Do you feel like you're obligated to pay for games?

I dont pay money to play tic tac toe

>>380526653
apparently most aren't? i play mostly roms nowdays (a lot of old games i never got to play when they came out) so that's where i stand

nah bruv

I pay by wasting my free time on them

>>380526653
I happily steal movies, TV shows etc but arbitrarily draw the line at video games for no reason at all.

No. I'm not obligated to buy or pirate anything.

I'm obligated to continue breathing and stuffing food and water into my gob. No company has an inherent right to my money. Whether they get it is entirely at my discretion. Whether they can stop me from getting their products for free is entirely up to their competence. Either way the decision to relinquish my income is up to me.

Sure, if its a good game and has lots of repeatability

same, I buy books too, both cost me a lot

I do pirate games of companies I hate though, if I can help it (single player)

Only the ones made by based nipponians who btfo sjws and #maga

Do you feel like you're obligated to sell your game?

I pirate almost all my media. But I do buy a bunch of games though (PS4, Steam etc.).
And sometimes I buy books, but since understanding that you can find cool shit in used stores for $0.10 I rarely go on $100 sprees anymore.

>>380530831
In a capitalistic Society yes.

>>380526653
>obligated
I ain't obligated to do jack shit, the only reason I pay for games at all is because I'm too lazy to go pirate it

No I don't like pirating. Only thing I do pirate is anime and that's because their prices are ridiculous.

>>380530494
I only pay for books by living authors that are actually going to write something else good before one of us dies. The rest goes against my principles.

It warms my heart to see pirates pushed to the dark corners of the internet. Publishers realized that the piracy excuse of charging $59.99 for a game wasn't working, $25-$39.99 is becoming the new standard for Japanese releases, and as a result, more people are pre-ordering and buying games.

>>380526653
Eh, not really, but I do go out of my way to buy games I really like, so as to support the devs, if only a tiny, tiny bit.

Now that I have a job, I'm buying games a whole lot more for all the console where I can't just pirate everything.

>>380526653
No, but I want to own (or as close as possible in today's market) things I enjoy and to support devs who make games I enjoy. Voting with my wallet is really the only thing I can do in the end.

>>380526653
Only if they came out within the past 3-5 years. Otherwise why bother. They aren't making money from it anyway.

I buy all of my games. If a game isn't worth my money it's not worth my time either.

I would stab myself in the eye if it meant avoiding you for 5 minutes.

Yes. Though I have no problems with using piracy to demo. If a game is worth my time to play it's only fair that those responsible be compensated.

If the game's been out for long enough that the only people benefiting from me buying are nerds on ebay and play the used game lottery roulette, then no.

it's probably some jewy place like costco

>>380533714
Looks like it's SamsClub, which is a wholesale store designed with people who will use it for business/retail purposes in mind.

Normal stores do not have jars that large.

Is the story that pirates who find a game they really enjoy actually going out and buying it a fantasy?

I consider piracy close enough to theft and I think it's an immoral thing to do. Paying for games is right, if they turn out to be shit you made a mistake and that sucks but it's the risk you take.

I still pirate though. People need to get over their pretenses. Sometimes you do bad things and sometimes that makes you bad people, but whatever.

To be honest, I would fork over money to play classic Nintendo games on the PC with quick-load save states, enhancements, and all the fun things emulators offer. $1 for NES/GB games, $2 for GBC, $5 for SNES and GBA, $7 for N64, $10 for GameCube, $15 for Wii. No DRM.

I started programming a couple of years ago and understood how hard it must be for some to create games, so yeah, as long as it benefits the original developers and i really like the game i do, here in the third world they look down on you if you do not pirate stuff but i have to admit buying an original games makes you value it more. Still when i'm unsure i pirate it just to play it a bit and decide.

Thing is, it'd be more like if I scanned the milk and made a copy, whether I had the money to buy the milk or not.

Also, the replicated milk tastes better and has more calcium and vitamins and you can drink it without being connected to the fridge.

I dont pay for any forms of entertainment. No games, movies, or music.

I pirate everything I can't pirate, IE Bloodborne. I have no problem paying for games but because most of what I play is out of print I can't justify spending more than the price of a DVD-R to play them.

No, I buy most games I want to play but I don't feel "obligated", that's real tool-like.
