Piracy

I have a friend who pirates literally any video game that he wants to play that he can pirate. He even hacks his game consoles/handhelds as soon as possible so that he can pirate video games and sometimes laughs at me for not just pirating a new single player game.

Why don't people like this get arrested?

Because most of the people out there are whiny faggots like you, so the minority (us) can get everything for free.

Why focus legal resources on that at all?

Why is it only video games that people sperg out when it comes to piracy?

I've written several letters to gaben (the PC god xD) that I will never pirate and I always buy games when they are at full price so Gabe Newell gets more money.

It's disgusting that parasites like pirates gets stuff for free!

Sounds like your friend is a total bro for hanging out with a fucking faggot like you.
Sorry, just saying it like it is.

I don' think the issue is your friend pirates, I think the issue is he's a big dumb faggot.
Kinda like you OP. No offense.

Maybe you should listen to his advice and save up your cash. Why would you waste your money on a single player toy?

You realize you are on a site that promotes torrenting and even has a torrenting board right? you don't belong here stop posting and leave. Sage

>people spending money when they dont have to
i will never understand gentiles t b h

The police force generally has a philosophy of going after distributors and not users. So the few times there is a big arrest over piracy it is usually taking down the people who are putting the shit up and not the other way around. Also taking down distribution centers like the websites they come from and their servers.

The reality is also that they cant take down as many people as there are pirating shit. In the same way that the police cant conceivably solve every real life theft. They just don't have the resources and in the case of piracy they just don't have the know how most of the time. So unless your ISP batch squeals on you and reports your shit, they basically have no way of knowing in most cases anyway.

Just sperg out and break his shit. Can't pirate games on broken chunks of metal and plastic, fucker.

>big arrest over piracy
top fucking KEK @ the """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""free""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" world

The problem with the industry is the retard whales that enables mmos apps lootboxes etc, piracy is negligible compared to those cancer, i dont mind sharing games with poorfag peasants at all

Don't mind me, just pirating this wallet. If I like it, I'll buy it!

Because the police is busy watching CP and getting more to expand their collections and doing other more important shit than to arrest an insignificant worm that just steals a bunch of games.
It is like arresting a fucking liquor store robber, they get out and just do it again anyways.

How does a dev lose money if someone pirates their game

Because you aren't in film circles where people are lamenting the death of middle of the road, decent but huge huuuuuuge budget movies?

While you are in video game circles which are lamenting the exact same problem.And it's a problem because of 30 fucking years of wage stagnation.

>fake leather
>shitty pictures
>no Costco card

Meh. Not worth buying.

because you touch yourself every night.

I don't pirate, but I don't care about people who do. The only people who bother me are the pirates who shit on buyfags. The games literally exist for them to pirate because buyfags such as myself.

You sound upset.

>pirate game
>beat it
>never pay for it

Maybe he should try pirating a new game to take his mind off things.

I can get video games for free, with zero consequences.
Why the fuck would I ever pay? Only a literal retard would do so.

>go on YouTube
>search [game] walkthrough
>watch the whole thing like a movie because there is no reason to replay it
>never pay for it

no idea, the only games I buy are though key sites of course. every day is steam sales for me.

>didn't even read the posts he replied to
I will never ever buy video games.

Because you are literally retarded. Only """Gamers""" whine about piracy while the industry uses it as an excuse to explain low sales or get out of porting something knowing they are full of shit.

You haven't seen shit until you look at the movie, music, and porn industries. Those faggots completely lost their mind about it and are on some holy crusade to make everything the way they want it to be instead of adapting to the change.

The game industry almost doesn't care. The movie and music industry spend billions trying to influence governments all over the world to turn a civil issue into a criminal issue with a death sentence.

That's not the dev tho. If it's an indie, self published, game i'll buy it. But MOST devs are paid before the game is even on shelves. You're just paying the publishers who shove pre-orders and force the devs to put bullshit in the game like pre-order bonuses, move main story content to DLC, release before ready because patches, ect.

They lose only money in theory.
That's how companies and devs put it in perspective, because it is bullshit that you have to buy something without knowing if you will like it or not.
With paid reviews and shills everywhere, it is very hard to actually get objective opinions of what to buy and if it deserves to be bought.
So you either pirate the game and check it out or you take the risk and buy some garbage without the chance to get your money back (except for steam refunds now).

The publishers still support the game.

The publishers ruin the game.

That pic tho
>how many memes are you on right now?
>i don't know maybe 5 or 6 my dude

Because the government has better things to do than give a single shit about piracy in any form.
Also there is absolutely zero evidence that piracy has any negative consequences whatsoever, and even evidence to the contrary.

Why do you stay friends with him? People don't tend to want their real friends arrested user. Quit being friends and show him how much of a sperg you really are, or just stay here and post higher quality bait.
