How does Sup Forums justify piracy?

how does Sup Forums justify piracy?

average person does not give a fuck

Video game companies are too big and too corporate nowadays.

I only buy things with heart.

Also a cheapskate.

it's fun to play games, and I can get them for free if i pirate

Try before you buy innit

The same reason I imagine pretty much every pirate does.
We're poor.

I don't need to give justification, neither I want it

No demos, no refunds, untrustworthy reviews, so if you buy anything that's shit you get hosed so the logical step is to do what it takes to not get hosed

I don't, I'm just a cheap piece of shit who sometimes just wants free games

I dont.
I loathe pirates. They're nothing but thieves.

There is simply nothing you can do to stop them.

It's only entertainment. Idgaf

who care..

People who pirate don't need a reason. They do it cause they can.

>Hardly any demos coming out these days for new games
>Reviewers proving more and more these days that they're shitty at games, try to justify it, and can't be trusted on their opinions

There you go

Games cost more in Australia for no reason.

I don't. I'll pirate what I please and I don't justify it because I don't need to.

Why pay when you can steal and get away with it?

Apathy

like anyone gives a fuck about bean counters

it doesn't hurt anybody.

>how does Sup Forums justify piracy?

Justify?

Pirate or pirate not. There is no "justify".

This and because I'm not paying $110 for new releases.

this, nowadays game critics are more like journalists than gamers,

If they didn't want it copied without their permission, they shouldn't have put it in an environment that 1) copies things exceedingly well
and 2) put it on a medium that allows access from anywhere on the planet.

I used to actually steal a lot when I was a kid. Got caught a few times but ran away before cops could do anything. I stopped stealing where I could get caught.

Piracy isn't stealing, but it's similar. Let me know when i'm actually at risk of getting in trouble and I'll find another way to get my content for free.

>buy movie
>its legally mine

>buy video game
>i only have a licence to play it

they deserve it

I only pirate games that I can't legally buy on that platform/for that version anyways, so they didn't lose a sale anyways.

i pirate only early access game

if they want my money, get your shit togheter and do your work you lazy faggots

>do I want it
>y/n
>if y
>is there something that would force me to buy the game (playing for MP etc)
>y/n
>if n, pirate
>if y, is there and business practice that I don't want to support (pre-order bonuses, always online SP, platform locked content and so on?
>if n, buy
>if y, skip and shitpost about

>The overworked game dev is still making his small wage, regardless of the outcome of the game's sales
You're mainly only hurting the rich faggots at the top which can never have enough money.

Fuck those people, they're the ones ruining gaming.

The gnome speaks the truth

I don't. I don't care if people think it's right or not. I don't feel like paying, and if I have an easy way of getting around that, I'll take it.

I don't.
I just do it because I ain't got no cash.
Fuck you Amerifat.

The same way their justify their shit purchases.

Damage control.

> This is what piratecucks actually believe

absence of demos.

...

Came here to post this image.

I've always been a cheapskate.
There's zero reprocussions, so why waste money?

If I see it on a steam sale for a few quid then I'll probably buy it for convenience.

If my computer is shit, i will not pay for a subpar experience.

no demos and constant dlc, season pass and microtransactions bullshit.

Hell, in some cases you need to pay to be a beta tester.

Also i bet pic related happens with games too.

I pay only for indies
and only if the are good.

it's objectively true, though.
Do you think piracy has any impact on the take home pay of the people who actually work on games? The only people hurt are the jews who collect all the profit

>buy movie
>its legally mine
You still can't broadcast/project it, so it's hardly "yours".

>that image
Has anybody here ever got arrested for downloading video games from internet illegaly?

>buy movie
>its legally mine

user...

I don't. I do it because i can - fuck you

Justifying piracy is dumb.

Like, if you wanna pirate, pirate. No need to fucking justify yourself.

i have money, and i have never played a senran kagura game and have not had the means to. i plan on downloading the new steam release when it comes out so I can try it because i heard it was good. i plan on playing it for a while and then buying it if i like it, and uninstalling it if i don't. i'm not sure if it's for me so i would like to see how it is. is this a bad idea?

>Pirates are cucks
>For not giving their money away if they can keep it
???

Well there is, because in many cases there are people pirating who would otherwise buy the games if industry practices weren't so bad.

No, because those Jews will cut people/costs so that they can make their money.

The ones at the top ALWAYS make their money. Shit rolls downhill, not up, and the consumer is at the top of the retail pyramid.

Your concept of business is just above high school part-timer at McDonalds. Are you from /biz/?

It's just a game bro, you need to chill

I don't. If i don't feel like buying a game, i won't.

>that guy that thinks pirating is a moral crusade against big companies and acts like he's sticking it to the man

I don't.
I just don't give a fuck.


I pirate all I can pirate. Deal with it.
>have to buy Battlefield cause can't pirate the online
>pirate TW3

:^)

No, at most right now all they can do is tell your internet service provider to threaten you.

>"Stop downloading Game of Thrones or we'll shut off your internet"
Kek, I'll switch providers if you bother me again niggers.

I don't try to justify piracy. If I want to play a game and don't want to pay for it, I'll pirate it.

That is all.

guess what retard we have tons of companies ripping us off in gaming every day. we support those who work with us and pirate everything from shits like ea and bethesda

>songwriters and artists are separate
what? do performers nowadays not write their own songs?

I don't need a reason.

I'm not like one of those faggots who use the "w-well... it doesn't affect the sales of the game or affects the company's revenue if I wasn't going to buy it anyway! T-the money only affect retail!"

I know what I do is wrong under DRM regulations, I'm broke and I still want to be apart of gaming discussions, so I pirate games. And even if I have money, which many times I come across, I still pirate. There is no worse feeling than falling for the hype, purchasing a game, and then realizing its a piece of shit and using mind games to justify your purchase.

Very few top artists do

> Nowadays

This has been like this since before Frank Sinatra. Seriously.. where have you been?

Because I'm sick of paying big money for broken ports and bad games especially when there's no demo I can use to judge the product. Essentially, I'll pirate it so I can give it a go. I've bought many games I've otherwise had no interest in simply because I've pirated it to give it a go and found that it was actually really good.

I don't. There isn't a justification. I'd steal and rob shit in real life too if the opportunity and repercussion cost were as low as it is with piracy. You'd be fucking dumb as a box of rocks not to.

Not sure what bands you listen to but everyone I've ever listened to writes their own songs.

I use it to play older games for the PS1 & N64 that you can't find in store or distribution on the new consoles.

So you don't listen to pop? The biggest money-maker in the music industry and the scale by which the metric is made?

That's not surprising, but most artists do not write their own material.

Also, I guarantee every single of of the bands you listen to have a marakable percentage of their songs not written by anyone in the band, covers not included. That's just how the industry works.

I pirate everything else. Why should video games get an exception?

Do I really need to justify it? I don't care. It's just copyright infringement, who gives a fuck. Life is too expensive and short to justify spending $60 on every new digital toy that comes out. All these "DOWN WITH BIG CORPORATIONS!" faggots are annoying, I literally only pirate games because it's easy and free. The developers get paid to create the game whether it sells well or not, do people actually think they make the game for free and then get paid per copy sold?

Depends on the music. This has been a normal thing in pop music for decades. Did you know Michael Jackson didn't write thriller? He had a team of songwriters for that. Conversely, dedicated songwriters are unheard of in, say, Heavy Metal where the music is almost always written by the members of the band.

No I don't really listen to pop. The only example I know of a song not being written by its performer is that "These Boots Are Made For Walking" song by Sinatra's daughter or whatever.

Also I very highly doubt that Black Sabbath, Budgie, CCR, David Bowie, Deep Purple, Diamond Head, Dio, Dire Straits, Eagles, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Megadeth, Metallica, Mike Oldfield, Motorhead, Mott the Hoople, Pink Floyd, Queen, Rainbow, Roger Waters, Simon and Garfunkel and The Who didn't write their own songs.

It's free real estate baby

>all that extremely mainstream dadrock shit
Yeah, I'm sure no one EVER wrote their songs for them.

>would you copy a expensive car with the push of a button AND knowing theres no consequence?

>justify piracy
I don't
I just dew it

>Fuck those people, they're the ones ruining gaming
they're the ones funding the game you're pirating dumbass

Yes.

Kill yourself, subhuman nigger.

Re-read my comment. I outright said that heavy metal bands almost always write their own songs. You've effectively just repeated what I've said.

Its free
WIth that said however my stream library is half decent, sure its full of games I bought on sale, but still.
I DO have money for games, but enough for games and drinks with my friends, for instance.
With Denuvo getting more prominent and my university ending next month, Ill move away from piracy. But for now, Im not going to give up fun because of money.

White as a tissue.

This. Only games I buy are those who can't access the online in the pirated copy.

My ISP doesn't care either so it's all good.

Hilary Clinton steals from taxpayers by taking bribes and nothing happens to her, therefore I will continue to pirate unless someone honest like Trump wins the presidency.

It is free
There are no repercussions
For my 1 pirate, there are 17 retards who will buy it, and so I have no guilt
No DRM
If it sucks I've lost nothing
If it rules I can buy it
If it doesn't run I don't care

How can you justify purchasing without playing?

A tissue with shit and piss on it, subhuman nigger.

how do you justify not pirating?

And you'd be right.

>Black Sabbath
the bassist, Geezer Butler, wrote most lyrics while Tony Iommi, the guitar player, handled the music
>Budgie
the bassist and vocalist wrote the songs
>CCR
Fogerty wrote them
>David Bowie
wrote them all himself
>Deep Purple
somewhat of a group effort
>Diamond Head
Brian Tatler, guitar player, wrote most of it while singer gave lyrics
>Dio
nigga wrote all the songs for the bands he was in
>Dire Straits
Mark Knopfler wrote them all
>Eagles
never really looked it up, but I'm pretty sure it's a split between the drummer/guitar player
>Iron Maiden
Steve Harris, bass player, and the singer
>Judas Priest
Rob Halford with guitar players

My skin is cleaner than your mom's white panties.

>can't pirate Doom
>every thread I post in everyone calls me an idiot even though I watched most of it on Youtube
This is horseshit.

but I didn't reply to your comment user
I read it but I wasn't contesting it

>shoot enemy
>enemy goes into STUN
>2 second melee animation
Repeat ad infinitum

It's not something that needs to be justified to begin with.

Either you pirate things, or you don't.
End.

I'm not interested in being dragged down by your moral baggage

I don't. I acknowledge that it's stealing and don't do any mental gymnastics to justify my doing of it.

It's certainly not whiter than your fathers nigger filled rectum though.

Master Yoda speaks true.

Does emulation count as piracy?

I'll add that to the text doc.

I'd like to buy a house that was put up for sale
>Okay it costs this much
Well, I'd like to see the house
>Here is a picture of the house
No, I'd like to be taken to the house, and the house to be shown to me.
>what
You know what, nevermind

How do you justify paying large amounts of money on something that can easily be bad?

Even Steam refunds is not an excuse. If you refund too many times, they will warn you that Steam refunds is explicitly NOT a "trial" service. It is there for games that won't run for you, not for games that you don't like.

No gods, no masters, no bedtimes. I do what I want, I'll pirate anything I feel like.
Like, sometimes I just download shit that I know I'll never use just cause. Nothing personnel but I can't be bothered to pay for shit if they can't be bothered to try anymore.
