>I believe that I'm entitled to free things >I believe that company's and developer's financial investment should not be re-paid >I swear if I like it, I'll buy it!
Listen up cunts, and you listen good. You deserve nothing for free. These companies are developing for the medium you all love and enjoy, and every time you pirate games and software, you are stealing all of their intellectual labor. How fucking DARE you think that you're entitled to it. Fucking millennials I swear.
I'm currently pirating Nioh and Wolfenstein II. What are you gonna do about it, faggot?
Elijah Edwards
This thread suck and we just had it already. Fuck off.
Joseph Garcia
Have a (You) I'll be here downloading some new games that just came out.
Levi Johnson
Never said I deserved to get games for free though. I just can.
Asher Peterson
Nobody deserves anything.
Owen Peterson
But why pay when I can get it for free
Nolan Russell
cry harder faggot
Cooper Powell
you have to feel a bit sorry for day buycucks though they put up with a buggy release, full price and 3-4 drm layers, meanwhile I enjoy a less bugged game for free a few months down the line, with all dlcs included
Thomas Butler
i will continue to pirate everything and there's nothing you can do, faggot
Aaron Powell
>things no one said except for the last part, which is very accurate in my case t. person with over 1500 steam games
Jonathan Reed
if there weren't anyone to upload the games i would be content never having played them my whole life
Leo Bennett
>giving your hardearned money for a bunch of pixels moving on the screen
Buying PC was enough, everything else is free

OP, you're like one of those hall monitors in school that no one takes seriously.
Thomas Flores
how is getting hit by a train so low on pain
Thomas Kelly
I bet you downloaded that imagine for free. You fat fucking faggot. Check out all these free games. I swear I will buy them though.
Aaron Clark
That entirely depends where and how fast it hits.
Anthony Ward
Most likely because of the instant death.
Tyler Ramirez
>Using a torrent client with ads
Use qbittorent you pleb
Aaron Martin
>utorrent Gross.
Michael Ortiz
It blows my mind that people can survive shotgun suicides
Cameron Mitchell
I'll never understand why it matters. Because it doesn't. I ain't going to fix what ain't broken.
Chase Ortiz
Why I shouldn't pirate stuff I have for other platforms or remakes I will play for 10 minutes before uninstalling them?
Brandon Evans
Who cares. I'm going to continue to get free things and so is everyone else. There is no need to defend it. It's just going to keep happening.
Christopher Thomas
oh yeah, you dont want that, no sir.
Nicholas Roberts
>Not using Deluge Why?
Zachary Hall
Unless the publishers are not being fucking greedy fucks with these high prices and with the nickle and diming dlc and lootboxes. Ya har the pirate's life for me.
Nolan Hernandez
>utorrent >public trackers How old are you?
Colton Ramirez
listen up cunt, and you listen good. i don't give a shit about what you have to say, I'm gonna continue pirating, I don't need an excuse or justification, and there's nothing, not a single fucking thing you can do to stop me. Now how does that feel, bitch?
Charles Russell
You can live without a lot of your face.
Xavier Sanchez
I'm at a public library, so it doesn't really matter.
Adam Butler
And we won't bother with it either. Continue using it, nothing will go wrong.
Mason Bell
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
Easton Mitchell
maybe they should try harder to secure their software?
i bought sonic forces because i couldn't pirate it. if every game used denuvo or something similar i'd be forced to buy them. the blame is on the software developers.
Jonathan Turner
I thought about that, but it also lists time to die at 17 minutes somehow.
Samuel Smith
>thinking private trackers are old good because there is less chance of being caught oh boy
Nathan Kelly
If it's good, I often WILL buy it though and if it's bad, it doesn't deserve money anyways
Daniel Anderson
I'm gonna pirate shit all I want. What are you gonna do about it faggot?
Luke Scott
Might just be a newbie at pirating. Doesn't help that asking for help on Sup Forums just gets you >current year >doesn't have 35 private trackers and a handmade client and assorted shitposting.
Jaxson Ross
You should pirate every game expect Nintendo games, they deserve every purchase.
Zachary Stewart
probably also blew THEIR minds
NOT!
Daniel Johnson
I could tolerate piratefags if they at least agree that it's illegal. drug users may be degenerate but at least they agree that drugs should be illegal
Julian Ward
it was actually installing a bitcoin miner on your pc at one point in the past, look it up
Dylan Allen
how about i dont care
Tyler Roberts
The technology to stop piracy is right around the corner. You can thank bitcoin for that too.
Juan Perry
Cringe
Xavier Cooper
It can knock you out.
Angel Carter
What if you can’t buy new copies of the game anymore? Would you rather I pay some scumbag on ebay?
Tyler Harris
Is stick of truth worth buying, Sup Forums? Or should I just pirate it? I'm trying to clean out my wishlist. Fractured Butthole's got Denuvo on top of requiring you to sign into UPlay so that one's not worth my time.
Aiden Parker
okay I guess I'll try it
Wyatt Rivera
I'm not entitled to them, I take them because I'm a pirate
Nathaniel Gutierrez
>and every time you pirate games and software, you are stealing all of their intellectual labor. Lost sale argument never works. If I can't pirate a specific game then I likely won't buy it. Unless it's multiplayer. I ended up getting D2 on sale for $30
Lucas Johnson
Just pirate it.
Owen Russell
I bought every Sims 3 expansion and stuff pack, on origins, on release. I still pirate it though, because the repack is smaller quicker to download when I get the pang to play it again.
Adam Adams
>think air is free Think again asshole if your lungs collapse youre going to have to pay for that shit fag
Ian Gomez
The product was shit so I'm not obligated to pay for it. Also if they wanted to reap the benefits of their *intellectual* labor they should have went into an actual intellectual branch.
James Jones
it blows their mind, too
Logan Clark
End net neutrality
Ryder Ross
>2mb/s >public trackers pleb
also IGG > gazelle
Evan Thomas
I have no moral justification while pirating, I just do it. It also helps that my country gives absolutely zero shits about it plus no data caps.
Xavier Wright
Out of curiosity, how do the rest of you guys justify pirating things to yourselves?
I'm not asking in any kind of "j'accuse" sense. I enjoy pirating shit and would like to continue doing so. But I can't shake this nagging feeling that I have no real excuse to do what I'm doing.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude. I think there are certain cases where piracy is justifiable (e.g. dead authors) and even cases where buying something legally is actually an IMMORAL choice (e.g. textbooks). But I don't really have a rationale for anything else. Do you guys?
Again, I'm not being a moralfag here. It's just that a good rational argument from one of you guys would probably make me feel a lot better about myself.
Gavin Anderson
That's what these capitalist cucks want.
Cameron Cox
Alas we cant all live in mudshit filled Somalia tier shitholes where laws are non existent
Kevin Hernandez
Imagine this happening to you but you also get ran under the rails and eviscerated.
Nathan Adams
I love the feeling of grabbing just released cracked copy of a gams, mounting the .iso and installing it, way comfier than buying physical copy tqbh
Luis Lee
have you tried just not caring about other human beings
Country is fairly civilized, thank you very much. We got fiber and top tier public transport, along with a nice populace that has a fervent hatred for immigrants.
Gavin Ross
I don't. I just do it when I don't feel like spending money. I suppose the closest to justification I have is I mostly pirate older games I had on other systems but it's still fucking stealing.
Jace Martin
I justify it by me being just one fucking person that can't do much of an impact on anything. This is also why I don't vote though.
Joshua Mitchell
Cool, I'll go buy some used copies of games.
Jonathan Bailey
>top tier public transport
Only people who care about this are poor fags who can't afford cars.
Lucas Ward
If devs want the freedom to have shitty practices because of muh free market, then I'll exercise my free market right of not paying them.
Anthony Butler
What does mounting an ISO mean anyway? I do it all the fucking time but I have no idea what the hell that implicates. Am I rooting the ISO into my HDD or something?
Samuel Cooper

Jose Carter
Denuvo is dead and so are you user
Easton Jackson
I don't care
Jayden Reed
For me it's : Can't buy it anymore : Game has a bad compatibility track record : Company is a dick : Game never goes on sale
Jonathan Jones
I like free stuff. If I can get the same product for free vs. paying for it why wouldn't I pirate? I could go on about how AAA games with DLC are a rip off to the consumer, but really it's because it's free.
Christian Miller
Browsing through insane amount of AAA games on tpb gives me massive hardon >hmmm what do I want to play today?
Its like porn
Ian Barnes
My justification is that vidya prices don't match the local wages thus making prohibitively expensive. Now you might use the durrrr if you're too poor to afford it you shouldn't be playing it argument, but I disregard it since movies, music, shit like NETFLIX and whatnot all scale to match the local purchasing power. Vidya doesn't for whatever reason. I guess publishers prefer getting no sales rather than fiddling with regional prices and whatnot
John Brooks

Nathan Foster
You're running it through a fake drive to make it seem like you've inserted a cd into your computer.
Ethan White
>2017 >still having these debates.
putting aside the fact a generation of newfags must pop up every couple of months to still feed this bait, i pirate because i don't care and developers are still going to be making good/shitty games and make profit regardless.
Why does it matter? Besides, developers write games because they enjoy doing it anyways and don't care about profit.
Anything else isn't worth money.
Jaxon Brown
My reasoning was that I was poorfig growing up and that I'll pay for things when I can afford them.
I can afford things now and do pay for games, books and music that I want to physically own but I'd be poor as fuck if i bought everything I showed any interest in. So pirating just makes hard times a little easier.
Caleb Young
Burgers love their 60 dollar + tax price point so that'll never happen.
Cameron Jones
You are putting virtual cd into virtual cdrom
Juan Allen
Does Sup Forums care where you get your music? Does Sup Forums care where you watch shit? Does Sup Forums care where you watch anime? I don't understand why Sup Forums is the only board that has these kind of pointless debates about piracy
Jose Jones
Thats pretty weird shit and blows my mind tbqh.
Easton Myers
Just because they think it's worth something doesn't mean everyone else will think the same, if you were to buy every form of media that you consume you would lose a lot of money, you have to filter what you personally think is worth it not what other people say.
David Nelson

To celebrate your concession, here's a cute catboy.
Nolan Bailey
It did amazed me back in the day too tqbh
>you can copy cds on to computrr and play them as if you had then? Wow
Nicholas Ortiz
Yeah virtual hardware is the coolest shit in the world to me for some reason too
Logan Adams
Its mostly upset console fags because they can't pirate games unless they go and outright shoplift them. Which I used to do by the way. Popping those cases open at wal-mart only takes a flathead screwdriver.
Cameron Thompson
I have a friend who's a millionaire and he still pirates everything, yet he eats $100 steaks that are about as equal in quality as supermarket meat. His justification for pirating is "Why should I give them money? I need that for myself and they have plenty". He literally doesn't have a Netflix subscription nor a Spotify one and doesn't buy games either. He even pirates books.
I think people who grow up in middle-class families and above just tend to be more greedier because they don't know the value of being a responsible consumer. Where as someone who grew up in poverty, who has worked a job, might be more empathic towards the people who have put work into a product by buying it and pirating if it didn't went into a good direction.
