He doesn't pirate video games

>he doesn't pirate video games

I treat buying games as kickstarting their sequels.

it's more convenient

>pirates all his games
>sequels to his favorite games are never made
>normies continue to fund lootbox microtransaction crap and the industry takes note
>complains on Sup Forums about how shitty the medium is now
Dumb frogfucker.

>sequel has microtra sactions
How does it feel to be cucked?
Not an argument.

Not him but I want to pirate games because this hobby is for children and of you people are nerds. Cant wait for it to fucking die. Real patricians watch anime, the superior medium, where piracy is law.

we all are sitting in the same boat

I buy some of them, and then I pirate some of them

how can you argue with me? regardless of your opinion, we are on the same side

>spends his hard earned money on a manchild hobby
>judges others on the internet
>not knowing piracy helps sales

>this is what hapas actually believe

Never happened to me. It's good to have hipster weeb shit taste.

Name a game in 2017 worth pirating but not worth buying other than Cuphead

>being poor

>piriting means you can't afford the video game
lol

>"I-i was going to buy it I swear! I j-just don't have the money r-right now!"

>he doesn't steal components to upgrade his PC

>I only get cucked SOME of the time.
Soyboys need not aplly

>pirating=theft
Lol

>achievements
The absolute state of buyfags

>not knowing piracy helps sales

Here, user, I bought you a coffee with all my RECOGNITION DOLLARS

user, why do you think I'm happy to lend my friends my vacuum cleaner free of charge, but I ask them to split the cost if they want to leech off my Netflix account?

I know right, pirating is waaaay worse, it's not even comparable.

Software developers lose millions to pirates, I doubt Nvidia has lost more than 10k to thieves.

>In 20 years less than $20k of Nvidia equipment have been stolen in the world
C'mon.

>can easily get obscure games
If you can buy it it's not obscure, getting ACTUALLY obscure games is often easier via torrents
>>steamworkshop
Botnet for retards that can't mod ran by/for reddit
>>easy to update or redownload when mods fuck up
Mods shouldn't fuck up if you're not a retard,just use backups.
>>high speed downlaod
Lolno, torrents are often faster
>>achievements
You are the cancer that's killing the industry
>>cool interface
This HAS TO be bait
>>can screenshot or bring up a browser in game when needed
WOW DUDE I CAN TAKE SCREENSHOTS AND LET VALVE COLLECT MY DATA BECAUSE I'M TOO DUMB TO DOWNLOAD SOME OTHER OVERLAY SOFTWARE
>>no viruses or trojans
You download steam/unity/origin, I download drm-free games often repacked to weight less.

Thieves are too busy stealing 20k worth of hardware from apple stores in a single run.

Buyer's remorse.
If you actually use Netfl*x you are retarded. A vacuum cleaner does something you can't do on your own, this is just a worse torrent client.

I never really got how to pirate things

>by/for reddit
stopped reading there

Not an argument :^)

>autism

Go to any fucking steam workshop mod and look at the comments.
it's full of reddit

It's not supposed to bd one, I'm just calling you a retard.
It's the truth.

>download game
>install
>play
???

>It's the truth.
No, the point is you focused on the examples I gave instead of the principle of the question.

slow down dude, it's not THAT easy surely

Sometimes you also need to follow the instructions thd torrenter gives you, usually you just have to copy some file or folder, paste it somewhere else and click "replace"
I have yet to see instructions with more than 6 steps, and that includes "play"

I see, now I can play shit AAA games without paying for them

Please give a better example then.
Netflix is a great allegory for steam actually,both do nothing that third party software can't do yet they cost you vast amounts of money, where as a vacuum cleaner's work can't be replicated by hand.

>please give me a better example then
I know, because you have autism.

But anyway, why do you think I would lend a physical object to my friends for free without charge, but I would ask them to chip in for a service I pay for regularly that they can easily use with no loss to me?

>Pirate games
>They auto install in some backwoods folder
>Forget where they are installed
>hundreds of gigs lost

What the fuck man.

>he saved the fucking thumbnail
Are you legit braindead?

Because one requires you to pay a subscription fee?
Because you think you're somehow losing out on value thst way?
Because it's socially acceptable to do so?
Because you secretly see that you are paying for an inferior product then the one you could easly get for free and you don't want the other person to be able to get said product for free when you pay for it?

Another one, because you want to pretend as though your subscription has some value and isn't just a meme you fell for.

Correct, the answer is that when an item/service is not tangible, its only inherent value is its exclusivity.
Just like how the value of a magic trick drops significantly once people know what it is.

So yes, by pirating you are increasing supply which increases demand which ROBS companies of potential buys.

Not him but I legit can't think of one.

look up treesize and see if itll help

Ah yes, this is why the witcher series is a success despite being on gog?
People will support good games that follow good business practices.

>he spends real life money on digital media
>he spends money on children's toys of all things

Then you are the problem with modern capitalism.

Go to any clothing store and notice they have a "buy 2 get 1 free shirt" deal on that's only lasting for the next half hour. You line up with your 1 shirt and notice a bunch of other people are doing the same because none of them want to pay for the price of 2 shirts. So then you go up to 2 random people, that you don't know, and tell them to pay on the same bill and ask if you can have the third shirt.
I mean, after all, they were planning on buying those shirts anyway, right? It's no loss to them, right?

However, literally nobody would agree to that. They would instead say "well why do YOU get the free shirt?" Why not me?

Same shit.

It's selfish and naive to let OTHER people be the payers for a game you want to see continue and get sequels. And let me tell you something, user, being solipsistic is .objectively immoral.

wheres those retards that spout the "piracy makes a copy, theft steals the original" shit lines
What are COPYRIGHT Laws you fuck

you can read it, can't you?
anyway, pretty sure I didn't

So what you're saying is if I made a game and it was a 10/10 masterpiece and released it for free, it would be nearly worthless to you where as the next AAA 80$ trash is great value?

Look at the filename and image size.
>It's selfish and naive to let OTHER people be the payers for a game you want to see continue and get sequels.
How is that selfish?

>worthless
Nice hyperbole. But your game would certainly have MORE value if you put a price on it.

>How is that selfish?
lol if I ask anyone if they're willing to chip in for a blender at the office, and nobody offers, and I buy it anyway, would you still ask to use my blender every now and then?
Because if you did, I would refuse letting you, and rightfully so.

>However, literally nobody would agree to that.
I would, what does that make me?

An exception. Or a sore loser trying desperately to try to win an argument despite knowing they've already lost.

At best, you would have people organising themselves into groups of 3 and splitting the total cost amongst each other.

>Then you are the problem with modern capitalism
Letting someone borrow your shit is the problem with modern capitalism?

>because you want to pretend as though your subscription has some value and isn't just a meme you fell for.
>Correct
Why did the conversation go beyond this point when it should have ended there.

EXPECTING someone to lend you their shit and relying on that and intentionally not paying for your own shit is the problem with modern capitalism.

If people shared things with eachother instead of being selfish, the world whould be a better place, no?

>objectively immoral.
user, I...

Everyone would feel like they're getting ripped off, dude. It would lead to a lot of resentment.

Yeah, maybe you would because yoh fall for every corporate meme there is. Do you have a TV subscription as well?

/thread

>because you want to pretend as though your subscription has some value and isn't just a meme you fell for.
>Correct
I am screengrabing this as proof.

What is this supposed to imply?

If I downlaod a game 10 times, does that mean I stole 10 times the proce of said game?

Ubi is showing the world how to stop pirating.

Running a virtual machine on top on Denuvo...

Shit is fucking beautiful.

you nerds take the bait every time

how embarassing

Still waiting for a non-meme response
