Piracy cuts into sales. DLC, Microtransactions, season passes, lootboxes and paid mods bring in more cash. It doesn't take a genius to put two and two together.
Autism is defined by people being unaware of the consequences of their actions. Which applies perfectly to pirates, who fail to understand just how much the industry needs sales to keep their precious non-pixelshit video games afloat.
The video game industry works differently from television and music. Games do not have live performances or broadcast royalties. They do not have theatrical releases nor do they make money from televised syndication. And they do not have commercial breaks for advertisers that give them money, unless you count Let's Plays in which case devs don't get the ad money in 99.99999% of cases. Because they're PROMOTIONAL AVENUES.
There's nothing promotional about DLC and microtransactions, all that shit actually fucking affects the product itself unlike what you want to convince yourselves are the normie media equivalents.
If nobody had any problem with piracy, video games, movies, books, comics, etc etc wouldn't fucking exist because there would be no point in their creators making them. I don't give a rats ass if you pirate shit, but don't try to justify it.
I guess I should feel terrible for supporting the industry that provides entertainment I enjoy. Thanks for enlightening me /v/.

who gives a fuck?
if you can get something for free there's no point in paying for it, and if there was no way to get games for free i would just stop playing vidya altogether
There's 2 perspectives from pirates.
>UHHH TECHNICALLY IT ISN'T THEFT, <argues incoherently in a desperate attempt to safe face>
and
>Yeah its theft, so what? Go fuck yourself
The second option is the only correct one.
>Autism is defined by people being unaware of the consequences of their actions. Which applies perfectly to pirates, who fail to understand just how much the industry needs sales to keep their precious non-pixelshit video games afloat.
it kind of fascinates me how on 4chan people always have to contextualize the actions of others on here as being indicative of autism, as if "normal" people aren't pirates or something
Fucking Lisa thread because I said so.
There was a time when I was obsessed with this game. I'd just level up characters at the wrestling place all day. I swear this song would play in my head constantly whenever I was walking around out in the real world.

I miss when these threads would get a solid discussion going.
He got old and had a daughter
Did you ever play videogames with your dad, /v/?
He played SM64. Aside from that not really.
I gave him my old DS and SM64DS a few years back. Used his bathroom one time and found three files at 150 stars with a hand-written walk-through of every star spanning several sheets of paper.

Right: is what women should like in video games
>muh realism
In fact what you call realism is nothing but a mockery of a middle class white trash that spent her youth on alcohol and pills. It's not realistic, it's degenerate. You do go to a art gallery to see pics of slums. You don't play video games for that garbage (ME:A tier btw)

Both in videogames and in real life. Left is just ugly, plain ugly. Most americans ARE ugly.

Deadly premonition. The creator didn't want those awful RE4 wannabe gameplay to be included. He was too ahead of his time.

>playing team games
Then leave the session if it bothers you that much. Judging by your reaction image, I bet you secretly love getting bullied and mistreated, fucking faggot. Same goes to those who are "shy" about turning on their microphone in a multiplayer game.
>You bully teammates when you're doing bad
Designate a target and we will destroy it.

I never played /v/'s favorite game, MGS3. My question is should I play the original MGS3 or Subsistence? I've heard Subsistence only got released because people were bitching non-stop about the fixed camera so it's not the original vision of the game as far as I understand. Are both versions worth playing?
>>389714059
> /v/'s favourite game
>not mgs2
MGS3 is good is a reddit meme lmao
>>389714059
The overhead view I grew to love, however all the enemy's in the game have pretty good sight compared to the previous games and you don't have the radar either.
So you had to adapt some meticulous pace of looking around when you were in cover and only moving when you knew the cost was clear. Not for everyone.
Subsistence has both camera modes anyways, so you can just decide which version you like better.
>>389714059
What you heard about the camera is wrong. It is changed but not because people bitched about it. Subsistence is just a re-release with ab unch of stuff added. Play it. You should probably play Twin Snakes and MGS2 first though.
