It's not about the money you have, Anon. It's about what you spend it on.

>>378005185
>Why is /v/ so anti-pirate?

I'm not.

I'm in favor of game developers trying to actually earn money based off of their product and I believe that if you take part in the product you SHOULD pay for it.

But I also hate paying for things so I usually don't hesitate to pirate. Especially if the game is old or Japanese.

I also accept that what I'm doing is essentially stealing, which is where I think a lot of the piracy arguments come from. Pirates for some reason want to feel like they're cool rebels just copying shit and giving "the man" the finger when they're just being huge niggers about $35.

Then there was trolling about this shit, because it's fucking /v/.

Then with the unprecedented influx of normalfags in the past couple of years you have people who think that being anti-pirate is anything but completely laughable.

>pay for a good vpn
>can even pirate confirmed honeypots
Feels nice.

Also, remember to always seed your torrents, help your fellow piratebros.

Only brown nosers like negogaff, reddit, and from what i saw a minority of the /v/ nintendo fans scream bloody death about piracy.

In fact, I ask you this anons.
What games are even fucking worth paying for and what games are not even worth pirating? Most of the shit we had as of late has been utter GARBAGE and not worth the space on my harddrive.
Fuck video shit video games and fuck stupid cunt ass devs for making them. Also fuck gabe and steam for selling SHIT to retards who cant even play off steam.

Because pirate cucks are obnoxious. See:

There are older games I would gladly pay for but modern games have to realize that dumping million assets with only handful of intractable ones and while being walking simulator doesnt help.
They keep throwing VFX guys form the movie industry so what do they do,they do the same job they did for the movies create cinematic and trailers with a polycout through the roof.

I'm not anti-pirating.
I just think it's retarded for people to expect "real" games to be made when the demographic doesn't want to pay for them.

>>378019260
>real games
>getting made
kek
They don't get made because all the good guys like the gower brothers (founders of runescape) got muscled out of the industry by shareholders and now all that's left is retarded nepotistic executives and jewish shareholders.

shills and shitposters

People grew up and got jobs.
I too was a piratefag back in 2009 but then I got a job. Then I realised that only 3rd worlders, kids and other poorfags pirate.

I don't pirate games generally but I'm not exactly against it. I really do like the idea of pirating as a demo before buying, when people are actually legit about that.

If I'd pirated/demo'd Dark Souls 2 I'd never have bought the real game. If I'd pirated/demo'd Witcher3 I'd have realised it wasn't for me.

But I've been part of fanbases like the Alice series that whether we get another game really does turn on sales. I'd be a little bit upset at the idea that we wouldn't get an Alice 3 because people who genuinely liked the games didn't buy them.

Imagine being a faggot who enjoys having companies fuck them in the ass

If you are anti piracy, I can probably track your ideology, way of life and political affiliation in the next 10 seconds at the most.

Especially today, piracy is the last bastion of making sure you pay for a finished product that suits your taste and needs.

I always pirate and if it's worth it and I like it, I always buy it. You don't want piracy? Eliminate your leftist agenda from the games, fuck off with you always connected, microtransactions, day one and all the suite of crap from this spectrum and of course - GIVE THE MARKET A DEMO OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT FAGGOTS! And then I won't pirate anymore.

Piracy is not theft, it's protection against theft.

piracy is a sin

By that logic, farming and fishing are piracy.

>>378005185
It isn't, rational people pirate and they also have better things to do than constantly 'debate' this topic.

>>378021183
Exactly, now don't you see how stupid anti-piracy arguments are?

Hilariously they don't actually prevent you from pirating directly from nintendo though

Can someone give me evidence of piracy doing measurable harm on the music, movie, and/or video game industries?

Excuse my retardness. How exactly pages like Emuparadise and shit can still be up? I can imagine why emulators might not be illegal but ROMs should be right?
>inb4 I dump all my games for convenience

Why would I defend a bunch of third world kiddies living from their parents money stealing intellectual property from people that do actual work just because they're too autistic to earn their own money?

Fuck them.

>>378005701
Yo how's the PC port of that new Musou?
Berserk was fine, wasn't it? Is this good too?

>>378022147
Only game i can think of was world of goo where they had to go mobile to make a profit due to rampant piracy. Though them selling well without piracy will never be proven

>>378022147
No because if anything it provides free advertising,it spreads like a plague if something is good enough to be pirated.

>>378005185
Because I understand how economies work.

>>378022147
Not piracy directly but the piracy bogeyman has birthed DRM and always online, which has ruined many games.
It's the worse thing to come from piracy, but it's not really the pirates fault

>>378022147
The only thing that I can say for sure (source my ass) is that piracy is tightly related to convenience. Spotify and steam are both good examples of such convenience
People that weren't going to buy a game anyways should really not be considered since they were poorfags. If they have the economic power to buy it and it's convenient for them to do it they will

There is also the whole "I don't think it deserved my money" but that another discussion

>>378022310
If you don't have at least a 480 don't buy it

>>378022091
Nope

I don't pirate because I hardly even like playing video games anymore. If a game is good enough to hold my attention it's worth giving the devs some cash unless they're total cocks, in which case they can keep their precious game.

I only pirate old games that are not available for purchase on PC anymore/ever.

>>378021183
No because Jesus literally manifested bread and fish out of thin air. Farming requires resources to go in to get your output.
