We live in the safest time to pirate games.

What makes you keep buying singleplayer games? Masochism?

>>714877846
Even redditors are less normie than you.

>>714877612 (OP)
Do you keep it all on an SSD or a hard drive?

>>714877612 (OP)
I want to support the developers of the games I like. If I pirate something it's because it's a game from an AAA studio, but I think playing those is a waste of time so I almost never pirate.

>>714877612 (OP)
There are basically no games worth pirating.

>>714877612 (OP)
Where can I pirate Tourist Bus Simulator?

>>714877612 (OP)
I can't even find the effort to pirate modern AAA slop anymore and the indie games I want are either so cheap its not worth it or so obscure that finding cracks isn't worth the bother

>>714877612 (OP)
I like to support smaller devs, so they can shove more shit in my mouth.

>>714877612 (OP)
I'm finally not poor anymore

>What makes you keep buying singleplayer games?

Firstly, thank you for making this thread every day. I think the two main reasons I would pay for stuff is
1. I like cheevos.
2. It feels like I'm supporting the devs, whether it's true or not.
I pirated lots in the past, so I don't care if people do it.

>>714877846
>You do have a right to make a back-up, that's true.
How old is this ad? They always argued that was illegal too.

I always buy games on sale, the modt expensive game I bought was GTA V at $11 kek
I like the convenience of being able to reinstall and have cloud saves (even though I’m on private trackers where I can easily get whatever I want)
I guess it just looks nice to have a small digital collection of games

same
biggest thing for me are cloud saves and friends lists. we use our wishlists and playtime as a basis for gifts and such

>>714882019
>friends lists

Oh, haha, yeah, friends, I know all about those. So many.

>>714882264
>not having an entire graveyard of literally whos he has never spoken too in his friends list from dominating in Valve MP games

>>714877612 (OP)
If it's convenient, it's better to buy that shit and save on headaches.
Any number of things can change that, though. Recently Gearbox made Borderlands 2 (the last good borderlands game) literally free, but considering they're gonna do fucky shit with my computer if I opt in, I will not buy their game even if it's free.

>>714877612 (OP)
Mostly laziness. Granted I still never buy full priced games. 40€ is my hard limit for a video game, but I usually wait until they are around 20€.

>>714877612 (OP)
I don't want the industry to become nothing but live service multiplayer garbage because it's the only thing third worlders can't steal

>>714877612 (OP)
Denuvo is too strong, not that I buy them.

>>714877612 (OP)
I have more money than time

>>714877612 (OP)
You're right, but I'm lazy and I don't feel like looking around for stuff.

>>714877612 (OP)
I pretty much only pirate vidya when there is no fairly priced and convenient alternative.

>>714883620
What possible headache could you get honestly? TPB has a trust factor for uploaders and every game is on there. At most getting a game from a launcher from one of the links is like 2-3 extra clicks it's fucking brain dead it tells you exactly what to do

>>714884675
Such a horrible feeling, was unemployed 2009-2024. Having no money fucking sucked. Finally got a job but now I'm too tired to play games, yet now I can afford all the games.

zoomers don't even know what a folder is

>>714877612 (OP)
Why are these sites even allowed to exist, to begin with? They can remove pedophilia, but not this?

>>714885928
>Why are these sites even allowed to exist, to begin with?

The site you're looking at is Reddit, and that's what the R/ stands for. Piracy websites exist because it's not illegal in every country.

>>714877612 (OP)
East European, South America, India, Southeast Asia thread. The fact you don't even hide it or your /r/Reddit origins tells me everything I need to know about the average third worlder posting about piracy on /v/ or why a certain twitter account from india is spammed here. Turd world pirate.

>>714886376
The PirateBay people were jailed and they were in Scandinavia. Also you're from the third world by the way.

>>714880601
>runs like shit on a 5080
Yeah, no thanks.

>>714877612 (OP)
I'll buy a game if it's on sale really cheap or if it isn't able to be pirated.

>>714877612 (OP)
I'm not black

i'm so broke, i used to wait for deals on steam to buy games when they were 25~ bucks. now i'm so fucked i can't even afford those. if i ever got out of poverty, i would unironically buy the games i pirated.

>>714877612 (OP)
If you like a game, you should support the devs.

>>714877612 (OP)
>safest time to pirate games.
there's no one left cracking dejewvo so no

>>714877612 (OP)
steam workshop is easily the biggest and best reason not to, also >>714878956
sometimes I buy, sometimes I pirate, depending on the particular circumstances. I'm not ideological about it either way.

>>714877612 (OP)
I have crippling paranoia and so I fear about viruses and accidentally opening Steam while playing a pirated game.

>>714877846
Reddit thread but actually unironically still this doesn't make you correct fpWp

They took away your right to making personal backups, which throws all of this out of the window

Third worlders (East Europe, Southeast Asia, India, South America) who make the bulk of Reddit /r/PCMR and /v PC/ are the group of people who pirate and skip game credits. These are the type of subhumans we're dealing with. When I finished Chrono Trigger I was taking it all in when the credits rolled. When a third worlder (pirating) finishes a game, they're exiting out of the credits and wondering why 30 other executables are running in the background with their unupdated PC build full of pirated OS softtware lol.

Reminder that pirating and archiving video games is an act of kindness to future generations. Save as much as you can

>>714877612 (OP)
>What makes you keep buying singleplayer games?
I want more of the ones I like.
If a game isn't worth buying, it isn't worth playing.
If it isn't worth playing, it isn't worth pirating.

pirating old finished games is fine but I can't be bothered pirating new games that release "patches" that add new content haphazardly

>>714878956
Same.
Good achievement system make good games even more enjoyable, and I like my progress tracked. I dislike weird achievements tho. Like fuck off with some gay unnatural shit that you would never do in a game.
This too. I almost never buy the game that I didn't play before. Some rare exceptions usually lead to reinforcing this habit. It's more to a tipping for free game than paying for a game.

>>714887263
The DP (disc protector) would disagree

>>714877612 (OP)
sometimes i buy games on steam or gog and then pirate them on my moded switch

>>714877612 (OP)
Some pirated game installed a fucking botnet on my PC and google kept flagging my connection. I had to solve a captcha any time I ended up on any of their platforms. Ended up formatting the system.

"safe" should be taken with a huge grain of salt. I only downloaded from "trusted" sources and still got fucked. There's always an inherent risk you end up with some zero-day malware. At least I didn't get hit with ransomeware or some shit

>>714877612 (OP)
sheeeeeeeit nigga stealin' sneakers be easy yo why tf crackas be buyin' dat shit????????

>>714877612 (OP)
I'm white.

>>714886981
This but also any possible legal repercussions

>>714877612 (OP)
I like having all my games on one place so I can easily manage them, uninstall them, get the updates directly and dlc too instead of scrolling through dozens of deadlinks on csrin
And I also have money now (I still buy keys because they're cheaper)

>>714877612 (OP)
We live in the safest time to rob houses and rape.
What makes you keep not robbing houses and raping people? Masochism?

>>714893817

No we don't, malware just became more sophisticated and harder to detected by the layman due to majority just mining bitcoin

>>714894131
Not with that attitude babe ;)
