I pirate too, but holy shit, why are people who try to JUSTIFY pirating EVERYTHING complete shitheads? Like the only time I'll ever justify piracy is for STALKER and thats it.
this is complete bullshit and we all know it. maybe if you had an actual job, we'd believe you. [spoiler]If you live in the 3rd world, its sort of understandable I guess.
Which came first, piracy or devs only making mainstream games that non-pirates buy?
Hudson Watson
both parties would be happy if devs just gave us something that made the game worth buying and not pirating
Connor Hill
devs only making mainstream games that non-pirates buy easily
"I'm gonna order some food, but if I dont like it, I'm not gonna pay"
Robert Stewart
Out.
Charles Peterson
so what would you consider NOT buying or playing the games you don't want to play? same effect.
Mason Green
yes. dont buy or play them if you already know you wont like it. if its truly a bad game, refund it. if it was meh, learn from your experience before buying another one like it.
Jaxson Perry
Piracy only hurts if you would have bought the game otherwise. I'm sure there's a large number of pirates who fall under this category though.

right here babe~ also no, tryig things hands on is better than internet reviewer who will be obviously biased, being paid to play it or is doing some WACKY LP.
Andrew Jenkins
most stores won't refund if you purchase physical and break the seal I like actually owning my games if I want to buy them
Anthony Allen
Reviews are very subjective. From genuine shills, people with a bone to pick with the company and huge amounts of drones you can hardly form your own opinion properly. If you had said gameplay vids I might take you seriously, but reviews in general are not all that helpful.
David Wood

Brayden Thompson
Yet again, OP is a massive faggot.
David Sanchez
When angry joe did his genuine shilling of dragon age cisquisition he pretty much handpicked gameplay for his vid. Smaller reviewers function in very much the same way.
You want just gameplay. Not some fag telling you how great the game is because it scratches his itch.

That's because piratefags are actually the biggest of joos and never want to part with their shekels. Scrooge McDuck could learn a few things from. And just as the joos, the play the "poor, persecuted misunderstood me!" to try and garner symapthy and justify their shit.
"But that 10/10 game is not worth buying" - piratefag, said for every game no matter how awesome
What now?
Ryder Ortiz
Go back to cuckchan

I pirate games for the most part, and if I both have the money and think they deserve it I will buy it later. I don't intend to buy any games in the next 2 years due to college, which sucks.
Jace Scott
It's fine, they're not making any games worth buying anyway.
Oliver Adams
I would be happy if devs gave us something that made the game worth playing, for the low price of free.
Luis Gutierrez
How is not buying a car without being able to try it first not Jewish and greedy? Bring back demos and I won't be forced to pirate their shit. Then again demos went away EXACTLY because of this reason, you can't really deceive the goyim when he can tell from the demo that their game is shit and that the full game won't be much better.
Oliver Price
since when do I make video games?
Hunter Rogers
reviewers are trash
Blake White

Zachary Harris
I just straight up don't care at this point. I'm going to pirate it and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

I pirate because life is unfair. I'd steal them if I could, but for now it's just copying.
I haven't pirated anything in a long while, though, since most new games are shite.

How is taking something without earning it not greedy or jewish??
Dominic Rogers
I agree, people that cat like pirating everything will somehow fix the industry are retarded. As for "B-b-but I'll buy it when I have the money!" I kind of do that except I have the money and just pirate because there are no demos and lots of lies these days. I pirate everything then buy what I like, this has been 8 games pirated this year and 5 brought.
Zachary Clark
Ah.
Adrian Young
*act like sorry cat fans
Blake Sullivan
That implies the thing in question has inherent worth which is something that doesn't exist even in a capitalistic society. How is expecting people to pay for an inferior experience when they can get the better one for free not jewish?
Zachary Young
Do you know how banks or businesses work?
Carson Harris
well at least we know where you're from, we need to instigate a new policy where people that post tumblr filenames get banned, it would make the board much cleaner. anyways I guess I'm jewish for drinking filtered rainwater or collecting sea salt when I'm near the shore kek.
Evan Fisher
That is true. But it's also true that had the Americans ever spent a good couple of centuries farming (all of them, not just the suckers far away from the merchant's hubs), then they would have developed a more healthy relationship with heavy work. Which lessens the jewish mirages of virtual banking and social engineering.
Dylan Cook

Owen Nguyen

Hudson Myers
Going full retard would mean buying AAA games for 60 bucks. Or buying them at all. So no.
Connor Walker
No, full retard would be playing 90% of AAA games. Pirating them doesn't suddenly make them good.
Brayden Barnes
how did you answer mine?
How do you justify taking something for free? How is that not greedy?
Anthony Adams
Are you trying to break the (215) record?
That's a game in and of itself, but a video game?

because I made an exact copy, is that hard to understand? piriting is a digital thing, not physical.
Kevin Collins
but you didnt earn it
Oliver Morales
That too
Isaac Gutierrez
and? by tat logic I can't collect rainwater or collect sea salt from the coast because it's "greedy jew pirating".
James Howard
All im saying is, if you're gonna be a greedy jew for no good reason, just admit it. Dont beat around the bush or try to argue. just admit you're a greedy jew

You're not stealing things when pirating, also I don't even stop to think about it before pirating literally every single game that I want to play.
Jackson Allen
Who said that? It's used to prevent bumping the thread with irrelevant stuff, like my post here.
Benjamin Lee
The money they acquire is from investors. The devs propose a game to the publisher, and they'll approve the concept, then the publisher will fish for investors while using the concept as bait. The money they acquire after the game is completed is PURE UNADULTERATED PROFIT. You can argue that people have to get paid, but in the end you don't know where the revenue that the game has earned goes. Therefore, statements like are fucking retarded. If the product is complete, that means cash has already exchanged hands. Devs got paid, marketers got paid, everybody involved got paid and the product is on the shelf. Publishers work with a budget in mind, they don't create games out of the kindness of their hearts, they want PURE UNADULTERATED PROFIT. This means that they'll only dole out a specific amount of cash for a project before it gets canned or is released, and a lot of it goes to MARKET RESEARCH. There are firms that exist out there who are solely responsible for data mining and social engineering schemes that are used to try and figure out spending trends and understand the relationship between a product and the perception of its consumers from a "cultural" perspective. This is the problem with industrialization, especially with the context of creating works of "artistic merit" in mind.
They want to create crass, cynical, homogenized experiences that they can tap into at any given time in order to fuel their own financial gain. The devs are often in sweatshop conditions, or are offered "competitive pay and benefits" non negotiable while the investors and executives get the cream of the earnings. This is why people pirate. Some people can't afford it, some people want to watch the industry burn, but a lot of people just don't want to drop cash on a shit title like they have time and time again.

preventing a bump isn't a downvote either, all it does is no bump because the post is irrelevant to the discussion, much like if the post never existed.

screenshotting it in case you're foing to delete it as a form of damage control.

What is it about posts like that just make you cringe and make you think "this is a redditor"?
I think it's the posts of random people with unfunny impact text over them. Little text quirks like "???" Really stupid images like 's that are just hard to explain what's wrong with them.
Can we quantify this?
Dominic Moore
because they are redditors trying to fit in.
the best shitposts only last less than 5 posts and call it a day, anyone going over 10 is fucking autistic like OP here.

Why is it that used games are seen as acceptable while piracy is condemned? The same argument that would condemn piracy condemns used games.
Ryan Flores
What the fuck even is this thread.
Thomas Johnson
KILL ALL BUYCUCKS
Asher Long
It frequently is condemned, by publishers and some of the more gullible end users.
Most people, however, are at least smart enough to see through that one, even if they do support the likes of Steam or games with preorder/pack-in/early buy DLC.
Cooper Morris
What I don't get is the mental gymnastics piratefags go through to justify their piracy. A lot of them come off as problem hair pro-choice cunts, making any and every technicality and vague definition they can that can favor them and absolve them of all guilt and responsibility.
Buyfags and piratefags both kill the industry in their own way. Don't for a minute think you're a saint just by sailing the seven digital seas or by "voting with your wallet".
Ryder Hill
I bet you think is mental gymnastics and a myth.
Juan Carter
thats true, but even from those anti-pirate fags who see used games as acceptable you get the same parroted logic that condemns them both.
Joseph Fisher
Rollan.

Luke Bailey
No, there was that schizo who was samefag arguing with himself in a thread for 2 days straight, deleting his posts before it hit the bumplimit to keep it going. He went beyond 300 because he kept deleting them. Anons had to get together and spam the thread to finally get it bumplocked.
Easton Rogers

Giving money for a token 'product' that is otherwise free as a show of support to its producers and their cause is called a donation.

If you want gibs, you want gibs, and that's fine. Just don't try to trick yourself or anyone else into thinking you're some kind of Robin Hood for doing it. That's not fine.
For those unicorns, I salute them.
Andrew Sullivan
There's no robin hood here. There's people going down to the river and drinking the water, and there's the kikes bottling it, poisoning it and selling it to a horde of proud cucks.
Evan Bennett
Who says that? The most I've seen anyone say (and the thing that I'll say myself) is that I don't buy games of substandard quality that harm me as a consumer in any way. In the end, that's a positive net gain for the industry as it denies funding to its cancerous segments.
If that's "robin hood" to you, I don't know what to say to you, but I can tell you that you aren't going to change my mind.
Lucas Gray
Wew lad, the way you say it makes you look really fucking butthurt
Thomas Howard
I'm ok with pirating, but that is a terrible analogy. There is no naturally flowing river with free access when it takes people to make the "water" in the first place. The people you're calling kikes.
You're better off saying there's a "private lake" where you have to pay to swim if you walk in the road, but if you cut through the forest you can get in for free.
