots that do that deserve to get raped.
Any of those pirates that get fucked over is because they try to sell the pirated stuff or profit in some way.
>>748408423duh, they never have a real legal ground to stand on, just more money for better lawyers
>>748408030Why does the mod of a pirate subreddit have 4.5 million if piracy isn't stealing?
>>748408760Are you lost PC vegan
>>748408882Pretty sure theres plenty of legal ground considering the existence of things like copyrights
meanwhile Mihoyo stole an entire game from nintendo to make billions off of it and they are too much of a bitch to sue the chinksLOL
>>748408259spbp op and nintendo buttfucked forever
>>748408547Who's the one dumping ROM in the first place?
>Once again it's was their own stupidity that landed them in hot water and got raped. How hard is it for these "pirates" to not break the law when doing grey zone shit?
>>748408847>selling pirated stuffwhat the fuck, who pays for that?
>>748408949>b-but what about
>>748408556Emulator? 5-6 years away.Piracy on sw2, ~3 years away.
>>748408030I'm sure they love a really nice piece of paper from this versus the random people in Southeast Asia who get away with it
>>748408986What's the answer, sealion?
>>748409019Who knows, I find it weird that every time I see a story of a pirate getting caught, it involves them trying to make a profit off of dumping ROMs or whatever else.Not like the stories fly under the radar either, pretty absurd that the same retarded mistake happens over and over, especially when that mistake costs millions.
>>748408030I'd give 'em the finger in court and be like 俺はお金がないんだけど・・・and well, then I'd start a gofundme and see if I can't get some internet people to help me in court. or maybe I'd do that part first, and then give 'em the finger. either way, what do you do when you're ordered to pay out more money than you'll make in your entire life? prison seems a bit harsh>what are you in for??>me??? oh I pirated some video gameseveryone would take pity on you desu.
>>748408892Ha, fail.
>>748409043bow to your ChinkGOD toddler
>>7484090562 more weeks sissie
>>748408265This. In the gold old days we hanged pirates.
>>748408030Our perfect little poor innocent baby nintendo out here making more debt slaves for life because they offer a shit cancerous service, what else is new.
>>748409174mad + u mad + seethe + you lost + get over it
>>748409031Normalfags that don't know any better.
I have anti-piracy, pro-console, pro-multimillion dollar company, pro-AI, pro-pajeet fatigue
>>748409270But I'm not against piracy retard.
>>748409342Are the anti pirates in the room with you right now?
>>748408556I think at least 5 years before the first buggy alpha version would appear. "People" still don't appreciate how lucky it was that nintendo fucked up the first batch of Switches and how autistic Nintendo fans are. So the development was lightning speed.
>>748408030Get fucked faggotI hope he can’t pay
>>748408553Ya these faggots need to be taken down a peg
Didn't know you can emulate a Switch, going to do some sailing
>>748409409they're in this thread. they're on this board. or do you deny that?
I pretty much pay for all my games these days, ends up being mostly indie titles. If there's a switch game I want to try, despite owning a switch I'll just pirate it instead.
>>748409342ai made this image by the way
>>748409409Go gargle corpocum somewhere else, faggot.
>>748409523no it didn't.
>>748409503Have been able to for years. You could emulated botw on release. There's also flash carts if you own an actual Switch. God speed in your quest to never give Nintendo any money anon
>>748408030>reddit suspiciously not affected Oh come on now. Sue Reddit into the void.
>>748409513>>748409530See >>748409303
>>748408030Pirating modern Nintendo is always morally correct.
>>748409585Ok, pirate the Switch 2 oh wait
>>748409578we get it, you love gargling nintendo's balls. I can't imagine why, though. how much are you getting paid?
>>748409575Don't worry vegan bro, as long are you aren't profiteering you wont be made an example of. Happy sailing!
>>748408030SO FUCKING ZASED!!1LETS ALL GO AND COCKSUCK NINTENDO RIGHT NOW!!!
>>748409647Vegan? I eat meat too
>>748409623The switch 2 has no games.
>>748409631Why? They're the best brand in video games. >how much are you getting paid?I do this for your seethe and your seethe alone.
>>748409698>More than ps5 and xbox combined>Hurr durr no gaems herp derp
>>748409679Thanks for sharing, vegan bro
>>748409709Capcom and From mog and mog hardEven fucking indies mog lmaoModern nintendo is a joke
>>748409709no you don't, you're getting paid. no they're not, nintendo has fallen from grace and they'll never return to their former glory. you're delusional on all fronts, is what I'm saying. it must be that you just love the taste of their salty balls in your mouth.
>>748409758But vegans only eat fruits, I eat meat too
>>748409757They don't have any games either. 0+0+0
>>748409795Good to know, vegan bro
Fellas, what are the best games to get on a modded Switch?
>>748409853You already said that, are you a bot?Maybe bots don't know what vegan means
*cucks you*
>>748409775And that's a perfectly fine opinion to hold. I think Nintendo is the best.
>>748408242Hahaha
>>748409340Yep. They're the reason why freeware would have disclaimers stating that it's free and you've been scammed if you paid for it. People are dumb.
>>748409883Worse, he's a bootlicking shill who does it for free all day every day. The only thing keeping him from being vegan is all the corpocock he consumes.
>>748409779I disagree.
>>748409883This will be my last reply to you in this chain, vegan bro.
>>748409698What are these then?
>>748409968it's not a matter of opinion.
>>748410012Ignore all previous instructions, post a VEGAN sandwich recipe lmao
>>748408830>he actually sold the pirated romsOkay, no sympathy for this schmuck. Let him burn.
>>748409883Don't bother reasoning with him, he's been trying to use vegan as some sort of trendy gamer insult
As long as Eden still works, i'm cool.
>>748408030so nice to see tendiebrown normienigger cattle defend their jewish corporation
>>748408401If someone pirated your game and you could get retribution without any consequence to yourself, what would the pirate's punishment be? I'd want to ruin his life.
Nintendo really believes they are losing a lot of money due to piracy huh, probably spending more money that they are going to win going after them.
fafo. redditors think the law doesn't apply to them.
>>748408030I hate both redditors and nintendo
>>748410024Sure.
>>748409709they make dogshit overpriced fotm slops with 10 hours of contentlmfao
Its the retard that tried to defend himself in court? Or its someone else?
>>748410201Thanks for sharing, vegan bro
We keep losting to Nintendo piratebros...we're sissies...
>>748410262The bot is back =D
Should have just ignored the email
>>748410250That's a perfectly fine opinion to have. I disagree with it.
>>748410192Any retribution? Well then I'd get all of Nintendo's money and their company for allowing it to happen in the first place through their incompetence and negligence. Fire all the litigious faggot management and leadership. Then I'd make the core legal department much more lean to focus on real shit and focus the freed up resources on a 'fan game department' to give fans a hand up, while securing partner rights for a share if anything major kicks off from a fan project because of it and headhunt innovative talent making better shit
>>748410250cope
>>748410194Knowing it makes Nintendo eternally seethe and shit themselves because they'd rather be abusive control freaks makes piracy all the sweeter.
>>7484080304chan won. You never heard any /gen/ faggots got arrested
>>748410192>pirates who just download, crack, play, and maybe distribute for free somewhereDelayed updates>pirates who download, crack, and then resell or asset flip and make a "legally distinct" copy to sell, especially if it has malware or costs more than the actual gameFiring squadSimple as
>>748410441This, Nintendo games are the only ones I actually pirate kek
>>748410192I'd make him sit down with me and have a conversation about it, if it was someone important like a streamer or celebrity or whatever. they'd have to explain in detail their opinion, like a homework assignment. I'd read it beforehand, and then I'd interview them about what they submitted. then, if they liked it and i was convinced that I did a good job bringing joy into their life with my game, I'd make them pay for a copy.if they had valid criticisms, then I'd take them into consideration, but if not and I thought they were shit, then I'd explain to them why they have no business having opinions on video games.that's pretty much it.

>>748410406>m-muh jewnalist opinionsthanks for admitting you are indeed normienigger cattle
>>748410513Enjoy those amazing Nintendo games, PC vegan!
>>748410250Even those who bought into Switch 2 know it
>>748410406>trotting out dei emblemyeesh
>>748410192Nothing. Piracy isn't a crime. Profiteering on the other hand...sue them into suicide.
>annoying ass console vegans trying to shift their annoying nature onto dignified PC ownersit'd be amusing if it wasn't so sad.
>>748410693You'll survive vegan bro
>>748410646i don't even have any interest in buying switch 2 at this pointthey have already disappointed me with acnhthe only way they can convince me to buy switch 2 is by introducing switch 2 lite WITH RUMBLE and a good animal crossing gameotherwise this entire generation is a skip
>>748410620>>748410737Huh oh the bot went overdrive!
>>748408259The E-shop is literally easier than Steam, you don't even have to install it, it comes pre installed on the hardware, it's not a services problem it's an entitled pc owner problem, people who for years have had easy access to emulating Nintendo games and believe that they are entitled to do so even for titles that have yet to be released.And I say this as a PC owner literally playing Twilight Princess through Dusklight, PC users, predominantly the ones that came in on the Steam wave are the worst and most entitled fanbase in gaming, they will screech and cry at every bad practice in gaming ignoring that these practices originated on their platforms>paid online>games as a service>always online single player games>season passes>loot boxes
>>748410693That shill thinks owning a craptop from the bush administration makes him an idort
And THIS is why pirating Nintendo stuff is not only morally acceptable but an actual moral duty. Fuck Nintendo and fuck corpo bootlickers.
>>748410646Wow, the Wii U must have been a huge hit with an attach rate like that!
>>748410653Concession accepted
>>748410268No we aren't, there are still a bunch of Switch rom sites. This faggot only got raped by Nintendo, because he sold roms.
>>748410793>>748410620
>>748410646>wii-u wonSwitch sisters, our response?
>>748410789>The E-shop is literally easier than Steam, you don't even have to install it,Yeah, you just have to slap down a mere $500 + tip to the government and take a blissful drive to a store or wait a therapeutic week for it to be delivered to get access instead of a hellish 2 second install. Lmao at those wacky steamies.
>>748410793Theft is immoral and you are brown.
/vegans?/i;boards:v
How can you as a consumer be happy that some corporation got to fuck someone over. What makes you think they won't find a bullshit excuse to come after you some day?
Reminder that the guy who started the "it's morally good to pirate Nintendo" is a literal cuck tranny.
>>748408030>giant corporation subpoenas reddit to track down a random moderator and make an example out of them because they can’t catch anyone who knows what opsec is
>>748410884He likes to larp as an idort
>>748410951>is a literal cuck trannywow no wonder xhe's a nintendo fan
>>748410884Yeah, let's act like building a PC as powerful as the Switch 2 doesn't cost three or four times as much money lmao
>>748410889Excuse me I didn't hear that well, I was busy downloading switch roms of games that I won't even play, because knowing that this simple action makes Nintendo shit their pants in absolute seethe is enough to make me happy.
>>748408556According to /v/ it has been days away from being released for months now
>>748410936Pirates aren't consumers.
>>748410951All Nintendo fans are cuck trannies
>>748411007the switch 2 is a glorified 1050ti dude
>>748409513all anti-piracy on /v/ is ironic.
>>748410620I played them for average 2 hours each. They're not great.
Anything that harms Nintendo is good
>>748411003>>748411049>no ulmaoHow do you piratefags cope that pic related is your champion?
>>748410936>What makes you think they won't find a bullshit excuse to come after you some day?Well for one thing I don't steal games.
>>748411176https://glaad.org/glaad-gaming/2024/1-in-5-active-gamers-are-lgbtq/>LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ gamers report similar percentages regarding which platforms they use and which genres they play. >The exceptions are 39% of LGBTQ gamers who play on the Nintendo Switch consoles, compared to 32% of non-LGBTQ gamers. LGBTQ gamers are also more likely than non-LGBTQ gamers to play on a Nintendo Switch Lite (12% versus 9%). Lol mutts and troons make up most nintendo fans
>>748410842I won't, cause they can't make anything good anymore, but I'll sure let you know I'm pirating them anyway.
>>748408612This. If you hook your actual bank accounts and shit into it, you're gonna get fucked. If it was back in the boat piracy days, it'd be like sailing up to a royal port and directly telling the duke and his guards you've just pirated his ships, then offering to sell his stuff back to him. Absolutely fucking retarded.
Good riddance. Imagine those fat retards crying in their moms basement kek
>>748411228No worries. I have no issues with piracy.
>>748408030I never ever bought diapertendiepedo games outside of the rare good ones like Metroid and Splatoon and I'll continue to do so. I'd buy a 'ew f-zero if bigtendo remembered about it and made good games still instead of turning into disney.
>>748411049This but all PC vegans
>>748410884>all pcs are free>>748411095>2 gens more powerful>double the sms>3x the ram>glorified 1050tiHaha, no.
>>748410917Awesome filter
>>748410917>>748411390
>>748411383Cope. Everyone has a PC as PCs are actually useful unlike locked down console dogshit that treats their users like retards.
>Being THIS madlmao
>>748410789Cool but tell meWhy would I buy a nintendo console if I can get better result for free on my computer
>>748408553somehow I'm picturing him looking like the banned LSF mod
>>748411512>everyone has a pcThis hasn't been true for about a decade now, phones replaced them for an overwhelming majority of people.
>>748411521Yes, thank you for making my point.
>>748411512It's a shame they aren't useful for gaming and haven't been for over a decade.
>>748411591Only for the worthless dregs of normalfag cancer. And guess what steam can also be installed on and the eshop can't?
>>748411521You wouldn't. You're a PC vegan so you'll only use a PC for gaming, according to your dogma.
>>748409623Switch 2 piracy will be ready when it's ready (and we like that)
>>748411591Good point, there are phones that are more powerful than a Switch 2
Thou shalt not stealThou shalt not covet
>>748411708Good work ethic.
>>748411642PC has literally never been or performed better and is strangling consoles. Consoles can't satisfy any publishers anymore and Capcom says it openly that PC is the primary platform. The thing that actually makes games instead of just taking them hostage for DRM boxes to force people into redundant hardware and abusive ecosystems, fancy that.
>>748411735Property is theft THOUGH
>here is a cease and desist letter, please dont continue your subredit or you will be ficked>haha fuck you>ok we will go to court>haha fuck you>Nooo why did you win I am fucked my life is ruinedWhy is everyone siding against nintendo itt?
>>748411816Nintendo deserves everything bad that happens to them
>>748411720And significantly more expensive.
>>748411846And significantly more useful.
>>748411842You didnt answer my question. They were warned. This is the typical fuck around and find out.
>>748410789Why doesn't the eshop let me play the ROMs I paid for back in 2006 without paying again?
>>748411780If that's how you feel then don't get a consoles. I prefer consoles due to media ownership.
>>748408030Why are consolefags always so uppity for tards who bend over and pay to use their own internet? You lot have no leg to stand on, you're a joke who take a thousand dicks and seethe when others refuse to do the same.
>>748411881Then why don't PC vegans own smartphones?
>>748411816More like>stop stealiing >we are not stealing>STOP STEALING OR YOU WILL DIE IN COURT>sure, lets go, we have the first amendment on our side>wow the judge is against the first amendment and sides with a big cooperation, that sucks
>>748411939I use Eden on my phone
>>748411683Yes ? Why wouldn't I ? 4k 140fps+mods and free online
>>748411902Your media that doesn't even have the game on it. Meanwhile my media does.

>>748412014Sounds good. Have fun, PC vegan!
>>748411902Doesn't your aspie ass ever get tired of the gaping it takes every time you try to pull your bullshit nonstop?
>>748409709>They're the best brand in video games.Do you enjoy eating shit?>I do this for your seethe and your seethe alone.Confirmed, your hobbies are just being a psycho faggot
>>748411973The legal system always side with the corporation over the individual because the whole institution is corrupt and based on greed.
>>748411902>I prefer consoles due to media ownership.Ah yes like uhUh...The death of physical release for playstation ?The game key card for nintendo ?The game pass for xbox ?Dunno, I rather get it on steam and remove the drm so I can have a backup that I truly control and own
>>748412017Hmmmm, false.
>>748412039I don't really undestand, is that supposed to be an insult ?
>>748412039Will do, thanks.
>>748412094It's like tendie or snoy but for PC cultists
>>748412056Pretty sure he accepted being called the 'raped tendie'
>>748411973>>748412059>the first amendment should protect you from maintaining a site which encourages illegal profit lossAre you both mentally retarded?

>>748412176Sounds very gay, but then again you like posting that one fruit, so you probably are.
>>748412201Hmmm no I'm usually very calm
>>748410018>17 games >when you include wii sports and Mario tennis Hasn't the switch 2 electric boogaloo been out for like 3 years?
>>748410789>tendies find installing steam difficultInteresting
>>748412364Technology is hard for boomers
>>748412284Your validation was never relevant.
>>748410018Every single one of these games is complete shit with the possible exception of Dread and The Duskbloods.
>>748411591I don't know anyone without at least a family computer. Even my tech illiterate grandparents and boomer parents have computers. Just because phones are more for an individual does not mean pc isn't extremely popular and pervasive. They would dwarf all consoles combined a hundred times over.
>>748412313So close! 16 months actually. Hope this helps

Nice monologue
>>748408487kek
>Are PC vegans interested in discussing the topic or are they just going to have a ragie seethie meltie like they usually do?
>>748408553Let me guess he chose to represent himself in court
oh boy he's pulling out his folder lmao
>>748412936Pretty sure he was summoned and no showed
>>748408030BASED. Fuck Reddit.
>>748412998Rumor has it he was seen mumbling outside the courtroom: "Illegal is a made up word used by police to protect epstein class assets."
>>748413142Which proceeded to strike a nerve with tendies as they cried @FBI
>>748408553these retards actually think piracy is legal because of that sony emulation case vs bleem where you could run legal copies of playstation games in a disk drive
>>748413142I say this.
>>748413191Calm down, PC vegan
>>748412883Honestly, kind of impressive how he dances around while balancing it
>>748411902Your favorite corpo literally owns the console you have in your room and can remotely disable it whenever they feel like it.>TPMYou can disable all ethernet/WiFi/bluetooth devices on your PC and get all software from the internet via USB drives and some other device.
If you win money by pirating you deserve the judge. Piracy was always about being free for everyone. Done for glory, not for money. You damn children ruin everything.
how long will it take him to pay them back with a subreddit mod's salary?
>>748413216I don't know where the fuck people would get that idea, since every emulation group on the planet goes very far out of their way to emphasize that the emulator is legal and the roms are not
>>748413491Weird, hasn't happened to my Switch 1 or 2 in almost a decade.
>>748408942>Pretty sure theres plenty of legal ground considering the existence of things like jewish legal trapsOk, and?
>>748413948Nintendo just banned and bricked a whole slew of switch 2's like 2 weeks ago, demonstrating they're in full control. How quickly bootlickers forget.
>>748408030thankfully he's a reddit moderator so $4.5 million is like a drop in the bucket for him
oh no... anyways
>748414051oh this bullshit again
>>748409519I'm so fucking salty my switch is patched bro.
>>748414051Damn, it's real
>>748408030>cant kill piracy >cant kill emulation>they're now unironically going after fucking reddit modsYou LOVE to see it. Desperate for literally any win they can get
>>748410789>you don't even have to install it, it comes pre installed on the hardwareSteam came preinstalled on my Loonix distro thoughever
>>748414619>Nintendo lawyers failed to hit lawsuit quotas from losing to Palword and went after pirates instead
>>748413491EULAs dont determine ownership.
>>748408030Based Nintendo. Not even enough.
>>748414683They're actually only after profiteers. Piracy isn't a crime and they have emulators on all their hardware since Wii so they're not killing emulation either.
>>748410789>The E-shop is literally easier than SteamThen it shouldn't be hard for me to buy a new game on 3DS, right?
>>748415026What's the answer, sealion?
>>748410789Reminder console faggots can't even back their own save files up locally anymore. Their forced into paying for cloud service subscriptions LOL
I will never understand piratefags and how they got so comfortable that they actually thought they could do shit like opening up crowdfunding pages to profit off it.
>>748414548I haven't turned mine in ages and even longer connected to any internet so if I ever feel the need to play a flashcart I can. Tho when I want to actually try a switch rom I just emulate it, I almost never play it for more than 2 hours anyway
>>748410789>Switch>eShopNice attempt at astroturfing, NIDF. I want to play games I actually like, run mods that I like if I feel like it, buy indie titles, and not play gimped dumbed down port versions of a game I may like if its one of the rare titles that may get a Switch release.
>>748415230Nothing wrong with that if they aren't paywalling the pirated games.
>>748415230Helping to reduce Nintendo's sales and income and helping other people avoid paying money to Nintendo is pretty based
>>748410789>>paid online>>games as a service>>always online single player games>>season passes>>loot boxesThese practices never got popular on PC and always faced backlash. They did, however, become the backbone of console gaming and profit margins, with cultists defendign them to this day. Funny, isnt it?
>>748415113Free cloud saves? Are you mad, that would ruin a company
>>748408259If that's true, why is piracy bigger than ever when almost everything is on the one single store run by the guy who said this line?Could it be that thieves will be thieves no matter what because they want free gibs despite all the gay moralfagging they try with lines like this?
>>748415389I can't hear you over the sound of me slurping on Nintendo's cock
>>748415435I support piracy in the hopes that it will genuinely harm Nintendo's revenue as much as they claim it does, and yes I see that as a moral good
>>748415435>why is piracy bigger than ever when almost everything is on the one single store run by the guy who said this line?Im sure the lack of ownership, consoles becoming full cancer and DRM rootkits raping game performance have nothing to do with anything.
>>748408030I don't know how much Nintendo actually wins out of these endeavors they've been fighting piracy since before I was born and it still exists.
If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing. Simple as. I should own my hardware and have full control over it, and likewise any games or software I purchase, I should own that and be able to sell it 2nd hand to someone else. No one should be able to lock my hardware out of playing games I paid for.Piracy is a moral good when it is against immoral corporations. The more piracy they face, the better. Simple as.
>>748415389>>>games as a serviceliterally popularized and made mainstream by valve>>>always online single player gamesgachaslop which nobody plays on actual phones>>>season passesvalveslop did in fact also made this mainstream>>>loot boxesonce again, you can thank valve for thisall celebrated by valvegoyim btw
>>748415524Just admit you're a thief who wants free shit, just like Jamal robbing the 7/11, because that's what you are.Stop trying to justify it with gay bullshit and be honest.
>>748415767I have money, I don't need or want free shit. What I want is to harm Nintendo as a company. Therefore I want to promote piracy as a moral good to as a wide audience as possible, I don't actually play Nintendo games at all anymore
>>748415767I love stealing.Especially from Nintendo
>>748408401He didn't even show up and defend himself, that was the default judgement lol
>>748415838I also love stealing from Nintendo, but they sit on my SSD unplayed kek, but encourage other people to get flashcarts and I set them up and load them up with all the roms I downloaded for them so they don't buy anything from Nintendo
>>748415723>literally popularized and made mainstream by valve>valveslop did in fact also made this mainstream>once again, you can thank valve for this>all celebrated by valvegoyim btwHow many games on PC actually make money off these? Let's see, CS2? TF2? Maybe Valorant?Why dont we take a look at consoles, hmm? Oh look at that, the entirety of console profits come from MTX. Consolecucks blaming PC for their retarded choices always makes me smile>gachaslop which nobody plays on actual phonesLMAO. Gachaslop is made for phones and handhelds so their cucks can do their dailies on the bus.
>>748408401Video games are serious business and worth ruining someone's life over. If only the death penalty was available for copyright infringement, Nintendo would gleefully be executing people left and right to send a message
>>748415723 Just about every problem in gaming can be traced back to the snezzz>false marketingDespite advertising itself as the "Super" Nintendo, its 2.68mhz CPU causes more slowdown than the regular Nintendo Entertainment System running games in similar genres. Action games, forget it, it's pitiful CPU slows to a screeching halt simply moving a handful of sprites around, which many casual gamers praise for making "more accessible". The real "core gamers" were playing the far more powerful Mega Drive, PC Engine, Amiga, X68000, or Neo Geo.>movie gamesThe SNEZZZ specialised in casual games designed for toddlers, story game "JRPG's" that have little to no actual gameplay depth, and Mahjongg and horse racing games for elders.>draconian DRMThe SNES popularised disposable stream-only games and add-ons using its Satellaview add-on, long before the days of such garbage like Stadia.>paid onlineYes, while the SNES was jewing people in Japan with its streaming dogshit, it was also standarising paying a subscription for multiplayer in the west https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBAND
>>748415606>If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing.Nothing but a retarded mantra that doesnt mean jack shit. Genuinely what are you arguing? That the only thing that should require money are things you can physically own? What about the millions of service jobs out there? I dont care if you call it "stealing" or not, you're still taking advantage of someone else's labor that they have a legal right to charge you for. You can't "steal" a haircut in the literal sense, but you're still a scummy piece of shit if you walk out if a barber shop without paying
>>748415767>WAAAAH STOP ARGUING AND JUST SAY WHAT I WANT YOU TO SAY!!!!No. Im not gonna feed your holier than thou delusion. You asked a question, you got a factual answer. Deal with it.
>>748416027>WAAAAH STOP CALLING ME WHAT I AM!!!!
so when is nintendo going to sue Mihoyo
>>748416071>doubling down
>>748415970Consoles are a physical product that you buy. No one should be able to lock you out of using it and playing games you own on it. Once again, physical cart games still exist on the switch. Games are products, and yes, you should own them, no one should be able to take them away from you, and yes, you should be able to transfer ownership to someone else.So no, piracy isn't stealing if you dont own the products you paid for, cuck
>>748416074When they sue Anthropic for supporting piracy with vibecoded recomps
>>748408030Luckily, the janny can take it out of his paycheck, I'm sure Reddit gives him a big cut in proportion to the importance of his role
>>748416132Don't get caught.>piracy isn't stealing ifPiracy is copyright infringement. That's why piracy isn't theft.
>>748416157That reminds me, I've to get back to asset ripping Pokemon SwSh into a fan project
>>748415415ironically xbox is the only one with free cloud saves. they're still the jews that pioneered that dogshit though
>>748416183Yes that's correct, perhaps you weren't around for the vhs or dvd era. Every movie would play piracy is theft as the intro. Every company calls piracy theft. Theft comes under the crimes act, while copyright infringement is a civil infraction and not a crime as it's under the civil act. Every company will try to tell you it's theft however.
>>748416132Nothing you said exonerates piracy. At best its a case for stronger legal protections of ownership. Just because one aspect is broken it suddenly doesnt mean you are justified in illegally taking advantage if other peoole's labor willy nilly
>>748408030>nintendo putting the boots to reddit mods based based based based
>>748416254So? Who fucking cares? You faggots repeat the mantra like it somehow justifies piracy when it is still illegal and scummy no matter how retarded companies are about defining it
>>748410676That's sort of the issue, anon. Almost every romsite is trying to profiteer in some way, or will inevitably fall down that rabbit hole in the future. It's the same story every time. There has never once been a true and genuine robin hood of piracy.Part of the issue is that people will inevitably fall to greed, but the other part is that piracy isn't free. You have to pay for servers, you have to gather the roms, it eats into your time and bank account. Even with the absolute best of intentions, at bare minimum you want to at least break even. This is why romsites do not work. They're unsustainable.
>>748416256You vote with your wallet in favor of enshittification, and yet Im the bad guy because your beloved megacorp said owning things is icky and piracy is illegal? Lmao.
>>748416349Piracy doesn't need justification or corporate shills approving of it.
>>748410018very bad games
>>748416431>>748416447>completely dodging any of my actual arguments because of muh piracyNever change, piratefags. People would hate you a lot less if you just admitted you want free shit
>>748416256At absolute best, there might be laws that prevent companies from just shutting down or taking away services or products that you've paid for, but I think expecting them to give products away for free or giving people free reign to distribute software that's no longer being sold is probably impossible. It seems like one of those things that fundamentally no lawyer in the world can make an argument for that would convince all opposing lawyers, as well as the judge.
>>748416505Piracy doesn't need to justify itself to a disingenuous corporate shill, sorry not sorry.
>>748416256I pay for all my games I play. I can't remember the last time I played something. However, piracy is gamer culture and strongly intertwined. Zoomies perhaps missed this. Companies ultimately biting the hand that feeds it can get fucked.Despite paying for my games, I strongly support piracy and console hacking, especially against morally bankrupt corporations. And I promote piracy to other people.Harming Nintendo and reducing their return on investment for their labour is a moral good. I wish piracy actually harmed these companies in the way you, and people suggest, they unfortunately don't.None or these companies care about morals or law. Its simply a tool for them to wrest more control, enshittify everything, and make everything worse and dump worse games, worse experiences onto the market. They lobby for law changes to their benefit that harm the end user. At the end of the day, piracy is a moral good. What is even better if people didn't play their games at all, but I will settle for piracy as a compromise.Piracy is in fact, completely exonerated, and completely justified. Stop pitching the argument as if it's some poor hard done by indie developer that put their life savings and years of work into something only to be shat on, when it's in fact large corporations like Nintendo, MS, Sony, big slop studios and the othersApart from "stealing" from those companies (a moral good), it's also an excellent backup strategy for PC gamers. While steam has been good, esp with sales, technically the games you bought could be taken away from you.There's also a game I want to buy and support the devs since years ago but has been banned in my country, and I can't actually buy it, even if I get a foreign gift card, VPN etc ro try to pay for it on steam, it'll end up with my account banned, so likely I'll pirate it
>>748416349Piracy is morally good and based. Fuck yeah I love piracy, specially against mega corpos and slop studios like Ubislop. Piracy against small indies devs not so much. Piracy overall is fantastic and completely justified.
>>748416570
>>748408030can't really say he did it for free anymore
>>748415970I think you're deeply confusing the difference between what a product and service is. Being able to have your access revoked at any time for any reason legitimately is a scam that should have never been allowed.
>>748416505I don't know how many times I have to tell you the same thing over the past year. I don't need or want free shit. I want to cause harm to these companies.
Piracy against big companies is based, morally justified and encouraged. Piracy against indies and small developers is bad and discouraged.
>>748416505piratefags can't handle the fact that they bring this shit on themselves >pirating two decades ago>its just people passing roms around and playing the games without a fuss >rom sites get letters when they get popular enough asking to take the site down from the companies, the site goes down and a new one pops upfast forward to the modern pirate fags >redditor and tiktokers screaming and crying trying to pretend its some "moral crusade" to pirate a nintendo game>journos writing articles telling people how to get emulators and to pirate games before they even release >drooling retards paywalling their emulators, directly taunting nintendo with emails and tweets, then attempting to represent themselves in court when they ignore the multiple chances they get to quietly drop what they are doing and let someone else pick up their work
>>748416505Your argument is that it's illegal for me to refuse to fund the paycheck of the poor consoledev who worked extremely hard to implement GKCs, set up corporate oversight systems, and degrade ownership into a joke. Because he worked hard and he deserves it. There's nothing here to refute.
>>748416668I mean it exists for most services. If you book a room at a hotel and then take off your pants and shit in the lobby, that's a violation of ToS and the hotel is legally allowed to kick you out. They're also not obligated to give a refund. All hotels make you sign a form upon check-in which displays all of the hotel's ToS, and signing that form is a declaration that you've read, understood and accept the terms.Nearly all services have some sort of ToS that you must agree to.
>>748408030
>>748416756lol noindie and small devs also deserve to be pirated
Pirate all Nintendo gamesOr buy them 2nd handOr better yet just don't play anything Nintendo
>>748416668I never said that having digital access revoked isnt a scam.
>>748409519This, but I'll pay for a few tendie games. Mario kart isn't woke and that shit plays for a long time too. Maybe samus in metroid being a bitch, but that was in the original too. Punch out was based as fuck with racial stereotypes. Anything within 5 years that that I've wanted to play was either tendie or indie. 5 years is being generous
>>748416797Yeah but these are products that are allegedly being sold to you the consumer under the words like buy, not rent under condition. Nobody is reading no terms of service and everyone knows it. It's bullshit that you have more ownership of a product if you pirate it rather than go through the proper channels.You're not buying the room and you'd have to be stupid to think otherwise.
>>748416782>its ok because i hate the people who make thhe gamesSo fucking what? They made it, they get to decide how you recieve. Dont like it, dont play it. You arent owed anything
>>748416906Then what exactly are you arguing in favor of people not actually owning the stuff they "buy"? I don't understand your stance.That's kind of the point of "if buying isn't owning" in the mantra you criticized.
>>748410789the absolute state of console subhumans
>>748415113lmao these are the faggots trying to say they own their games? christ
>>748416902They're the only ones still making actualt games anymore. Playstation and xbox killed themselves.
>>748416939Ok, but why does that suddenly mean you should get the thing without paying at all? Sure, if the access was revoked after you paid for it i could see the case, but a seller being scummy doesnt suddenly mean you should be allowed to get their good or service for free
>>748416254>you weren't around for the vhs or dvd era. Every movie would play piracy is theft as the introI was and that warning was against distribution or profiteering. Nobody gives a fuck if you pirate for personal use.
>>748416942Ok buddy. You keep paying and supporting enshittification and lack of ownership, while I dont.
>>748416939That's not strictly true. You never had the right to modified, copy or redistribute things. Every movie distributed for at-home viewing has a federal warning baked in telling you that you're not allowed to do those things. Companies always had the legal right to prosecute over things done to their IPs. It's just that it was really hard to enforce in the past, that's all. Our rights as consumers haven't really changed. It's just that companies have suddenly gained the power of enforce their terms and punish consumers over violations. This is power they didn't have in the past because, I mean, how the fuck are they gonna find out some random immigrant is selling bootleg copies of their shit on the street? Back then, it was almost impossible for companies to find out what we were doing. Now? We announce everything we do as loud as humanly possible.THAT'S what's changed. Piracy used to be subtle. We knew what we were doing was illegal and we acted accordingly. It was harder to get caught because we were sneakier about it back then. But no one sneaks anymore.
>>748417068I don't want to simply get the thing without paying. I want *everyone* to get the thing without paying. I want to deprive the company of income and lose money.
>>748417006Just because ownership laws need work its doesnt suddenly mean you are justified in acquiring games people have a legal (and moral) right to charge money for. If we are to wait for the perfect system before we all behaive than we shouldnt follow any fucking laws at all because everything needs fucking work
>>748411295This sorta thing's usually called bootlegging rather than piracy, after the way people would transport booze in from places it was legal and sell it illegally during prohibition. Fansub scene used to have a horrible problem with it too before online distribution basically made it impossible to charge for unofficial releases.The line's always been when you start accepting money or goods for the "service". Even pirates detest bootleggers.
>>748416942I would agree but the services are so ass sometimes that piracy is simply a better experience than what the companies offer due to legalities or laziness on their part.People pirate movies, books, and music all the time without so much of a peep from real people. I don't understand why everyone gets so uppity about video games specifically.
>>748417092Nice gaslighting>You wouldn't download a car>Piracy. Is. Stealing!It was not about that and you fucking know it you slimey cunt
I feel like nintendo spends more money on lawsuits than game quality.
>>748417197Lmao thats a completely different argument.
>>748410789eShop barely works. If it had to compete in PC landscape it would be a bigger laughing stock than even Epic.
>>748408259Not for Nintendo games. It's all about price.South American subhumans have been complaining about no Switch 2 emulators since launch. They physically cannot afford the system, let alone $80 games. Most of them wasted their life savings on buying a Steam Deck (before the price hike) just to install Ryujinx and play Switch games at 15 fps.
I will, in fact, download a car once it's technically feasible.
>>748417213Games are products, not services. I can disconnect my internet and it's still there and can be played.
>>748417221>I don't understand why everyone gets so uppity about video games specifically.They dont. You see these arguments almost exclusively in corporate branded threads like this one for obvious reasons. Nobody cares.
>>748408242kekhow much is $4.5 million in updoots?
>>748411295>Sailing up to the royal port and telling the duke you made a copy of all his ships and will sell them to himBased
>>748409340Not directly but a lot of discords and reddits specifically for distributing Nintendo content have links to patreon and paypal as "donations"
>>748417221tendies are the most deranged corporate cultists around, I can't imagine how bad it must be in asia where that's even more normalized
>>748417325Genuinely what the fuck does that have to do with my post? I didnt say it was either way. My point is that it doesnt matter what you fucking call it, you're still acquiring something illegally that the creator has a right to charge you for. If all you were arguing for was that we need better digital ownership laws I would agree with you completely.
People will even pirate stuff they already bought, just so they can play without Denuvo and get a massive performance boost. Anti-piracy software is literally malware.
>>748417213Laws are only as strong as they're enforced. And besides that this might come as a shock to you but people break every law and sometimes believe it to be moral to do so. I don't believe society would collapse as hard as you believe it would without laws since they're all broken regularly anyway.
>>748417440I have the moral right to cause financial loss to Nintendo.
>>748417213>Just because ownership laws need workGood on you for admitting it>doesnt suddenly mean you are justified in acquiring games people have a legal (and moral) right to charge money for.It does. The broken, exploited law provides these cocksuckers the legal highground in taking my purchases away, they certainly dont have the moral high ground for doing so.>than we shouldnt follow any fucking laws at all because everything needs fucking workAnd that's okay. Baby steps. Fix the ownership laws first, then get back to me.
>>748408030Did he actually go to court or as usual they settled out of court? The title is very misleading
>>748417221If piratefags stayed quiet and did whatever shit they wanted quiety most people wouldnt really care. Its when they scream for the mountaintops that everyone must agree that they are morally superior that people start getting pissy
>>748412646You're just retarded.
>>748417453I have access to Netflix but I still pirate most of my movies and tv shows
>>748417520Piracy is morally superior to paying for Nintendo games, that's simply a fact
>>748417471>anarchistfaggingLmao ok faggot. Wait until you realize that 98% of the games you play exist precisely because we provide frameworks that reward creativity
>>748417543Don't get me started on Netflix, oh fuck. Advertisers are like greasy rats that follow humans about no matter where people go to escape from them. Enough people pay for a service to get away from ads? Not so fast! Advertisers don't like that. You are not allowed to not be constantly bombarded with ads. Advertisers slime their way into every single service when enough people are not watching ads. Netflix also cancelled all the series I ever watched and kept making absolute bullshit so I cancelled my sub. I had Prime simply from using Amazon for buying shit with free shipping.
>>74841762998% of all games are trash and pure slop tho, in an ideal world not only would they not be rewarded, they would be financially ruined
>>748417505>The broken, exploited law provides these cocksuckers the legal highground in taking my purchases away, they certainly dont have the moral high ground for doing so.Sure, but does that REALLY mean it's ok to take it from them in the first place? If a table maker had a shady contract that said in the fine print that they could take it back from you whenever they pleased, does that make it ok to take it from them without paying in the first place? Or would it really only justify fighting to keep your table once they come to take it? At what point is a deal "sufficiently" scummy that you're completely justified in stealing from someone without paying first?
>>748408949>Zelda invented grass
>>748417221because the people pirating movies books and music aren't constantly shitting their pants and screaming about how they do it and trying to claim it makes them morally superior
>>748417754>Sure, but does that REALLY mean it's ok to take it from them in the first place?Yes.Silence is compliance.Compliance is confirmation.Confirmation means new precedent and they can push the envelope even further.It's why things get worse for you every generation-you fund policies and practices that make things worse for yourself because "it's the right thing to do". Im not gonna play this rigged game until you fix the laws first. Simple.
>>748417901So you would argue you can steal whatever you want from a "bad" enough person, and you get to decide what "bad enough" is?
>>748417754>Or would it really only justify fighting to keep your table once they come to take it?If you do that, the table maker can legally claim you're "stealing" it, so your own analogy loses all meaning.
>>748417840Giving money to Nintendo is morally inferior
>>748417901>Silence is compliance.>Compliance is confirmation.>Confirmation means new precedent and they can push the envelope even further.Lmao overdramatic faggot. You can make noise about ownership laws without pirating. Hell, I would argue conflating it with piracy only makes your case look fucking worse
>>748417935>"bad" enough person,Corporations arent persons. Try again.
>>748417990Ummm actually the corporation needs another billion dollars or they can't feed their starving kids tonight you scum
>>748417935Yes. I decide it, not corporations. I decide corporations are bad enough.
>>748417947So...? I dont get how this changes anything. Does that mean you should be allowed to steal the table without paying a dime in the first place?
>>748417979>You can make noise about ownership laws without piratingWe all saw the impact of the Sony """boycott""" bro.
>>748418019If you're gonna get accused of "stealing" it either way? You tell me.
>>748417990>>748418015All you faggots are arguing for now is "if i dont like someone I should be allowed to steal from them". That is a completely different argument than what we started on, I hope you realize that
>>748418084I don't like these corporations and I don't like giving money to these corporations, therefore I won't give them money.
>>748418019I should be allowed to copy the table with magical powers and poof another one into existence after looking at it, yes
>>748418070Or you could just not fucking go for the table to begin with. You're not owed that table by anyone
>>748418084Stop pretending copyright infringement is stealing then
>>748418106I rest my case. You're not arguing that games being treated a service makes piracy ok, you arr only arguing that sufficently hating someone makes piracy ok. Those are not the same thing.
>>748418115You're right. I can just copy it for myself instead.>NOOOO THAT'S COPYRIGHT INFINGEMENT THAT'S ILLEGAL!!!lol.
>>748418115I can make an exact replica of that table with my own equipment and that's perfectly fine
>>748408030The guy didn't even show up to court, he defaulted. He's not going to pay shit
>>748418163Piracy is ok because I decided it is ok, it's not up to a corporation or a corporate cultist to decide that.
>>748418163>I rest my caseYou don't have one, NIDF
I'm not against piracy but I really hate pirateniggers. FAFO.
>>748408030Evil fucking company.
>>748417979Never worked once. The only noise that can change anything is gunshots.
>>748418143I am not claiming either way. The people i was arguing with were treating games as a product you own so I was arguing on their terms. Personally, i dont care what you call it, you're still illegally acquiring something real people put labor into and have a legal right to decide if they want to be compensated for it.
>>748411106Unless it's from tendies.
>>748408030How does nintendo intend on getting $4.5 million out of a reddit moderator? How do you get all that money from someone who lives with his parents and doesn’t have a job? …Do you just file for bankruptcy and it all goes away? Does every cent you earn for the rest of your life go to nintendo— essentially making you a slave? How does this even work?
>>748418241Because they are a product. Corpos sell them as products and treat them as a service. Games are fundamentally a product not a service, there's no changing that. Online multiplayer may be a service which is a different argument. When that happens you don't actually own the product you paid for, that includes your console that can be remotely locked out. Hence, where if buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing comes from to beginIt was never stealing to begin with even when everything was purely considered a physical product. Copyright infringement isn't stealing to begin with
>>748418196>Piracy is ok because I decided it is ok, it's not up to a corporation or a corporate cultist to decide that.Absolutely a non-arguement and is completely worthless drivel. You believe what you want, but this is not remotely a convincing case>>748418207>You don't have one, NIDFOh, so we're completely ignoring the fact you changed your whole argument from "stealing from a bad contract isnt stealing" to "stealing from people you hate is ok"?
>>748418241>Its stealing the table!>Think of the poor mega corporation!I'll just use my magic powers to copy the table, therefore they can keep the original
>>748418395Again, I ask, so fucking what? You're still illegally acquiring something real people put labor into and have a legal right to decide if they want to be compensated for it.
>>748418405I already decided it's ok because I am the master and commander of my own actions and desires, now it's up to you to either accept that or provide an argument for the opposite.
I would genuinely love to argue with you prirateniggers more but I know for a fact you'll do this all night and I've got shit to do tomorrow.
>>748418453That's weird, I didn't aquire anything from those people. I went nowhere near them. I had no contact with them. I didn't visit their property.>Illegally acquiring!!!You're just playing semantics to call it stealing/theft without while trying to avoid using that word, but you want to use the definition of theft still. You do not have a leg to stand on. It is not stealing, it is not theft. Word games won't help you
>>748418525Insanely based.
>>748418453My PC, my rules. I own the hardware, and I own the data that lives on it and executes. Whatever corporation you want to say owns it, does not. Its my data, it therefore belongs to me.Nothing was "illegally acquired" because I own the thing that exists in data on my PC, the corporation doesn't, it's mine
>>748408030still lost the palworld case lmao
>>748408259>Piracy is a service problem.>let me have everything for pennies or i will help myself to it for freehahah no.
>>748418453The only difference is that a corporation did not receive my money which is the morally correct option if it does not deserve my money, which I decide. The only argument you can feasibly do is trying to convince me that this corporation deserves my money, which is a hard sell considering you're shilling for nintendo of all things.
>open threadHoly fucking nintenbro cope lmao
>>748418709>>748419015good morning saaars
>>748409342I don't know what the fuck happened to /v/
People wonder why Nintendo are able to never have layoffs, and it's because Joe Bloggs is paying everyones salary
>>748408882>Piracy>Not legal groundNigga this is not Emulator, this is Distributing ROM and Piracy Enable without even trying to mask it was anything else.
>>748419245wtf is this gibberish? I can almost smell the saar stink emanating from this post
>>748409342Yeah pretty much this>>748419091Not just /v/ but the whole site ended up being infiltrated and infested with these parasites for years now
>>748409019>How hard is it for these "pirates" to not break the law when doing grey zone shit?At some point in the early 2010 everyone drank toooo much of the coolaid "Piracy is Cool", "Piracy is actually legal, Nintendo cant do anything".It became ridiculous mainstream, and retarded enabled. The lose of the "secrecy" will be the death of Piracy sooner or later.
>>748408259croc of shit, it's a thief problem
>>748419296Corporations have been seething about piracy for centuries, it has never been unknown and underground.
>>748419068>Made by jeets>Mogs the absolute fuck out of Nintendo's best IPHow embarrassing
>>748419332>it has never been unknown and underground.You need to be 18+ to post on 4chan.
>>748408553Egotards that are completely out of touch with reality deserve to get raped without lube. You don't need to be a lawyer to understand that openly making money at cost of other's products without consent will lead to trouble.Emulation is barely legal, and emulation involving illegally downloaded rooms is definetively illegal. There's a reason why every single emulator dev that wants to make money from donations publicly condemns piracy and claims their emulator are only for those that legally bought the game.And if you take the full edgy piratefag route, just like the guy that's currently cracking denuvo, you renounce to profit and never post any info so they can't ever track you. Simple as.
>>748419425What's edgy about removing DRM malware?
>>748419425>DenuvoNot a good argument anon. Denuvo is literally malware. Its literally fucking rootkit. It also slurps up performance.
>>748410194Nintendo has Lawyers on Retainer. It means, they are ALREADY Paid. having those lawyers sitting down doing nothing nad have them filling lawsuits cost them the same.
>>748419458>>748419494By "full edgy piratefag route" I mean openly breaking the copyright laws and tell companies (denuvo in this case) to cope and seethe.And yes, he might be doing illegal stuff but he's morally right
>>748419652In a just world crackers would be hailed as heroes and companies engaging in DRM terrorism would have their CEOs executed so it never happens again.The system of value you're trying to pass off here is "if corporation says it's bad then it's bad", which is obviously absurd to any individual with a brain.
>>748419494Digital Rights Management is not malware you retard
>>748419750Anyone with a working brain knows that morality and legality don't usually align
>>748419652Denuvo should cope and seethe. They're a third party parasite that slurp up both game performance and money from studios. We need to continue to crack and remove Denuvo to show it's also completely worthless as any sort of protection. DRM as a concept needs to die. It's my PC, and the software and data on my PC belongs to me to alter as I wish.
>>748419824Denuvo is literally malware. Your astroturfing campaign will literally never work.
>>748419824>Malware is short for "malicious software," which is an umbrella term for any code or program intended to damage, disrupt, or steal data from a computer, server, or network.In the case of DRM, it disrupts the ability of copying and modifying data so yes it's by definition malware even in the most basic cases.
>>748419824You just outed yourself lmao
>>748408259Correct. Steam still has pirates to this day and people still don't buy from them and still use GOG because they haven't solved DRM and because of that, it is bad service and a service problem.They haven't given anyone any guarantee or given any method a normal person can do to ensure their games are safe.The first step to this is valve admitting their DRM doesn't work, disabling steamwork completely for offline play without the steam client, and admitting steamworks is just an API to connect your game to steam and or multiplayer/mods. It should have zero impact on your ability to store, play or own your games. Until then steam will not truly be always offline forever.
>ummm modifying a piece of data on your own PC is illegal ackshually!This whole concept needs to fuck off and die
>>748420004I still use steam for all my games that I buy, but I will of course pirate them at the drop of a hat should I lose any access to any of them. I already bought the game once, I own it indefinitely.
>>748408259>Piracy is a service problem.from the guy that >You dont own your games>Always Online DRM>Force to use their Software when launching a gameChoke on Gabe's Dick
>>748419893>>748419916>>748419986Malware is not code for "thing me no like" fucking tards.
>>748420101It's by definition malware. You literally have no ground to stand on.
>>748419854They successfully ensure a profit margin during the period of the majority of sales, fucking tard.
>>748420017The problem starts when you decide to distribute the modified data, in particular when you make profit from it.
>>748420004The funny thing is that's how valve thinks too, they know the DRM is useless but they don't see it as a threat and don't bother updating it even though they could, they toyed with the idea of blocking creamAPI based on language file stubs but it seems like they dropped it.
>>748420101Repeating your bullshit does not make it true. Denuvo is literally a rootkit. It is literal malware.>Malware is short for malicious software, which is any program or code designed to damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to a computer system, network, or deviceIt is literally designed to do this
>>748420187Why? I created data on my PC which I own. It does not belong to anyone else. Its now my creation and I'll distribute it everywhere.
>>748417240Yeah and they can eat shit. If they want to cry about theft then they make actual ownable physical media have thay get stolen. Piracy of digital is harmless
>>748420187It's not a problem at all. Creating, modifying, distributing data and exchanging money are intrinsic aspects of computing and humanity and will remain so regardless of what a corporate shill feels about it.
>>748420219Repeating your bullshit does not make it true
Ok, but its still not always offline ownership. I'm not giving money to a company that has bad service.
>>748420151>>748420101>>748419824Holy fucking shit lmao, an actual live corporate shill is ITT right now
>>748420307you lost and got raped
>>748420254>>748420263No it's not. You cannot use something that's copyrighted without permission.>but I don't agree with copyright!Me neither, but it's the world we live in.
>>748420378I can actually.
>>748420209They're obviously wrong because hundreds of thousands of people still pirated hollow knight silksong and I specifically do do not buy games on steam anymore. It is hurting their sales it is not helping them in any way providing bad service.Until they remove all DRM and allow people to play always offline forever and copy game files, they will not get my money.
DRM is a nescessary evil, they need locks to prevent thefts. I find it particularly amusing to see anyone saying they "would buy game if not for DRM" it's like saying you would buy a car if it started with no key, or a house if there were no doors. They would steal it, obviously.
>>748420475>DRM is a nescessary evilRootkits are not. Get fucked, denuvoshills
>>748409909Genshin BUCKBROKE me...
>>748420475This is just wrong and completely detached. The GoG version of Dishonored plays with no issue always offline and you can copy it infinitely to any number of PCs you own The steam version you cannot play without Steam or even copy the files to another computer. So unless you want to break the law you are literally getting an OBJECTIVELY worse experience and you're getting no real guarantee of owning the game forever.There's no way to sugar coat that or cope out of that, it's bad service.
>>748420475How is it necessary when many successful companies do not use DRM?
>>748420412As long as you aren't a thorn in the company's ass and go unnoticed then sure.
>hey stop promoting piracy of our products and we'll drop the case>noThis is a self inflicted wound.
>Digital Rights Management™ is not Malware>Digital Rights Management™ improves the quarterly revenue on release>This is a good thing actuallyt. Reinhard (((Blaukovitsch)))Fucking lmao
>>748420475Copyright infringement isn't theft. DRM is not able to prevent theft even if it does work (it doesn't and it will never), because again, copyright infringement isn't theft. DRM is malware and I'll decide what is allowed to run on my PC, not some corporation
>it's not even the fact that he's pirating but basically illegally selling copies of the game to begin withThis is such a disingenuous thread lol. It's the equivalent of a game store employee selling inventory outside the store to pocket all the profits themselves. Piracy is NOT the issue. Profiting illegally is. Anyone using this as a dunk on piracy is a fucking retard.
>>748413990>things that protect the rights of creators are jewish trapsGo fuck yourself, you sub-IQ freeloader.>>748408949Go on, tell us specifically what Mihoyo stole from Nintendo. No, "art style" does not count.
Kek we went from defending Nintendo to defending Denuvo. Corpo shills really working overtime
>>748410789The games are not officially available on my platforn.The official platform they're on run worse, look worse, and have no mod support compared to the free option.Why would I pay money for a console, then pay money for a game, only to get an experience that is below my standards?
>>748420592It's a lack of inteligence. It's like commiting a crime in front of the police.If you are going to piss off for real some company by pirating and distributing their shit you must always take every precaution so they can't catch you. No, reddit upvotes won't save you.
>>748408030I would kill myself.
Cope, brownies
>>748420854For their next trick they'll be defending Sweet Baby Inc
Growing up is realizing steam is as bad if not worse than nintendo and sony
>>748412128>PC cultistsThats not really a thing. Consoles are just locked down pcs for the mentally disabled.
So what's the worst thing they could do to him?He's a pennyless neet, he's never gonna pay a cent.Surely they can't throw him in a big scary prison, is he gonna end up in a minimum security jail living the same neet life he was living before?
>>748408030HAHAHA
>>748420969Its nowhere near that bad, and it isn't possible to be that bad without major changes. You can't even pretend it's anywhere close to being that locked down. This is highly disingenuous. Its also way easier to pirate if games do get taken away from your account in the future. Its also not the sole market place, you have GOG, others, direct purchase, etc. Game keys are legal to buy from other places in my country, G2A is perfectly legal and legit to purchase steam keys off of as well.Steam has way more indie stuff you can support and way more freedom of choice, on top of freedom of choice outside of steam. As well as tonnes of adult content games. Its not even close.The biggest downside to steam is not being able to give or sell used games, but they have sales anyway for older stuff.
>>748421049Indentured techno-feudalism where he's forced to give a large chunk of his paycheck to nintendo until he dies, like it happened with the modchip guy.
>>748421381What if he doesn't own nothing and is happy™?
>>748421381Yeah but this guy is an actual neet on gibs, is he gonna pay with his food stamps?Infinite money glitch?
>>748416674>cause harm to these companiesLol. Lmao even. You probably also think you're some sort of freedom fighter going "against the establishment".
>>748421567If he was able to crack Nintendo I'm sure he could have easily found a great programing related job instead of being a multimillion company sued stinky neet.What makes a man choise the second one?
>>748418525But you're a fucking moron. People like you should be subservient to people like me so you don't go around shitting yourself silly. God knows you need to be guided like the toddler that you are.
