If you're stupid enough to not have a proper anti virus set up, I can see why you would be scared of piracy.

When you have money it's not an issue. It feels better buying a legitimate copy that you own through transaction.

It's the same as why smart parents don't just give their kids free shit. It always feels better to earn something and you appreciate it more.

Don't mind me, i'm just pirating your money.

>How do organizations like Skidrow & Reloaded make it so available and mainstream without suffering any consequences?

They aren't the ones who make it available to the mainstream. They crack this shit solely for the challenge and the people who actually break the law by distributing it are someone else.

>>387898350

Like I said before, if you are morally against piracy. What is stopping you from trying a game before you buy it? Have you ever bought a game you didn't like or felt like a developer ripped you off?

If you think video game developers are suffering AT ALL financially this day and age you are a moron.

>>387898414

....But they host a website that distributes links to all of the games they crack...am I missing something here?

>>387897914
>buying a legitimate copy that you own
wrong, you can't buy pc games anymore, you just buy the right to play a certain game and you don't own anything

>>387898414
>Google <Game> torrent
>Skidrow & Reloaded site first result, links to tons of cracked games
>They aren't the ones who make it available to the mainstream

So is their website just a trophy case that shows the games they cracked to the public? Lol

>>387898439

They're not suffereing directly but it could mean they won't be making a new game after that.

>>387897914
Not unless youre buying a disc game that doesnt need an update right away.

You dont own any digital games or patches, youre paying full price for a rental

>>387898765
kek

>>387898676
>Microtransactions
>Early Access Games
>Kickstarter

Some can argue these are the result of piracy. But some can also argue that even without piracy this would still be occurring.

Why would you let devs cheat you out of your money, even if you plan on buying the game, by not trying it first at the very least?

>>387898516
this is bait

I don't have any sympathy for game developers after what happened with Deus Ex MD after HR

>>387898516

the website isn't real and most of the "official" crack group websites are spreading malware and viruses, you retard.

SKIDROW doesn't have a website, neither does RELOADED.
CPY has a legit one, in japanese.

>>387898994

That's the whole point you fucking retard. Hence why I said some can argue these are a result of years of piracy, sorry you can't put two and two together to realize devs will try to make up for lost revenue due to piracy

>>387898765
No way that fucker survived.
Good.

>>387898516
>>387898647
Idiots like you are why hacking involves social engineering instead of actually breaking any real code or security.

I mean, I'm literally one of them. If you send 5 dollars to [email protected], I will make every single crack available to you guys on day one!

>>387899120

>>387899162
Go on.

>>387899107

Nigga im fucking sure that 3/4 people pirating are from third world countries and they wouldn't have bought the game in the first place.

>>387899120

nice argument that "kill yourselves", anyway hey man that's a cool new game you got there, would you sell it to me once you are done with it? oh right, you got it from steam...

>>387899306
You really think skidrow & reloaded aren't gaining anything or involved in any bigger scheme other than "Just me and my poor russian friends to play a game we like"?

>>387898765
nigger btfo

>>387899261
If I made a website called Bill_Gates_pics.com and started posting pictures of Bill Gates you would also believe the website was made by Bill Gates
That's how retarded and tech illiterate you are so there's no point in explaining anything to you
Go back to facebook or whatever shithole you came from

>>387899398

Most groups don't even accept donations.
Some groups just hate the industry and that's why they crack games for the general public to play.

But they are actually mostly cracking for the challenge and for their poor third-world friends.

>>387899261
They have their own ways of communication where they share knowledge but mostly dickwave by being the first to crack this or that.

Some of the people there are less concerned about having police breathing down their neck (Russians, Chinese) so they upload this shit on public sites afterwards.
These get downloaded, repacked by some groups, infested by some others and spread around the internet as the million cracks available you know about.

I wont ever ever use steam, fuck not owning your games

And no, i wont use it even if everyone does.

>>387898765
what did he do to that guy to make him fall over like that and drop his money?

>>387899398

some have or some dont, but really most of them do it for the prestige
and sometimes money

>>387899476
But why would anyone else make that site? It must be real Bill. I'm going to register

>>387899578

>>387899578

>fall over

he dropped the money instead of handing it to him, so he has time to draw his gun and shoot him

are you 12? Learn how to use a gun and defend yourself.

>>387899476
So you're saying major groups like skidrow & reloaded just sit back and watch a website use their name / reputation to gain while they get nothing from it? Lol.

bill_gates_pics is a false equivalence and you're just getting off by pretending you know something about something that you don't know shit about

>>387899709
Oh, it was a gun? that baseball cap guy is sneaky then. I thought he stabbed him and the guy pulled the gun as he recovered, but I guess he was just pretending to conceded and snuck his gun out behind the woman

>>387899818
It looked like the nigger stabbed something into his neck and it lookedl ike the guy was collapsing, I wasn't able to tell he was being intentional with his movements.

>>387899561
its more of convenience than anything else at this point, some people have more money than you actually know what to do with it

I love OWNING my OWN video GAMES. I reserve the right to sell my bought video games to GAMESTOP!! Steam is a SCAM!

>>387899820
>So you're saying major groups like skidrow & reloaded just sit back and watch a website use their name / reputation to gain while they get nothing from it? Lol.

Do you think the skidrow cracking group has a fucking trademark? lol
even if they had, they couldn't enforce it in the shithole country that the site is being hosted in.

ALL the "official" cracking-group sites except for the japanese CPY site are hosting viruses, malware and rootkits you imbecile

>>387899935
They don't need a trademark to take matters into their own hands, fucking retard

>>387900053

>you don't need law on your side to take down a website

are you 12?
How are they supposed to take down a website not even hosted in their country but in some third-world shithole?

>>387899820
>So you're saying major groups like skidrow & reloaded just sit back and watch a website use their name / reputation to gain while they get nothing from it?
yes? why would they care? do you think they care about the thousands of reuploads without crediting them? don't be dumb
> you're just getting off by pretending you know something about something that you don't know shit about
says the guy who believes skidrowcracks.com and bill_gates_pics.com are made by skidrow and bill gates respectively

>I'm super good at cracking video games but I just do it for the prestige even though I'm poor as fuck I don't want money and I will refuse any donations

Yeah... I'm sure that's exactly how it happens :^)

>>387899806
>how do scene groups get paid? donations?
by working normal computer related jobs or non computer related jobs

>>387900053
>yo police guys these people are uploading my illegal conent under my name, can you do something for me? I'm the most wanted scene group in piracy so I'm kinda important, no arrest me though please

>>387900108
it's called hacking dude. have you ever played a little game called DEUS EX??? didn't think so, back to plebbit fucking new fag

>>387900053

lmao are you fucking retarded? how does taking matters into your own hands involve police ?

>>387900247

>its possible to permanently remove a website from the internet with "hacking"

Doesn't even work that way.

SKIDROW isn't a hacking group, it's a cracking group, you fucking retard. That has basically nothing in common.
Are you literally 12?

>>387900161
who said theyre poor? some of these guys already have money, theyre not basement dwellers or some poor guy using a pentium to crack games like youre picturing

>>387899820
>So you're saying major groups like skidrow & reloaded just sit back and watch a website use their name / reputation to gain while they get nothing from it? Lol.

No, they sit and laugh their asses off whenever the owner of that site mixes in an infested release and they get to watch the fireworks as Sergey from the other floor in the dorms gets his own botnet to play with.

Yep, because I can't tell you how means it doesn't exist. great logic :)

>>387900670
nu-/v/ and shills

Im broke and im gonna be without imternet for a few months. So i pirated an ass load of games, i probably wont even finish half of them but least I'll have content to keep me entertained for the coming months. I dont see the morality here when its a victimless crime, i sure as fuck wouldn't give money to play mass effect adromeda so they don't gain or lose anything from me.

video games players aka GAMERS™ have a false sense of loyalty to the developers aka cuck syndrome.

it explains why the biggest cucks are born out of the video gaming community

>>387900930
None. I tried Prey, played it well into the refund mark on steam had i bought it, didn't like it.
I tried the old fallout games, same deal, didn't like em, i sure as fuck wouldn't spend money on them.

>>387901005
>>387901060
So there is nothing wrong with trying a game before you buy it. That's all I didn't understand why people had a problem with it.

I've bought games that I pirated.
I've also not bought games after I pirated a video game and stopped playing it after 20 mins because I didn't like it.

>>387900784
No that's brazil silly

nope, people get riled up because of the hypocrisy and your own inflated ego that you have to tell the fucking world about it when we dont give a fuck if you pirate or buy it.

>>387901329
Yeah, since you're too dumb to see.
The argument is why did people not do this before steam's refund policy was introduced and also Steam is not the only platform to play video games.

Why couldn't you put that together in your own head instead of me having to spell it out for you?

>>387901149

They have said several times that is not a demo service and will stop letting people refund after too many times.

>>387901473
Yeah, there is absolutely never been arguments on /v/ about pirating video games even though you plan on buying it anyways. You haven't been here very long have you ? :)
