why is /v/ the only board on 4chan against piracy?

Because fanboyism is the single most damaging thing in the industry today.

Devs and Pubs are the ones pulling the bullshit but it's their legions of fanboys ready to chase any criticisms off of every online forum in existence because how DARE they insult my company of choice, and by extension me?

I think it's because games are the industry that's effected most by direct sales.

In the gaming industry most profit comes from the sales of actual video game copies, but other industries have so much more to rely on.

The anime industry for example is soley focused on Japanese money, anything outside Japan is typically a secondary audience.
This is why Japanese BD box sets can cost upwards of $1000 and have otaku still buy them.
Also the anime industry branches out into other stuff like the idol industry, toys, video games and plamo.
Over the years the anime industry has cultivated an culture in Japan that allows for even trivial things like keychains become something that can take advantage of and sell.

Pretty much this. The movie industry still gets money from cable stations for showing films even if people pirate the DVDs. The music industry still gets money from radio royalties and live concert performances even if people pirate the music. There is no good way for video games to make money if people aren't buying the games.

I don't give a shit if you pirate, because everyone has a different reason for it. However, don't you fucking dare think you're entitled to speak about "how shit games are today" if you do, because it's an industry entirely motivated by money. If you're not at least supporting the games you enjoy, you can right fuck off with your opinions on how you think things should improve.

>>379847674
Ok I guess that's valid

The thing is I can still do it while acknowledging that it's wrong. I think that's what kids these days are really lacking. They don't want to ever feel bad or be ashamed of their actions, so anything they do has to be justified as completely right. For example, someone who is fat should at least be ashamed of themselves even if they know they aren't going to do anything about it. Instead, they try to wrongly convince others that fat is beautiful and that somehow all the negative things related to excess weight don't exist.

I think that's because you might not be taking the time to immerse yourself because said game has lower value to you and I'm not strictly talking about money.

Typically pirates have access to a lot of stuff, so they act like a kid in a candy store and grab a bit of everything in sight instead of sitting down to focus on one thing.
When purchasing or just pirating but restraining yourself to keeping a smaller library you tend to want to actually finish the games you have.

>>379848598

Ok, but you're completely retarded if you think post-purchase rationalization isn't common amongst game fans. No Man's Sky is the perfect example of a game people who bought it went to defend on the internet and try to damage control the fact that they fell for the hype. Plenty of people who exposed it were pirates, and the bitching/whining against NMS was completely warranted.

This is a fallacy. You have no intention of buying it but you have all the intention of consuming it? You are a lost sale, period. If I have no intention of buying something and no intention of consuming it either, I just don't give a fuck about it, only then am I not a lost sale.

The thing with pirates is that they act like entitled brats though.
They expect everything to be perfectly catered to them, and when something doesn't align to their taste they move on.
That isn't to say buyfags don't do the same, but pirates are more inclined to it.
The thing with pirates is that the freedom to choose so much leaves them without focus.
As said before "like a kid in a candy store".

There's a load of games I just pirated on a whim that I never would've dreamed of buying because there is just no reliable way of knowing whether or not you'll like a game now. Demos are mostly dead, reviewers lie out the ass and publishers force them to withhold information.

I literally would never have bought Darkest Dungeon, Far Cry 4, Besiege or Borderlands 2. But I've pirated them and couldn't even get halfway through them.

I saved myself, what, like $150 to find out I don't even like these games enough to give a shit to finish them? Yeah fuck you.

Your example is a game with the biggest damage control campaign in recent history. /v/ literally has pages worth of copypasta thanks to NMS fanboys, and your excuse is "hurr durr wikipedia". Fuck off retard.
>Nigger, websites were FILLED with people asking for refunds and saying how awful the game was.
They were also FILLED with faggots who bought the game trying to defend it and argue "sean murray didn't lie" "gamers can never be happy" etc etc. Also the game was piratable on day 1 so the idea that it was mostly buyfags railing against NMS is nonsense.

If you pirate games, just do it. Don't call me a sheeple or a cuck for spending money on games on top of that or declare that it's "justice" for shitty publisher practices.

Anyone who responds to consumers whos standards aren't met by your game by calling them "entitled brats" has no room to complain about piracy.

I do pirate everything and I have a damn good time doing so, but buyfag mentality eludes me.
No one besides indies get residuals, and that's only because there's no middleman, so buying games doesn't support the devs at all.

I'm not going to compromise because companies want to release subpar products.

People should not be forced to buy games based on any opinion but their own. If someone puts importance into no DRM or 60 fps, that's their jam.

Regardless, I love how in a few years time we went from "vote with your wallet" to "don't you see you're going to kill the companies". Well turns out that's the purpose of voting with your wallet; you hurt the company till it's forced to change.

But I guess "vote with your wallet" was only a smug way to say shut up to others from people that never expected it to have any real influence.

>>379853446
>If I think something will be shit and it doesn't have a demo I don't buy it.
This is literally no different from what pirates do. Your butthurt over people who play it anyway with zero compensation to creators is a different matter entirely. And on a board where watching videos and not playing the game isn't sufficient enough to make a valid judgement that the game is shit, you don't get to tell anyone that it's suffiecent enough to base our purchasing decisions on.

Because unlike anime, books, obscure music cds, porn, fan-created content, ... games are easy to find and buy legally.
Plus, some studio or series did die because of poor sales.
Also, fanboyism.
People that pirate games are most likely people that doesn't have enough money or people that doesn't like video games enough to do some sacrifices to acquire them (or they may are childrens).
There's nothing wrong with pirating a AAA game that is overpriced, there's nothing wrong with pirating if you really need to save money, there's nothing wrong with pirating when the game is hard to find (especially retro or obscure doujin only sold in japan).
Pirating every game you play when you love vidya in general is wrong, I think.

If there's no way for me to buy a game that I wanna play, I'll pirate it. If I can buy it, I will.

I honestly think their are paid shills in all corners of 4chan nowadays, everything from politics, to products. /ck/ is full of fast food shills usually mcDs and wendy's, /tv/ always has some big budget garbage being pushed this week has been non-stop wonder woman shilling, and i honestly believe the denuvo defense force on /v/ is more than just paid shills, i think there are a fair amount of devs and others in the industry who post/lurk /v/ and genuinely are buttmad at the idea of piracy. And lets not forget the blacked/cuck spam that you can never escape no matter how niche the board is. Very few OPs are organic to the community.

My only excuse is that I'm a poor college fag. Though, by the end of this year....I don't know what my excuse will be when I'm working....
