The only reason why you disagree is that you lack the basic ability to imagine yourself in someone else's shoes. If it were YOUR videogame creation you'd want people to pay for your product. It's unironically the foundation of morality. It's the direct equivalent of breaking shop windows and looting luxury items as if you were owed them.You're spiritually a jogger.
>they're right, you know?
>>751316501
No they lack that basic ability. They completely miss it how locking your creation on a machine that can't even handle it, is a service issue and that alone creates a big part of piracy.I have a Switch 2 and I was pretty shocked when my friends came over and fucking Mario Kart still couldn't run at 60 fps when there were over 2 players.
>>751316501I will continue to pirate. Consider picrel. USA, btw.
>>751316501Anti-piracy sentiment might be reasonable in the case that games can no longer make a profit due to the pervasiveness of piracy, but that's not the case currently. As it is, piracy is a non-issue that mostly working and middle class people get hung up on in order to feel morally superior to their fellows who are just trying to enjoy some entertainment.
>>751316501Current gen games still on sale: WrongOlder gen games/abandonware: OKEnd of discussion
>>751317160You're not owed something for free if it's not sold in your country. This excuse makes 0 sense. >>751317218>who are just trying to enjoy some entertainmentEntertainment is not a human right. You're not entitled to it lol
>>751316501Then explain why you pirated an image from a kirby animation, you hypocritical snake.
>>751316501Not even americans worship corporations as much as the average japanese lmao
>>751317549>owedI'll pirate it regardless, until it becomes available for sale once again.

>>751316501I don't think I care. AAA game devs acted against me first.
When I went to film school go ahead and get all your jokes out they discussed piracy very openly and they were basically like "look, nobody gives a fuck about big movies, but if you want to be involved in the industry and you're pirating small/medium sized movies, that's a huge dick move to the people you're allegedly "supporting"" and I operate with that logic ever sense. No I will not pirate psychopomp. Damn straight am I pirating GTA6. Consequently, no, nobody gives a fuck if you "pirate" abandonware. Just don't pirate shit made by a small team in thenlast 15 years, it's that shrimple.
>>751317549Hosting sites 're not owed something if it's region locked.
>>751316501>The only reason why you disagree is that you lack the basic ability to imagine yourself in someone else's shoesDon't mind me, just pirating these shoes.
I'm really tired of every thread on /v/ being about pirating or AI or boobies. But there's nowhere else to go.
>>751316501They call things that aren't piracy piracy though. This is primarily because of thet language barrier(the recomps/ports are typically not in Japanese).
>>751319614Reddit is literally and unironically better at this point
>>751316501Nips have no problem with lost media, in fac tthey argue being transitory makes games more valuable.They're perfectly fine with children dying and disappearing forever because that makes them valuableHow could you possibly sympathize with these corporate worshipping cockroaches?
The only reason I'd want them to pay for my product is because we live in a dogshit world where 90% of people are forced to interact with a wholly inhuman and predatory socioeconomic system designed for the benefit of 1% of people on this planet, the "foundation of morality" is entirely relative and supporting a system designed to fuck most of us over and destroy our world for the benefit of a tiny minority of subhuman sociopaths is hardly moral.
>>751319614It's mostly ai or boobies these days
>>751316501>Japanese Twitter is actually rightdidn't read the rest lol
>>751316501As a hypothetical creator, I'd rather be unpaid than ignored completelyAs a consumer, I don't owe you my attentionAs a pirate, I'm doing no more harm than if I ignored you completely
>>751316501it's all an empty facade of virtue signalling. they are just as big at pirating as any western country. they're not on the same level as russia/brazil/china but they do it all the time.
>>751316501Can't buy if they don't sell it. Make buying easier than torrenting and everyone will prefer to pay

>>751317160>>751317160>USA, btw.But in your heart, you're Chinese.
>>751316501Okay they're right. You think i'm going to stop because i'm "wrong"? i'm going to play any game i want for free just to shit on it later.
Japan is nominally a Rule of Law nation, but culturally and in their mindset they still have Rule of Man in them. This is why the Japanese seem to worship status/the rich. Not the same thing as celebrity worship (though they do that too.) This is also why there's so much blatant fraud, scandals, and embezzling from higher position Japanese. Because they think their authority puts them above the rules, or that the authority is theirs not just a position given to them by the rules. They get caught because these rules and laws do exist, but it might come as a shock to them. And elites in America do such things as well, but less blatantly, more subtly. It's why lower class Japanese often appear deferential or obedient to those of higher status. Status and authority is personal and inherent rather than granted and conditional. Stewardship vs Ownership. You even see this in school relationships, often exaggerated in anime and manga, where a child of a politician or a CEO is treated as superior, more noble, more elegant by many. Despite being a democracy, political dynasties rule Japan to such an extent it'd make the Russians blush. As for piracy, you can try and imagine what nips think the rules don't apply to them and what nips think corporations must be obeyed. Rule of Man remains a ghost haunting Japan.
>>751322079All Asian culture revolves around Izzat, they just have different ways of expressing it.
>people responding to this retarded baitGrim. I both pirate and pay for things. I have more important shit to worry about than shekelstein getting a roi. I paid for enough games when I was a retarded child with no sense of value.
>>751322193No, Japanese cause of this is Confucianism which is not just another expression of Izzat.
Japan thinks drawing child porn is ok but don't you dare download a ROM
>>751316501Japanese Twitter is lyingThe Japanese are virtue signaling while also pirating their asses off
>>751316501No, if I made a videogame I'd be fine with people pirating it, especially if they lived in a region that for whatever reason made it difficult to buy the game legally. A pirated copy is not making me lose out on potential profit.
>>751322847Isn't this just chinks using Japanese VPN?>>751316501They don't consider the fact that some games are sold anymore, and piracy is the only way
>>751316501I can't see why people don't like it but no system should be sustained solely by good will. That being said, if you like something and you don't give that thing money, you are a collosal retard because you're not creating demand/incentive for the thing you like.
I don't fucking care.
>>751318259Basically thisI buy if I feel like they deserve my money. A small studio doing something unique and interesting goes a long way towards that I also keep it to myself unlike random cunts on xitter
>>751316501Piracy is a service issue. Stop making shit products and services that treat the games and players like shit. You get what you deserve.
don't japs upload stuff though? isn't that where we get a good chunk of our anime from? and the people who post shounen jump spoilers are in Japan as well
>>751322079>You even see this in school relationships, often exaggerated in anime and manga, where a child of a politician or a CEO is treated as superior, more noble, more elegant by many.That is based though. Ojou sama getting ruled by a poor man’s cock is one of the hottest tropes in porn.

>>751317549If it's not sold in my country then you're never getting any money from it in the first place.You literally have no right to complain.
>>751326816>WEGs freeName them.
>>751317549If I was never expected to be a customer then me copying the game incurs no loss to the company either. It is literally a victim-less crime in that case.

>>751316501Pirated media causes no damage and depletes no resource.Most piracy occurs outside of the target audience which is more likely to just buy the game if they become aware of it, so piracy either does no damage or increases awareness of my games. If more people are aware of my games, then my target audience and sales can only expand.If piracy did actual damage to my videogame's sales, then it would be because I am shit at selling the game.You have to understand that when you are selling digital media or even physical media with low production values (no manual, no merch, etc.), you are selling penny dreadfuls and need to adjust your sales tactics accordingly. Either do it for passion, sell merch or suck a patron's dick.>>751317549>You're not owed something for free if it's not sold in your country. This excuse makes 0 sense. Copyright as a restriction of your rights only makes sense if your country benefits from it in some capacity.>Entertainment is not a human right. You're not entitled to it lolParticipating in public discourse is generally regarded as a right in civilized countries in the form of freedom of speech. Consuming entertainment that is part of public discourse is therefor also a right, and literally published media can not be argued to not be public.Fuck standards companies that don't make their standards public and fuck paywalled academia.>>751318259Piracy can contribute a lot towards discovery, it's all about making it convenient to give you money.
