The devs benefit from the publicity.

Literally can't buy it legally

You get it for free? retard

It's true.

The cart sometimes costs five hundred dollars, and the board to play it, even more.

I don't want to support lootbox gaming.

It's free and without repercussions, hell most of the time it also the best version of the game.

What is the story behind Sterdust? Is Jim going into professional wrestling?

devs releaseda garbage port that doesn't deserve my money to fund another

Good reasons

>letting a developer’s children starve because you need money for McDonald’s
Get a job you lazy cunts

underrated

saves you money

2easy

they're not gonna starve, plenty of retards will still pay full price or preorder those games.

>Can't use I just don't care
I just don't care though

Fat stardust?

I hate the industry and want it to fail.

oh user

>letting a developer’s children starve because you need money for McDonald’s
>Implying i care about someone else's kids

>Being poor

10/10. Also the "THINK OF THE DEVS AND THEIR POOR CHILDREN!" only really works for self-published indie games, every other person working to make a game are just wagecucks that get paid at the end of the month either way.

Because go fuck yourself, loser

Ultimately the same thing is being done though, right? Who cares what the reason is, won't those developers' children "starve" anyway?

I unironically have more respect for people whose response to "Why do you pirate?" is "lol fuck off nigger" than the people who are too dishonest with themselves on an anonymous image board to admit they just don't want to pay and try to hide behind some moral highground instead.

>literally “I don’t care”
You lost, kiddo

Because the chances if getting caught pirating are almost exactly zero, and when you are caught, you end up with a slap on the wrist.

If you genuinely pay for something you can easily get for free with bi repercussions you are a complete idiot.

If you want to support a specific developer or series, buy their game. If you aren't specifically enthusiastic for that particular game or dev, don't give them money for something that is otherwise free. You may as well be throwing it in the garbage.

But isn't the person saying "lol fuck off nigger" literally pirating to avoid paying?

Because I care.

I get the game for free you fucking idiot.

because i want free games and i dont care if shitty devs make money or not, even indie devs

Hold on fag.
The devs are already paid in full when they developped the game.
The money goes to the publishing team, the console maker and the retailer.

Because I care too much. If I reward bad behavior with money then I'm part of the problem.

Pirate EA/low effort games. Its your duty.

yeah but they're not pretending its anything other than stealing

this is the most reddit answer

Thank God for me treasure

because it's free, user

It's objectively the smarter decision. You have a clear choice between cost and no cost. Only a corporate bootlicking cuck would choose to punish himself by wasting 60$.

Why do you play games if you hate them. Why are you even here?
Get another hobby, man.

Saves you money from potentially bad games and can act as a demo to see if you're willing to pay for it Even though no one does it still

Most devs don't deserve money for the shit they make. And those that do, like Nintendo, take down videos of their games on youtube, which is unacceptable, so they also don't deserve money.

Because most games dont have demo's and I dont want to drop 20 dollars on a game that I might or might not like.

Because I legally own the game on another platform and don't believe I should have to pay for it again.

I challenge everyone here who doesn't pirate to try it out for a couple months. With the money you would have spent, invest in anything, literally anything you want. Buy stocks, crypto, whatever.

Not only will you not have spent an egregious amount of money on colored lights, but you'll be well on your way to creating a decent portfolio.

Might be an odd suggestion, but I figured it was a few cuts above whatever faggot shit you moral-cunts are on about

The pirated version doesn't have DRM or simply runs better.

I've had a few situations where I bought a game and downloaded the pirated version.

Thinking of a reason I guess to see how well it'll run before you buy it. Some games have amazing optimization like DMC4 that can run on a hot plate and others have absolutely wretched optimization and run like shit even on a powerful rig. Myself I honestly just pirate games because I don't make much money. I don't try to justify it, I just do it because it's easy and I've never really heard of anyone getting in trouble for it. There have been some games I did buy because I liked them a lot but I don't always do that.

Paying full price for a game? Who the fuck does that? Wait for a fucking sale buy second hand anything other than paying full price for a game. Get to see if its shit as well

I pirate indie games so triple A titles has more chance in the market and companies like EA and Bethesda can make more quality games for us(with money) to enjoy rather than this silly 2d looking crap you manchilds play

Exclusive rights to shows need to die in a fire.
There is not nearly as much video game piracy is there is tv piracy and where video game piracy is concerned protection can be pretty good requiring unique serial keys for multiplayer and so on.

>game out of print since 12 years ago
>developer studio acquired and now does AAA bitch work
>IP shelved, no hope of further development
>Original assets presumed lost, no hope of digital re-release
>Gamespy dead, no hope of fixed multiplayer for current owners

pain

>devs dead
>buying the game forces you to use Uplay/Origin or some bullshit that works half the time (pirated game doesn't)
>game costs 80$+ and there's no demo so you want to make sure it's good before buying

Nintendo doesn't take down youtube videos of their games though

Really?

I preordered evolve later it evolved in stage two.

I don’t want to pay for porn games.

Yeah but if it is shit I've already paid for it, no matter how small the amount you are still spending money on a shit game you wont ever play again.

this

i pirate even when i'm working. eat a dick you fucking nerd.

Not him, but I enjoy the games themselves while hating the industry in which they exists whit a burning passion

By that logic, you're responsible all those Chinese workers starving when you are not buying a new iPhone every fucking year

Old Licenced game will never get rereleased.

Oh shit.

Demoing. If I don't like the game, I'll stop playing and won't buy it. If I like it, I'll buy it.

This only applies for games that don't come with demos, and if your game doesn't, fuck you, I'm gonna pirate it before I buy it.
