do you pirate vidya?

Yes.

>>714606285 (OP)
who cares
I just like free games baby

It's not stealing when I do it because everything belongs to me.

Like this thread, which is now about me.

is the rental car still there after you steal it?

>>714606285 (OP)
Theft implies the item in question was under someone's ownership, and we've established that ownership of media is not a thing anymore, therefore neither is theft.

Only old games. new games i don't buy or pirate.
Also i do buy old games on heavy discount when they're hard to find on torrent shit because it's more convenient.

>>714606285 (OP)
I do pirate but the answer is that I am no longer a potential customer to support the creators and so are those other hundreds of thousands who also pirate, what's so hard to understand?

Nice strawman. Piracy is illegal possession of copyrighted or trademarked material without proper licensing. Nobody ever said it was theft.

Absolutely. Rather spend my money on something else.

>>714608207
stealing the rental car hurts the rental company because the person who stole the rental car don't need to rent a car from them any more

I pirate and torrents your game, now what fed?

In the overwhelming majority of cases game developers are subhuman scum with nothing but malice and contempt for their customers. Their products represent the lowest quality which can be sold, they are criminally incompetent, cynical, gaslighting, lying, all around sacks of shit. Pirating is not just a moral right, it is an obligation. And if the game does turn out and the developer represents the minuscule minority who do not fit the above description, you can always buy the game afterwards.

No, you have a copy of the thread. You own the copy, not the original thread.

many drawfags make shitty posts saying how morally correct piracy is
and then they have a meltdown when their patreon exclusive pictures leak or someone uses AI to do their own pictures in their style

>>714610540
yes

I've been pirating navigation updates for years.

Nobody would be mad at those nignogs if they damaged the property of scam artists, which most game devs are.

Yes. If I see a heartfelt plea from an indie dev or something is on sale I may buy it but I haven’t in a long time.

>>714606285 (OP)
I used to but Steam became more convenient.

>>714606285 (OP)
If everyone pirated then games couldn't be developed. You're bragging about acting like a parasite.

>>714606285 (OP)
Yes. And it is a service issue. Emulation offered by companies like Nintendo is fucking trash in comparison to fanmade options.

>>714606285 (OP)
The only reason I don't pirate is because I have money and don't mind paying for things I actually like.
I've got too many games to feel compelled to use piracy as a "try-before-you-buy," and I've never had the feeling of "well I like the game but I don't want my money going to the people who made it."
That said I have zero moral opposition to piracy and it's fine if you do it. Whatever.

>>714606285 (OP)
What if I'm a car salesman, and after some faggot buys my car he reverse engineers it and starts giving away copies of that car for free? It'd put me out of business.

Good. The industry is cancer and needs to die. It will be reborn better, if smaller.

>>714616780
You're pretty deluded if you think someone should plea their heart out to you just to keep you from disrespecting them lmao.

I've never seen both of those things happen

>The industry is cancer
That may be, but you still seem to enjoy its product well enough.

>>714616793
I still pirate anyway because Valve keep being retarded with their policy. I can play Dungeon Travelers 2 just fine on a Vita, but noo, not on PC for some reason despite the actual porn games hosted there

>Software uses my hardware, internet and energy + time
If anything devs owe me money for pirating their stuff.

>>714606285 (OP)
Heh. They never saw it coming.

>>714606285 (OP)
Yes. And if i like the game i'll buy it. Simple as

I could count the times I have pirated a game with one hand, maybe both of my hands at worst. Last time I pirated was like 8 years ago. I love supporting things I like with my money

Sorry retard but the person that made the first duplicate is the pirate. Other people downloading the copy of the copy is actually perfectly protected by current laws. See facebook vs supreme court for the most recent btfoing

>>714619048
Yeah but you need to have all the right parts available so you can build it correctly. Shame it's much harder to copy than 1s and 0s.

Of course I do. Especially Amerishart games, they don't deserve any money.

>>714619546
Not what I had in mind, sad.
Unfortunately politicucks will continue to punish pirates, despite copyright and licensing being actual poison for any health economy. Research is clear: who wants to pay will pay, and some are willing to pay more. The latter is evident in celebs and nowadays gog, the billionaires begging for donations.

>>714606285 (OP)
I only buy Denuvo games and pirate everything else

>>714606285 (OP)
Yes. Mostly for stuff that can't get purchased anymore

I always find it funny how pirates can't stand being regarded as thieves. I guess they don't like being compared to the nigger criminals that they hate so much.
