2/10, low effort

As Jewish and awful as devs are these days, I don't give a fuck what people do and don't pirate UNLESS it's a good game at a fair price without price tricks or toys-to-life (e.g. Sonic Mania).

Sega are a bunch of Jews with their fucking DRM

it is and I keep pirating/emulating. stay mad

>>389135881
Does it matter? I'm gonna keep doing it anyway.

I don't play on PC, for many reasons, so I thankfully don't have to deal with that.

>Emulate mgs1
>Loved it and buy every game in the series including mgs1 because I liked it so much
Emulation causes more good than bad, big deal I emulated a game that costs $10 on the Playstation store. I gave them way more money because I stole it initially.

You got any sources that say piracy affects sales which will inevitably become a topic in a discussion such as this?

Emulation isn't piracy
The Xbone and WiiU can emulate previous gen consoles
Obtaining a game illegally is piracy

>>389136510
This. If I didn't had spent my childhood emulating SNES and GBC games, I would have no interest in gaming today.

Emulation is also the only protection many games have from being forgotten and lost forever, I find it amazing that there is still fan translations for older games still releasing from time to time. I doubt series like Earthbound would be as popular they are today withour it, and I would probably never have the opportunity to play games I love like Seiken Densetsu 3 and Bahamut Lagoon.

>>389136659
I'll take that as a no.

Emulating isn't piracy, unless you obtain the software illegaly. Consoles need emulation for virtual console, for example.

Shut up dumb corporate dicksucker.

Okay you shitty anti-pirates. Tell me. 15 years ago i bought a game on some console. I want to play it, but console is no more. Why can't i emulate it right now? I've paid for it!

I don't think cemu is even playable for most games yet. If anything is hurting 3DS sales it's freeshop and cias, but the handheld's been out for fucking years now.

cemu is pretty much just a botw-emulator.

>implying piracy is bad thing

Give me ONE (1) reason why piracy is bad.
Go on, I can wait.

Honestly, unless you live somewhere with a super strict IP who tells on you in a heartbeat or you can get caught, pirate away. I don't care, I'm a consumer too.

Just admit you're being a little thieving bitch with no job and we'll be square. God I hate neckbeards who try to act like game companies are REQUIRED to give them free entertainment and not that actual money and work went into these things. If you want goods or services, you have to pay for them. Everyone seems to be okay with this system except neckbeards. Just look at the fucking reaction Samus Returns is getting, faggots are literally looking for any little reason they can to pirate it because they never wanted to pay in the first place.

>lol I'm not stealing I'm just making a copy ;)
>Despite multiple, countless times with factual proof piracy has caused companies to bleed money, cancel multiplats, or have to shit out DLC to break even

>>389141451
>Just admit you're being a little thieving bitch with no job and we'll be square.
But that's where you're wrong.
I'm a thieving bitch who has a job, but also the common sense to not waste money on something that can be obtained for free with no repercussions.
No, I don't care if the companies bleed money or die or whatever. I get to play video games for free, and if video games die because of it - so be it. Plenty of other media out there to kill.

>>389139716
that's your fault for buying a game for a broken console dumbass

>>389139638
no get a job!

>>389141619
Basically why pay for something you can get for free, Why do people have a problem w/ this? He clearly doesn't give a fuck if a Corporation loses profit if he is saving his own cash, It's called taking advantage something you moralfags should learn to accept. Not saying people who pay for goods are being keked I pay for games too but if someone wants to steal shit that isn't even yours who gives a fuck.

>>389144075
You paid for a game that's free that also insures only the publisher sees money. The author hasn't seen a cent from Nicalis taking the game and cockwashing it.

I don't remember the exact details, but Nicalis screwed Pixel over with the publishing of the game, and now all the money from every version of CS that you can buy (+, 3DS, Wiiware, Switch) goes to Nicalis, nothing for Pixel.

If you wanted to suport him, you should have bought Kero Blaster.

>>389135881
Emulators are perfectly legal so long as they don't steal code. This was established in Sony vs Connectix.

Distributing ROMs is 100% illegal though.

>>389147987
You pirate multiplayer as well, just join that discord.

The moral reasoning against piracy is that you're not paying the creator for their work, which in the case of video games would be the dev team/company.

Emulating games that are no longer available for sale, either online or in retail stores, meaning that the only way to play them is buying them second-hand, is fine because the original devs/creators would no longer be receiving money from your purchase.

So really it depends on the age of the game; if it's no longer for sale in a way that would benefit the devs, it's okay to emulate/pirate.

>under US law being a pirate is less criminal than being a commie

Incorrect. It's totally legal to be a commie under US law, just like it's legal to be a nazi or a monarchist.

>>389138332
hello jew

>>389135881
Emulation isn't piracy. However, you have to pirate the games to play them.
>Implying you own the game you're ripping
>Implying making a copy of it isn't exactly the argument used to separate piracy from literal theft
