>friend refuses to pirate or emulate

>>714244127 (OP)
Zoomers are weird

>>714244127 (OP)
Whenever somebody says that piracy doesn't affect sales, I remember threads like these and laugh.

>>714244127 (OP)
They refuse because they don't know how.

>>714245016
It's scary

>>714244127 (OP)
I simply have no reason to.

>>714244127 (OP)
Piracy is a pathway to abilities many would consider... illegal...

>>714245016
no its not that i literally showed my friend and he just refuses to to it.

>>714244127 (OP)
OP? My Question?

>>714244127 (OP)
It’s not the Nintendo way!

>>714244127 (OP)
i remember teaching some kid at lunch in highschool like 12 years ago how to emulate shit on his phone and i've never seen someone as excited and grateful again in my life
i remember this other girl spazzing out at me for emulating firered on one of the class pcs "THAT'S ILLEGAL DELETE IT NOW"

>>714245732
>say a funny joke that has the word "faggot" in it
>everyone at the family gathering laughs except my female cousin, who gets super pissy about it
>couple of months later turns out she calls her friends faggots in the group chat all alonf
w*men are the most superficial faggots on Earth. Dugusting two-faced moral highground cunts. I wish I could just thanos snap them all out of existence.

>>714245732
It is illegal bitch tits

>>714244127 (OP)
Your friend sounds based. Why do you think it's a knowledge issue?

>>714246248
It's not illegal to emulate if you own a licensed copy of the game.

>>714244127 (OP)
It's even better when zoomers start defending corps and saying stop being poor and buy the products

I hate bootlickers

>>714244127 (OP)
im afraid of viruses

>>714244127 (OP)
It'd be fine if they didn't also constantly whine about shit like
"ohh I want to play this old abandonware... I wanna replay my old console games but they're all sold/in storage... None of my 20 streaming services have this movie"
Nigga, you already know the solution.

>>714245639
Not from Nintendo.

>>714245016
>friend refuses to shoplift
>because he doesn't know how
Yeah... many such cases, man... :(

>>714244127 (OP)
I don't know if I'm becoming a good goy, but today I bought Nioh on the Steam sale instead of pirating like I always do. Granted it only cost 7.50 dollars which is why I bought it, but still. That being said I'll keep pirating all GOG games

>>714246514
Just because someone's not pirating doesn't mean they're paying corporations for their slop, if that's what you're playing at.

>>714247064
pirating results in more sales
Reduced decision anxiety means more games get played. then if the games weren't shit people cough up the dough

>>714247146
who said evil. stop projecting

>>714247151
>pirating results in more sales
lmao. So is piracy about hurting corporate profits or helping them? There's some mixed signalling going on here.

>>714247212
Laws are supposed to be based on morality
If a law isn't condemning something evil and is basically unenforceable you're a bootlicker

>>714247151
>retarded pedophile

>>714247303
The corporation is worth more than the individual. Know your place.

>>714247303
>If a law isn't condemning something evil
What kind of a christcuck reasoning is this? Or are you some kind of teenage satanworshipper instead?

>>714247302
if corporations produce good games that people want to play it will help them, if they produce shit then hype it up to get people to bite it like a hook then it wont increase sales. with piracy there is no sonic o6 situation where developers will punt on a bad game.

>>714247303
Do you think it's morally well-adjusted to pirate games that can only be made if everyone else is willing to pay for them?

i emulate games because i refuse to buy someones used copy of pokemon for $200

>>714247151
>Reduced decision anxiety
LOL. Is this the newest cope? First time hearing this.

>>714246356
Yes, it is. To emulate you need a rom, to get a rom you have to copy it from somewhere, you are legally not allowed to copy it, simple as.

>>714247529
nobody is being paid in real money so i don't care no. If everyone pirated my game and I never made a dime on it I would not be upset either, and I am making one.
>>714247561
must be nice being able to afford any 100 dollar game you want schlomo chan, never had to decide what game to rent at a block buster? anyway piracy these days is basically the same as renting back then. game devs like nintendo SEETHED at renting services.

i haven't pirated in eons i just wait for the game of the blah blah platinum mega edition with all the patches and dlc that ends up half the price, or less, it was on launch and the game is finished.

>>714247651
>If everyone pirated my game and I never made a dime on it I would not be upset either
You're either lying or severely mentally handicapped.

>>714247651
>must be nice being able to afford any 100 dollar game you want
Yes. And if you can't afford that, you are not allowed by law (or any sort of dubious morality) to steal instead.

>>714247661
That doesn't work for people who pirate because they unadmittedly want to play the new hype game at launch while calling other people bootlickers.

>>714246172
This but with your mom too

>>714247873
there isnt much overlap in people who want to play new games on launch day and pirates

>>714247810
nope and nope.
>>714247864
you eat childrens foreskin and drink infant blood through their penis. I don't care what your book of laws say is immoral.

>>714247651
based

The modern consumer has been conditioned to consider updates, content drip, community participation and the curated online experience as key parts of gaming. There is no reason for them to pirate feature complete single player games because they are "dead games".

I watched the OT and the Prequels last week and the week before and it's so fucking good guys

Underrated

>>714244127 (OP)
As others have said, it's because most people just don't give enough of a fuck to bother with that shit and figure out how to do it. Which is fine, if you care that much just put it together for them and hook them up. You're not a cool h4x0r for knowing how to pirate you fuckass dork. That said, I don't what it is like for third world bitches who deal with this lel.

You are a spiritual nigger.
