Do you support piracy /v/?

Only if it's Ubisoft.

Only single player games

Only when it has denuvo

>>378412090
Yeah, what about it you fucking loser?

I seeded the cracked version of Cemu for almost 4 hours like a real piratebro.

Only if /v/ likes the game

Only if i am poor

Only if it has loli

Absolutely. Piracy is healthy to the industry and to consumers.

>>378412090
Against exclusivity, yes absolutely.

This is old OP, no one cares about Zelda. Flavour of the month. pls canada rules

>>378412090
How can you support piracy when it is free?
You image is not about piracy but emulation.

Shit thread/10 OP is a failed poster.

#SAD

>>378412090
I will support piracy for as long as companies continue to insist on holding games and intellectual properties hostage as platform exclusives.
No, I won't buy your console to play the games you're hoarding there, I'll just wait until they either get ported or get emulated.
It's an awful practice and I have a great deal of distaste for it. Nintendo is by far the worst culprit too.

>>378413892
>Devs and pubs spend more money on DRM instead of actually on the games
>DRM becomes more and more intrusive
>More focus on keeping thieves out than legit people in.

>Healthy to the industry and consumers.
Yeah. No.

No? How can you support piracy? I support emulation, but that's not piracy. Copying/distributing/downloading pirated games is piracy.

>>378414004
>>378414065
>emulation is not piracy

yeah bullshit. 90% of people who emulate play games they don't own.

>>378414268
Hey, be mad as much as you like faggot but emulation is not piracy.

kek nintendo scumbags must be boiling inside of their shells right now.

The sooner nintendoshit dies the better.

>>378414569
if everyone uses emulation to play games they don't own then its piracy and it's true that everyone does it.

>>378414569
>boiling
what for? you're being pirate scum, nobody cares about you.

>>378414801
>if everyone uses emulation to play games they don't own then its piracy
But that's wrong you retarded turbo nigger.

Piracy is illegal.
Emulation is not.
I can play backups of games I legally own on an emulator and will be in no violation of the law whatsoever.
I can also play a game I got off a ROM site on legit hardware and it will be illegal (not that I give a fuck).

>>378414951
>I can play
>I can also play

>>378412090
How is this legal?

Only when there is no demo

>>378416212
Because emulators aren't stealing or infringing on anything.
The clue is in the name: EMULATING

It is mimicking the hardware/software.
The emulator doesn't come bundled with games, people do that themselves -which is illegal-

It's the same situation that torrent clients are in.
Most people use torrents for downloading programs, music, movies and games for free which is illegal, but the torrent client itself isn't the thing to blame. Same with emulators.

Always try before you buy.

The Legend of Zelda: Flavour of the Month is old news now, there is literally no need for CEMU anymore.

>>378412090
How it feels to be souless consumerist?

>>378416506
That's right. It would only be illegal if they had somehow gotten their hands on the original coding of the WiiU and were using that to make development of this emulator proceed at incredibly fast speeds compared to others. It would be even more illegal if they were getting funding to do so, and then hiding it by keeping the system closed source for vague and historically asinine reasons.

I beat Breath of the Wild on CEMU, is there any reason to get a Switch now?

>>378412090
by playing pirated games?
yes

>>378414051
>(((pubs)))

only for good games

When it's something like Ubisoft trash, I just skip those games, my hard drive space has more dignity than that

What's the problem? When the emu works well I will just buy the actual games from the store and emulate them.

>>378419570
Their money has actually dropped from 43k since they slowed sown.

Reminder that the only valid excuse for privacy is if there is no buyable version available which sees the proceeds go back to the original companies.

So, for the most part, licensed games more than two generations ago. And even then you should always check to see if there is a version you can support.

Emulation is different from piracy OP.

>>378420785
patreon only takes 5% from successfully process transactions.

then theres a small fee for transfering the money to your account which depends on how large the money is but its no bigger than actual bank transfer fees.

and then there are small additional fees depending on if you are outside the us or if you want to transfer to paypal.

all in all more than 90% of the money actually gets to you.

>emulates multiplats that are on PC
Why are people so retarded?

>>378422757
you think thats a lot.
in many industries standard markup is 600%.
aka charge atleast 600% for the product than it actually cost to make.

patreon is considerably more tame than that.
steam for example gets 30% of all sales of everything.

>>378420297
Arms looks casual as fuck dude.

At the end of the day, piracy is simply a result of inadequate product pricing and general industry greed. People don't go and have a coffee and the walk out without paying, because the pricing is right and nobody feels ripped off. People do feel cheated when paying for a 60$ game that's a complete DRM infested mess, dependant on DLC to seem marginaly finished, and mediocre in all other areas.

Good games will never have a piracy problem, and shit games will because they're not worth the price. And this has been proven time and again.

>>378423473
>People don't go and have a coffee and the walk out without paying
Also because people can physically stop you from doing so. Piracy would be nowhere near as prevalent, not that it's actually that high on average, if you actually had to physically go around people to do it.

>>378412090
I wouldn't care if they didn't put fucking DRM in their emulator

>>378412090
Emulation is not piracy retard.
Even trigger happy Nintendo knows this, or they would have shut those fuckers down years ago.

>>378412090
I have a WiiU with a bunch of legit purchased games, but would love a working emulator.
I bought a used Wii and 20 or so games for 100$ and the first thing I did was install homebrew to rip all the games to a usb hard drive and emulate them on my PC.

No, because I like being able to bitch about the market and like when games are being made to my tastes,

People who don't buy games literally have no right to complain about companies not pandering to them.

Only when the devs release an open source emulator. With CEMU you're not sure if they're using the leaked source code from the Wii U, which would be kind of scummy if they did.

>>378422985
>One game is a multiplat
>ShovelKnight
It was in the Wii store and it was faster to just DL it since it was there.
Why are you so retarded to not get that?

No, I absolutely despise all pirates and think they're all third-world, leeching scum.

That said I pirate everything.
