There are 3 types of pirates
1. wants to use the pirated copy like a demo
2. just wants to play games for free
3. same as 2 but has a bunch of BS excuses prepared in case he's called out on it, like "they aren't losing a sale"

I wouldn't have built a gaming pc if I wasn't able to pirate everything. Heck, I wouldn't even be playing videogames if I had to pay for games. This hobby is great, because it's literally for free aside from the initial investment, but it would be shit if I actually had to pay for my consumption level. First of all I wouldn't be able to afford that for very long and secondly I'd rather do something else altogether in that case.

I dont really care if it's moral, I just love money.

I can get any digital media I want for free, at any time, because of chumps like you. You continue to buy this stuff, you supply the various industries with billions of dollars, along with everyone else.

The amount of people that do what I do is so tiny that I can take anything I want and no one even bothers me about it. For every person who hunts down a chinese subtitled rip on release day, there will be 500 thousand who pay 20 bucks for it.

So thank you. You allow me to live the way I do.

>>389456470
PCs will usually have a much higher initial cost in comparison to consoles, but the platform's versatility, cheaper games, and longevity balance this out

Why wouldn't you pirate? You can get almost every single piece of software you can think of completely free, with no consequences, as much and often as you like. Sometimes it's even easier to pirate than buy. What kind of moron would actually pay for these things?

>>389456674
Still doesnt change the fact that a good setup is expensive

>>389453201
The large majority of pcfags dont actually pirate, it simply is a smaller market for AAA games.
At least in the past you couldn't buy many pc games if you didnt live in america or europe, but steam changed that since ~2012
Also the industry is currently pretty bad currently, although it can be fixed by buying and playing older games and the one or 2 decent ones released every year.

You don't pirate if you have a job. NEETcucks are ruining vidya.

>>389456780
>You don't pirate if you have a job. NEETcucks are ruining vidya.
Why would somebody with a job not pirate games?

>>389455697
Fuck, can you pirate PS3 games now?

>>389453201
It's simple: there are people out there that have no money or way to put money into the internet, so they just pirate shit.
And guess what? people that do have money actually buy games.
If this was not the case, no publisher would bother with publishing games on PC, as it would be a waste of money.

Now if you want to see an cancer that actually kills developers, you should look at G2A.
They basically get a bunch of people that were willing to pay 60 bucks on a game, and sells em the game for 10, robbing actual real profit.

I only buy games if they have a multiplayer component I want to play. Otherwise why would I pay for something I can get for free? Doesn't make sense.

>>389457015
Ever since that shill wave hit /v/ a few weeks ago that G2A is worse for developers than pirating that's where I buy all my games. Makes me feel great that I'm doing real damage to them while I enjoy a legitimate copy of their software.

>>389456780
Ever since I moved out and got a job and had to start paying for all my expenses I started pirating everything. Before I would just ask daddy for some money but now I got bills to pay and a limited income so fuck paying 60 bucks for a video game. I'd much rather spend that money elsewhere.

Everyone on any other board pirates their material (where relevant). It's only an issue here.

>>389459648
Seriously? At some point everybody in the first world started pirating when limelight and shit went mainstream, it was so severe that the movie and music industry started lobbying against piracy. Then some laws changed in many countries and normalfags got scared forever after some people had to pay fines, because they were unable to adapt to safer piracy methods.

>>389460043
It's not five percentage. We don't even make up the majority on 4chan, anymore. The vast majority of normies buy their things. Maybe it's not even 2%, maybe we're 1. Big name game makers complain about it, because that 1-2% could be 1-2% profit and on their scale it's a lot of money, and tiny makers, people who make eroge and the like, complain because their games target populations of people more savvy but also dramatically prone to pirate. In the population of people who play eroge, you bet most have pirated most of their libraries.

It'd be easy to steer this thread to a discussion about the direction of the games industry, just by saying they target normies because they're going to buy their story driven crap, and not complain or criticise the shit gameplay, whereas the tiny minority of piraters will notice it's not a game but a fucking film, but they're not going to pay for it anyway, so makers don't care.

I still wish I didn't pay for Deus Ex Human Revolution. I should have pirated that, I'll tell you that for fucking free.

I guess when it comes to 3DS and emulating I just pirate games and don't give a fuck, but with PC I always buy it if I like it. I loved Alien Isolation so much after pirating it that I bought it before I'd even got half way, especially after hearing how mediocre its sales were.
