Is it ethical to pirate one game for every 10 games you buy?

is it ethical to pirate one game for every 10 games you buy?

While it's definitely a much better ratio than most of Sup Forums, just think if someone pickpocketed a CD for every ten CDs they bought. Getting caught isn't worth whatever you think you are saving.

no, pirates are online niggers
>want stuff for free
>"gimme dat" mindset
>mental gymnastic why it's ok
>chimp out when you call them out on it

Nah I do it because I can and I refuse to give certain companies my money

>not pirating every game

don't you know game publishers benefit from piracy? you're doing them a huge favor by illegally downloading their games.

just pirate every game nigga. who gives a fuck wat u do.

I think piracy is ethical and is simply a byproduct of our communal human roots mixing with the new frontier of the internet.

so yes one out of ten is fine

>is it ethical to pirate one game
Ethics are defined by our treatment of other races and animals, its a broad social application
I think you mean to say is it moral to pirate
And in that case, it still doesn't apply. Its a legal boundary, not a moral one. Its copyright infringement, and if proved, you face fines.

Its simple, If a game is 5 years old its okay to pirate, it only effects the publisher at that point, a developer sees no money from sales and by the 5 year mark the publisher will have already decided whether to hire that developer again. Be aware 5 years is very generous when its more like 2 or 3.

>>Sup Forums
no need for that kind of racism in here

i wonder who is behind this post?

user, if you were old enough for the filesharing court trials, then you would know that publishers run a train on the individuals that they catch. That one pirate is expected to pay $20,000+ to represent thousands of others.

I rarely pay for games anymore even if I have the money, opting to spend it on something else whenever possible, except in very specific cases, because of the countless "guaranteed" and "surely incredible" titles I've been fucked by in the past 5 years. This industry brought this on itself with its blunder after blunder.

>is it ethical to kill one person for every 10 people you save?

Fuck You. I pirate all my shit and make 6 figures, own a sports car and fuck hot chicks all the time. What the fuck are you going to do about it fuckboi?

>online niggers already chimping out and preforming mental gymnastics
thanks for ptoving the points

The EU commissioned (and then tried to suppress) a study that showed there is no impact on sales from piracy, in fact piracy helped sales somewhat. So go nuts, pirate as much as you want. There is officially no problem with it.

depends on the ethnicity of the one person

kek

That doesn't happen anymore.
