pls no pirate :(

it's very bad :(

Not really.

lol great thread op

You need to step outside user. There's this thing called population growth. 20 years ago, if someone pirated your DOS game 500 times against your predictions, you were treading water. Nowadays, they fucking expect to lose tens of thousands of copies, and even hope for it, as they can sometimes convince people to buy the full game if it's good enough but not in this climate.

P.S. Nice using the exact same image and more or less copy-pasting the exact same thread we've had every week for the last 5 weeks, where I say the exact same thing. Which dev do you shill for? pne of the big ones, surely.

new games aren't worth pirating

Who the fuck let cuckchan in here?

No shit as most games suck nowadays anyway.

It's when they write a 2 paragraph spiel and devolve into all caps and redtext that you know they're serious.

It's not that piracy is dead, it's because the most recent games are so shit it's not worth pirating.

Okay i don't even know what the fuck you're talking about there so it should have 0 relevance

What's even worth pirating lately?

Look at your release list that you might have handy. Nothing worth playing, not even anything coming out in the first quarter next year that piques my interest. Maybe south park, but that shit's got denuvo, so it ain't getting purchased or pirated.

>Who the fuck let cuckchan in here?

it's not worth it now.

I thought denuvo was finally hacked into??.

What's to understand? I've seen this "piracy is dead" thread every week. It's clearly shilling if you use the same thread every time, and reusing the image is just as bad an indicator.

Come on, you made $0.10, now stop.

Jesus, you really are new. Denuovo isn't one fucking thing, each game has seperate encryption and needs a seperate crack. Also, nice failing greentext and disinfo.

Are you just salty that your new God Emperor just killed the TPP?

Somebody's paranoid.

...

Our new God Emperor, fam.

holy shit are you baiting within a bait ?

pls, I've got to still elect in my glorious leaders here in ausland.

name them
because i dont know what the hell is going on anymore

I never said I knew who they were. We've got to find them first.

Perhaps it could be you or me, user. Those silly Labor cunts made it stupid easy to get into the senate.

Thanks for telling me shit i already knew retard


Not really but as someone who has been here since the site first came out i can honestly say almost 90% of you guys on here are all new friends.

> nice failing greentext

Everybody makes mistakes and or acts like a fag ill. own up to that LOL.

o-o

You realize i'm doing it on purpose for the LULZ.

That's the joke, this time at least.


If you already knew it wasn't one thing, you wouldn't ask if it was cracked.
And I couldn't care less if you've been on here since 2013, that's still pretty fucking new by all imageboard standards.

Is this fag serious?? also only new users call people newfags.

are


you

doing this


on purpose


to make people think


it's "redditspacingXD"?

What you should do is what everyone else does. When you get called out or every starts shitting on you, just leave the thread and it dies off. You're only making it worse.

HELLO NEW PEOPLE xD

I've always wanted to fuck the skull from pirate flags

LOL

RIP thread. OP was a faggot

Ebin.

I was late to the party in 2008. I would never not consider myself a newfag. I also don't like to use the term at all. Maybe your best course of action is just to lurk more.

In the end piracy means only preserving the games for the future. Hooray for piracy! Hooray for emulators!

Yeah that is kinda true user.

...

Piracy is over guys

Exactly, and how many of those are even worth pirating?
Checkmate, hillary.

What site?

Dude the far left Iceland pirate party is growing like crazy
What are you taking about ?

like an user said once, companies finally managed to beat the pirates. It turns out the best anti piracy method is to make games so shit they're not worth a pirate

If you are talking about piracy all together no it is not completely dead and never will be people will always want free shit.

Why would anyone bother to pirate current AAA titles?

Is not dead, is just that there are no interesting games to play nowadays.

very true user

Nope, is just not as prevalent as it once was.

why would you even think this

rgmechanics.com/

The site doesn't look dead.

Oh and I pirated FF type 0 last night.

Oh wait you mean recent triple A trash!

I literally can't help you there OP. I read about mainstream games sometimes but I don't go looking for them, legal or otherwise.

Hopefully not the new one, the PSP version is the superior version of type 0. Square fucked up some things with the re-release.

This

Haven't played it yet. The game was COMPRESSED as hell. Took me 90 minutes just to install.

...

Holy shit paradox, your devs are some shitters

...

more like, show which sites you are using so we can shut them down goy

Piracy isn't just about playing new games when they come out. You can still pirate old games, and it's a great way to build a collection to play later.

God Eater worth playing?

I think OP is claming that when he types "Pirate Ass Creed 23" on google, he no longer finds a direct link download to a site that doesn't allow HTTPS and provides him with a 50kb/s download.

Maybe. Either that, or he's just a faggot from the 4chinz.

Well at least Square Enix somewhat understands its audience

So I'm guessing you're One Eyed Willy.

:(

I don't pirate, I steal.
Yes, I got to the publishers server, Cut+Paste the game on a USB stick and then delete any backup. I'm an evil fuck.

Dead, not realy, but even easier than it was in the Commodore days.
Game comes out on Steam -> You can use the same steam loader you have been using for years, it even supports multiplayer.
(Only a few have a second tier of authentication, Dominions 4 (but here you only have to use a not blacklisted key) and most of the rest are some multiplayer microtransaction shit or generic shooters.)
GOG -> Singleplayer without problems, if it has galaxy mutliplayer it often is out on steam too.
Matrix/Slitherine -> Same Keygen/Patcher since the dawn of time, some Multiplayer Games use their own auth Servers, but the community rebelled so it happens less frequently now.
Then came Denuvo and they shot themselves in the foot with the DooM Demo to give the filthy pirates a way to circumvent it.

Also:
There are almost no new games worth your attention now.

Hasn't ever console buy the Xbone been hacked?

False. Or at least partially.

Start digging for AA games. They're flawed, yes. And most of the time, they reek of "amateur dev". But they often have interesting ideas or do something right.
Two examples I tried recently:
Knights and Merchants mixed with Lovecraft. Actually works really well and has a nice consistent artstyle/fluff. Gameplay suffers bit from constantly waiting around for stuff until you unlock most of the buildings.

It's your poor man's Alien: Isolation. Atmosphere is pretty cool, the models are laughly bad at times, and has that corny style of really amateur devs.

If you wanna blame someone for the state AAA games are now, blame people who buy that shit. The devs and publishers are giving the players what they wanted. AAA is a "costumers market". The costumers decide what they want and the companies provide.

AA are devs/publishers that can take risks and experiment since their budgets aren't multimilionary. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it sucks ass.

...

lurk moar

Honest answer is yes. Piratefags are just too btfo to admit it.

...

ALSO TPP IS DEAD
PRAISE KEK

I didn't think the linux version would be the one that was cracked first

...

another reason for devs to avoid that non gaming OS

Good yeah, Chaim.
Even if the devs aren't interested in 60fps, they know the extra perfomance can be used to slap a bunch more polygons, post-processing and particle effects while retaining the cinematic 27 fps.

No it hasnt. There just hasnt been any games worth cracking. And for every torrent site they take down, 3 take their place. But remember user, pirating is wrong, unless its against EA or Ubisoft, but who would want to play their games anyway?

Those teeth come down and he's gonna be no eyed willy.

and selling nothing at the same time

We need an holocaust soon.

piracy is never gonna die nor should it

Many torrent websites were closed, where to get software now?

store.steampowered.com/

Just google it. :^)

shoo shoo chris hansen the jew

You do realize that most torrenting clients have there own built in search engines. like said, you can use google to find any torrent site if you're too stupid.

I will never understand the suits logic on this.

you might've saged this thread but you're getting saged at life faggot

R G Mechanics are some top notch Slavs. They compress really well, and have pretty quick turnarounds, as well as a nice selection of old and obscure games on top of new ones.

Too bad they don't put nice music in their installers.

too bad they make repacks, too

a retail store losing a copy won't affect them. It will affect the retail store only. The store might even have to order more copies to replace what was stolen, so the publisher benefits in this case.

The reason why priacy is hated so much by them is because it takes power away from the publishers and gives it back to normal people.

This

Realistically piracy only works for single player games of which no popular ones have been released recently.

brb pirating EU4 out of spite even though I can't into grand strategy

Tuungle exists. Plus mmorpgs have private pirate servers. They are fun as fuck.

Please tell me this is true.

perhaps if you werent such jews people wouldnt pirate your games, paradox

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean it's not true.

Holla Forums's user count has fallen, not risen. Its just like the anons who cry go back to reddit, your yelling at the same faggots you shitpost with, besides shilling is super blatant anyway.

demonoid, but if you're going to go there I'd suggest getting no script browser add on because the faggots have annoying fake virus pop ups that you cant click out of.

I've downloaded it but haven't played it yet, its supposed to be a bit like monster hunter I think.
