This is what piratefags sound like.
Steal a ham
>food analogy
let me guess...you are american
whos that girl?
>he doesn't do that
Enjoy paying for your lower-grade overpriced ham, you cuck.
>implying stealing is the same as copyright infringement
This is what people with american education sound like.
>steal a ham
>person you stole it from still has their ham
>muh opportunity cost/lost profit
Very few people who pirate would buy the game anyway. I've pirated a few games. The only reason I bothered was because I was never going to actually buy them. After pirating, I still bought other games that I actually wanted.
My wife, now fuck off
i dont understand why people jump through hoops to make these dumb analogies about pirating
i pirate games cause i dont wanna pay for them, the end.
I want her.

Haha evil fucking pirates am I right

How pathetic.
More like

>eats the whole thing
>"w-well it didn't have seasoning on it so I'm just boycotting them instead.. "
Piratefags just look for reasons to justify their behavior and hide behind moral reasons they keep making up. Even if a dev would bow down to them and give them a drm free version and dlc they'll still pirate and come up with shitty excuses that involve personal Shit with the Dev or whatever. There's no pleasing freeloaders who don't want to admit they just want free shit.

you are either still in grade school or a neet if you can't buy games
jobs practically give you free money, how can you not afford games?
W-well if you ask nicely m-maybe i could...

How American

You need video games in order to stay alive?
>using emulators
How else am I supposed to play God Hand at 60fps?
You know that calling copyright infringement theft is like calling everything rape right?
You might as well dye your hair red or blue and get some problem glasses.
This.
This is piracy. Not OP's shitty example.
It's not about being unable to afford them. It's not wanting to reward the developers.
>pirate games
>can now spend the money I would have spent on games on other things and STILL have the games
Literally free money
>emulator
>piracy
Implying the implicated implications are we?
It's just better to play in PC. Who are you to say people are not already owning GBA but sick of playing them on 3 inch screen in 2017? Fuck off already OP
The ONLY time piracy is justified is when the company isn't making any money with that game anymore, like with an older game.
Not really, food and digital goods aren't the same thing. That said though, digital piracy is stupid because:
> Don't pay for a game
> devs build next game targeted towards people who will pay
> next game winds up being sjw because feminists are to dumb to pirate
> complain but no one gives a shit about non payers
Pirates are stupid because they exchange long term influence for short term loss aversion. And in the end, the market and industry entirely leaves them behind with no games or money.
There's a reason pundits constantly complain about not enough spending regulations in politics, and it's because rich people know money is the only language power understands, so spending money is literally the only way to influence the market and make more money.
You know any disc based emulator can use the original discs right?
We're talking about ham
>literally justifying pirating an entire console
>copy a ham
>"I-it's okay, we can now enjoy it together"
Agreed.
>they exchange long term influence for short term loss aversion
Irrelevant in terms of indie developers who never make sequels anyway, and AAA studios that are already in the shitter like Capcom and Square because sometimes it's better to see them die off.
>go to a mechanic

Good going dipshit
that's not even a comparable example

I know piracy isn't okay. I just don't give a fuck.

They're sold on a loss anyway.

Fucking pleb the accurate food analogy is stealing a recipe.
you just "stole" a man work. he didnt "lost" any item. just time and money
is the perfect annalogy
I want her to pee on me tbqh
Give me a single reason why I should use my disposable income on this cucked industry when I can get the same products free and easily.
Seriously though it's more like
>"Hey man can I borrow this ruler that you aren't using?"
>"No if you want a ruler go buy one yourself, I paid for that ruler with my own money and effort. If you want to use one you should do the same."
>*takes ruler and uses it anyway*
>"Here's your ruler back. You didn't need it did you?"
>"No I didn't, but I said you couldn't use my ruler that belonged to me and was put into my possession through effort."
Or something like that anyway
Why pay for anything?
>break into market, take food
>break into store, steal a TV
because those are harder to pull off
if I was a master thief that could never get caught like I am with digital goods of course I'd steal all that shit
>why aren't you eating this shit? are you too poor to buy this shit and put it in your mouth?
wagies
It did kinda blow my mind the first time I ever tried this. It seems so obvious in hindsight.
do you speak english?
If I could steal those things and not face the consequences, I would.
this
I don't need a shitty "justified" reason to pirate.
Man you moralfags make my day every time this thread appears. Nothing better than salty buyfag tears.
>there are people who buy games after pirating them
Why though?
>greasy skinned pimply white boi asks to "borrow" my ruler
>told him to fuck off and just use the classroom's ruler because this one's mine
>later notice that my ruler is gone
>grease stained white boi comes back to me
>here's your ruler, I told you you didn't need it but I did
>look at ruler, has fucking shitty pen scribble drawings on it and feels greasy and sticky to the touch
>what the fuck man?
>it's just pirating bro, relax, it's not like I stole it.
>go inside grocery store
>pull out device to replicate ham
>walk out
>enjoy the ham
>go back and buy the actual ham to support my local grocer
This is what copyright infringement is. If I didn't enjoy the ham on the other hand I can find a more worthy place to allocate my funds.
There's this thing called free samples. Not all food businesses do it, but it exists. Also,
>food analogy
>duplicate shitty lowgrade ham in hopes that it may not be awful
>it's awful
>thank god i didn't waste money on this incompetence
Not ITT:
>Tears
Nice meme.
Free samples are demos
some consoles with unusual disc formats like dreamcast/gamecube/wii would give you a hard time with this though
what's wrong with food analogies?
i was satisfied with the product i pirated and want to support the developer and publisher
reddit is down the hall to the left
...
>all these lil bitch nigga burgerclaps itt dropping noobscuses
Demos aren't common anymore and are also not representative of the final game. The lighting/shadows in Dark Souls 2 were present in the "beta demo" people were taking part in all the way up until release. Then the final release had all that shit yanked out.
A food sample is a pirated game, period. Playing the whole game is like eating the whole tray of samples which is frowned upon. If you enjoy it you should buy it.
underage
redpilled as fuck
My interpretation is that the only reason buyfags would make these threads all is salty tears inside. Especially given the recent Denuvo embarrassments my goodness
Because I liked it. I also bought 3 more copies for friends/family
>Copy a ham
>"I-it's okay, I'll go and pay for it if I enjoyed eating it!"
You'd be amazed how many places are willing to give me a small sample of something, if I promise to buy one if I like it.
I then buy it if I like it.
You know you can sample food before you buy it right? Ham, icecream, wine.
This is the same thing
>it's another buyfag tries to denounce piracy thread
Go back to Sup Forums.
you could have bought literally anything you wanted by now if you hadn't wasted money on games you can torrent for free.
You're offered those samples, you're not being offered a whole game.
>That feeling when you're at a LAN party and some guy copies your RAM and your graphics card

>go to furniture store and try to sit on couch

This is what you sound like OP.

nyoro~n
would you pay for a meal where the chef shat on it, then said you gotta pay extra for the sauce?
Also, ur a cuck.
He's not wrong
What if they're poor?
There are country where engineer make 5k as opposed to you cunt who can make 50k just by flipping burgers you know.
I give poor people whose week salary is worth an AAA game a pass. They can do whatever the fuck they want. I also won't accuse them of stuffs so I look superior on internet.
>steal a YouTube video by using Adblock
>lol who cares nobody got hurt
>pirate a game
>OH MY GOD YOU MURDERED 6 MILLION GAME DEVELOPERS CHILLING TRUTH
It's sad that demos died in the same generation when digital distribution became viable.
I downloaded the DOOM iso three times
deleting it after it was downloaded
and this was BEFORE Denuvo was bypassed!
That's THREE lost sales, that Denuvo couldn't prevent
Buyfags status: Completely btfo
do you also pay for other things you can get for free with no consequences? like oxygen
>Stealing by not viewing ads.
The web is a pull medium, not a push medium. I merely decline to pull ads

>Seasoning is region locked and unavailable for my region
PIRATES WIN AGAIN
That second one is completely correct though.
I'm going to pirate, what the fuck are you going to do about it? The real faggots are the ones who make excuses to pirate.
>b-but I will pay l-later, user
Spiting DRM and trying before you buy are entirely legitimately reasons so long as they're not just an excuse
Can't imagine any ye olde mustard disagreeing
>I'm going to pirate, what the fuck are you going to do about it?
