Piracy is based!

It's literally not theft.

Why is the middle and the left side text switched?

>actually the fact that retards hold my pov means I'm smart

>>714698769 (OP)
I don't care if it's good or bad or whatever.
Just means free games. Which is neat.

I'm just poor and can't afford them. I don't try and sugarcoat it. If I had the money I'd buy

>>714698865
yeah it's copyright infringement

>>714698865
It is.

Piracy is morally unjustified but framing it as immoral makes it a personal choice rather than something to be prevented.

>>714698769 (OP)
Yep.

>>714698974
80-100cel detected

>>714698865
If all people pirate, all video games companies go bankrupt, so it's inherently bad. No bad as theft, but still imoral.

>>714698865
Yeah stealing your social security isnt theft either

>>714699682
why do people go through all these mental gymnastics of
>erm piracy is actually good!!
or something?
it's just free games

>>714698885
The bell curve exists to mock midwits because they don't possess the intuitive grasp of stupid people nor the esoteric wisdom of intelligent people.

>>714699927
All people will never pirate as long as there's a precedent of paying for things.

>>714700058
Because most people aren't immoral pieces of shit so they need to justify what they do for a good cause rather than a selfish one

136 here.
you can't "own" most games anyways, theres nothing unethical about taking them.
even if you could actually own these games, who gives a fuck anyways. all you're doing is hurting some MBA faggots bottom line which is also a good thing.

not like the actual devs profit in anyway from their creations.

>>714699670
>with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.
Good thing piracy doesn't remove the original.

>>714699682
you NEVER owned the game you fucking retard. you own a license to play it. same with movies and music and all other media. "owning" it means that you could copy and resell and do whatever you want with it. that has never been the case

>Pirate video game
>Virus
EVERY TIME

I pirate games. I have also physically stolen games from brick & mortar stores. It's not even about money, I have money, I just want stuff for free. I don't care what people think. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

>>714700541
Nigger AND a psychopath, Jesus Christ, the world is fucked.

>>714700440
True and it's just as unethical for companies to call it "buying games" when it's clearly become a subscription model that lasts until the publisher or service provider decides to rescind access.

Piracy is good because it preserves games

>>714700058
Because people make the mistake of dignifying those they are trying to argue against, in a context where they really don't have to. As far as I'm concerned though, none of the arguments are wrong. I'm for piracy just because I think it's flat out good and it works. I could get more into the nitty gritty of it, I could make a case for it, and I don't think there's any problem with that whatsoever, necesarilly. I see it as just gamers winning, getting what they want, and big gay jewbisoft filling the role they SHOULD be filling, which is gobbling my cock for me.

>>714700871
So too am I for supporting dvelopers if the game is legitimately good though. The midwit trichotomy doesn't even enter into it, it's just a matter of knowing the difference between economics and the rape of it. Simple as. Nigger nigger nigger.

>>714700671
Eggshually I'm white and my mom used to help me steal the games she would cover and distract the personnel while I did the stealin'

>>714701057
That's also the difference between leaching, parasitism. I'm merely a man with a vision.

>>714700058
It's to convince the fencesitters. Regardless, the piracy can only continue as long as people are still buying the games.

>>714700537
>Pirate a shit game
>end up with undesirable software on your device
You could argue that

>>714700537
never happened in my 20 years of being a wizard

Pirate your video games.

>>714698865
Ok nigger

Piracy is fine but its too much work

>>714698769 (OP)
Ever since i found out about gog games being free i just cant force myself to buy games

>>714700073
This.

>>714699927
Truly free games and passion projects will still exist.
Piracy for good products with good services has also always been negligible.
Those who benefit most from IP law are publishing companies and legal firms and the benefits they gain from it have nothing to do with preventing piracy, but rather censorship, blackmail, fraud, etc.
The current timescales and mechanisms of IP law are not made to benefit creators in the slightest.

>>714699618
That term was made up by jews

>>714699927
Pirates buy good games they liked. non-pirates buy every slop and that's why new games suck

>>714700014
It is. You used word stealing and that means that it is theft

>>714709192
Let me get a copy of your social security

>>714700367
It's a victimless crime, I ain't gotta justify shit

Domestic corporate sabotage is not terrorism legally

But technically

If buying is not owning, then pirating is not stealing.

>>714712585
Yeah say that to the thousands layoff in the past

>>714698865
> Work on something to sell others to get money
> Someone gets it without paying, so you don't get any money for your work
>> HURR DURR IT'S NOT THEFT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LOSE THE COPY YOU WERE SELLING

You stupid retarded fuck, you deprived the creator from the money they were entitled to get from MAKING that product you're consuming.

>>714700508
I own a copy of Operation Flashpoint. I could legally sell it if I wanted.

>>714712716
They were layed off because they were bad at their jobs. Besides, the more devs working on a video game, the more souless it will become, so it's a good thing some of the bloat was trimmed off.
