piratebros... we got too cocky

what

FBI can't do shit on Russian sites though.

sad day for ESL third-world pedophiles

Just pirated another 200 games today :)

>>715266503 (OP)
>loss of $170 million

Hypothetically speaking would said $170 million actually been spent if the site didn't exist?

oh no, I guess I'll have to go back to not buying any games because they're 99% pozzed shite and simultaneously also hurt the 1% of devs that might make something decent

>>715266503 (OP)
estimating losses based off pirate downloads is the most dead shit imaginable

Several? Wasn't it just nsw2u? What else did they get?

I hate this jewish lie that pirated copy = loss
Nobody using this website would buy nintendo game
Those people would rather not play at all instead of paying 60$ for game + cost of switch

>>715267048
Short answer: no
Long answer: no____________________________________________________________________________________

I looked up the sites. Who seriously used this crap?

>>715266904
Can WE access anything on their Internet, though? I thought Putin demanded Soviet DNS hosts after the rest of the world gave him the finger.

All the pedophiles in the USA can rest easier knowing that the FBI prioritizes stopping video game piracy over arresting them.

>Department of Justice
What does "justice" even mean anymore in burger land?

>>715266503 (OP)
>>715267048
Obviously not. Piracy is genuinely negligible on the industry. Just more fearmongering information controlling bullshit to protect corporate IP

What site was this?

>Those people would rather not play at all instead of paying 60$ for game + cost of switch
It's actually surprising how many people call you a snoy or a shill or just some assmad poorfag because you refuse to buy a shitendo product. Common sense is forgone in the sake of the eternal (You)

>>715267318
This, what a joke of a government.

What about the Epstein list tho

>>715267630
Nah bro that shit ain't real. Here, watch this endless ai slop on youtube shorts inbetween your football gambling and horse gacha races. We know what you want, what you like. Enjoy yourself. Questions are for the big boys.

>your jewish if you ask for money for a product
>you're not jewish though if you're cheap and refuse to pay for things

how does this make any sense?

What's going on? What sites did they nuke?

>>715267807
Yeah I sure love paying $60/mo to play F-Zero GX with input lag. That's not jewish or anything.

Gamers will jump through every fucking hoop imaginable to claim moral authority about pirating a video game and causing a developer to lose profit. They're all communist niggers. Here's hoping to more sites being shut down.

>>715268148

>>715269584
It's true, all cash-money people are saints and not just in America.

>>715267303
you can still access Russian websites, they haven't blocked foreigners from accessing them. It's actually the opposite and some euro countries have gotten their panties in a twist and mandated that ISPs block them, but a simple VPN solves that.

can anyone explain how downloading digital copies of old games impacts anyone but gamestop and ebay?

>>715269404

They might sell a remastered port in 15 years.

>>715269739
They'd be in jail if they did anything bad. With all the activists in the FBI and judges on both side the moment they catch a politician they'd make sure to make them disappear from politics.

>>715269781
Nobody can. But their line of thought is likely: you're using your time playing these old games, while instead you could be paying for our new games, so to force you to spend money we need to prevent you from accessing old free stuff.

>>715267325
Consider that at one time the department of defense was called the department of war.

>They'd be in jail if they did anything bad

>>715268148
"Intellectual property" is just a communist plot to make sure that people don't have rights to private property that they pay for, only to provisional licenses of use granted by a central moralist committee that may be revoked whenever convenient to extract money for the latest production quotas of goods that nobody wanted, or when the individual must be punished for not following the party doctrine.

I hope piracy never dies, it's the only thing still good in our society that chips away from greedy corporations (Netflix, Disney, etc.) and studios (Ubislop, Bioshit, etc.).

I remember when I couldn't afford games and was soo grateful to pirates releasing that stuff for free. My books alone in college costed a small fortune because authors do not care about learning but their fat profits. One professor even told us during lecture that he didin't want to teach and that we should read his book (which was full of errors and costed 150 euro).

I am forever grateful to pirates and people who dedicated their time to crack and share all that material with us.

>>715268148
Yeah bro, I'm bankrupting those developers from the 90's when I download them ROMs

>"Intellectual property" is just a communist plot
Lolwut!?
Intellectual property rights is as liberal (in the actual sense not the amerilard sense) as it gets. Many philosophers specifically argued that it wasnt just what you physically created but what you thought up was yours.

>>715266984
huge projection there buddy.

>>715270698
Hey, that game from 30 years ago was $59.99
That means if 100 people download it today, you just cost the devs $6000.

>>715270608
Explain why Greed is bad. The old companies that made the games you like, were greedy. Otherwise they wouldn't have been made.

>>715270785
But the devs don't exist anymore and it's only not freeware because no rights holder released it as such.

>>715270785
>That means if 100 people download it today, you just cost the devs $6000.
Anyone remember that time when some retarded game engine planned to charge by the download. So a bunch of pirates planned to purposely pirate the game over and over again, to rack up charges for the dev?

>>715270882
>Explain why Greed is bad.
Because it knows no bounds or reason.

>>715267048

>>715267048
What do you mean? Clearly every single time you pirate a game, you would have pay full price if there wasn't an option to do so. People pirating games they never would have paid for anyway? Preposterous!

>>715270225
I would not be in the least surprised if many of them are the biggest victims in this incident. Imagine you get invited to this guys island not knowing what's going on and suddenly there's some chick rubbing your shoulders, which is already big compromat if they are married. Whether they leave or let it go further now they're shitting because they're on what people imagine is a list of rapists who serial gaped 6 year old's pussies while they screamed and begged but it was more like "hey miss 17.99 year old do you want to fly to an island and give a rich guy a handjob for 1000 dollars (he's shy and will try to refuse btw)" and she was like "hell yeah", got paid and left smiling but now you're a "rapist".

Philosophers are autistic retards whose ideas should not be taken as prescriptions. That liberalism went better than communism for a while is because england was great and russia was always trash, it's not the idea its the quality of person implementing it.

>>715270762
>(((intellectual property)))
>liberal
nothing further from the truth
it's a state-granted monopoly to restrict copying and derivatives of a work. that's as commie as it gets
ideas, concepts, music, dances, images, etc. can't be owned, just like air or peace. only the manifestation of a work in a fixed medium can. to argue against this fact is insanity.
tl;dr stop being a commie

>>715271075
>Imagine you get invited to this guys island not knowing what's going on
How underage are you? Anybody that had power and was friends with Epstein knew exactly the kind of man he was and what his island was about. Hell even the public always knew it. The rich don't keep themselves social uninformed.

>>715271372
From the makers of "12 million players on day one" and "this is what our profits will be next quarter"

>>715270762
So why am I being told that I do not own what I pay for, I must abide by the dictates of the state and the whims of bureaucratic entities to access what I have paid for? Free markets, free ownership. This deception is exactly the kind of thing you can expect from authoritarian centralized systems that believe they, and not the free actions of individuals, should control how markets act and what people should believe and individually express. It's communism in all but name: The state owns everything, the corporations own the state, and you own nothing and you will be happy about it unless you want to lose the right to access what you paid for.

You know prostitution is also a crime right? You also know that if you hire several prostitutes to sell to a clientele you are now running a prostition ring and you yourself are a pimp.

>>715270882
I am not saying that they shouldn't be priced, but hiking up prices up to 80 dollars/game is insane especially in my economy.

The artists, the writers, the tech teams should be payed their salaries for creating it, but it's excessive to ask after a certain price level just to please your CEO and the company's yearly quota (much like I believe happened to Assassin's Creed).

Ultimately Greed is bad because it kills the games, companies fire competent people, just to make more money and forget what the core game was and who they made it for. Examples of this are: Ubisoft, Bioware and most recently Subnautica 2. Please tell me how their greed for more money have made these games any better? In my honest opinion greed hasn't helped at all.

Not sure what your point is, crimes and immoral acts were definitely committed and they should be prosecuted, my point is if you prosecuted them you'd probably be prosecuting mostly agents of the FBI and CIA. this is probably a story about our out of control spy agencies and the scummy shit they do, not some evil child rapist ring.

zoomers only dislike piracy because they're too dumb to know how to pirate without getting viruses.

The only thing niggers are right about is not following the rules of a society that hates you. The problem is this isn't the 60s anymore. Everything is inverted, niggers are loved by society but they still commit crime, while whites are hated but still follow the rule of law.

Was only a matter of time before they cracked down on this. Honestly the only reason piracy has gone this long without something like this happening is the pure ignorance of the elderly lawmakers in government.
Even after the Trump administration I forsee more anti-piracy measures being put in place by the government as time goes on.

>>715267318
you have to understand, unlike pedos, piracy hurts real people (companies)

you could've just pirated in silence, but you decided to be an attention whore faggot trying to portray piracy as some liberal moral cause to fight muh evil capitalism because you have an inferiority complex due to not being able to afford anything and feeling envy when you see other people actually buying what they like
so congrats on fucking yourself over, some pirates are okay, but you drama queens deserve what you get

Why do pirates keep posting here? You aren't welcome here, everyone laughs at how poor and stupid you are. Stop using 4chan immediately you invasive pathetic losers.

>just get a job lol

>>715267048
Lol no. And this is all theoretical. It's not a single company that LOST 170 million, logically, it's a collection of games across several, perhaps hundreds of companies that would equate to that value.
So probably, at BEST, maybe around 10,000 or so dollars each, on a very rough scale. Imagine wasting your fucking time on this peanut shit instead of doing something actually productive with your country.

they lose 0 profit because the alternative to me pirating a game is not playing it at all, not buying it. Gamers are such consoomers these days that the only time shit gets pirated is by people too poor to justify spending money on video games in the first place or if they weren't really interested enough in the game at all to spend money on it.

It's weird, simply typing "how to pirate video games" into google will give a reddit megathread with all the information you might need to pirate 95% of all software. But I shouldn't be that surprised, most of them don't even have an adblocker unless it was already preinstalled by the browser itself, they just don't have the patience for stuff like that.

Before the tourist influx there would be near universal condemnation of both misuse of gov't resources to protect corporate profit and the suggestion that piracy means you're stealing eleventy billion potential dollars from some company. I'm not sure if this is a generation of corporate sycophants led around by the nose thanks to culture war and social media garbage or if the incursion of tourist newfags brought people here who never should have been exposed to this kind of place had thedonald or whatever youtuber not told them they could say nigger here, but either way its sad.

Anon used to stand for the oldfag hacker ethos and that we needed to modernize and eliminate a lot of the horribly restrictive, corpo favoring IP laws that
>MAFIAA
companies and the nascent game industry were leaning into more heavily. Invasive DRM like Starforce (the Denuvo of its era) were condemned rightly, as Denuvo should be today and invasive ring-zero anticheats.. Every single legitimate study of piracy shows that those who pirate the most also buy the most (assuming means; some favela dweller who couldn't afford a game in the first place of course doesn't count) which makes sense as people buy stuff that takes their interest, they want to support for one reason or another etc. Every time a pirate site got knocked offline there was generally the confidence that from every head cut two more would rise; and near universal condemnation for this waste of law enforcement resources especially if someone isn't trying to sell bootlegs/access to them etc. These days however, so much shit was done in insular Discord faggotry that gets lost if its shut down and other failures of both organization and technical nature, like scene crackers being replaced by those who only do so for profit- something that was anathema in the old days. Some responses still maintain some hope thankfully, but seeing a thread like this shows the degree of cancer's metastasis

>>715267048
No, there is not even a potential sale in many cases because older games haven't been available for purchase for 25+ years.
This line of thinking also assumes the consumer has infinite money and would always spend it on video games if possible which just isn't how the real world works.
If a game is only avaliable to play by spending $80 then many people simply are not going to play it, even more so if its an older game that hasn't been available to legally purchase in decades, consumers will simply choose a cheaper or free alternative.

So far I've stolen $2000 from Nintendo by pirating Nintendo Switch games, I am counting the console price to this tally.

The other day I downloaded Custom Robo for the GameCube. Since it's no longer in production, the hypothetical value of this product that is no longer sold by Nintendo would be worth significant amounts of money if you could purchase it in any fashion from Nintendo. I can only conclude I robbed them of roughly $37 million.

>>715267048
Obviously yes because how many people have you read who say they won't give Jews a dime regardless, oh no I guess they can't download other peoples hardwork free, guess they have to either buy it or kill themselves or maybe read a book.

Also the entire "hooker with a heart of gold" premise of guys who seriously do buy the games if they like them has to be the biggest load of crap.

>>715267191
Nintendo proves it, they always outsell every game by a ridiculous margin.

>>715288352
Oh its true. Btw I also buy used copies of games if I do buy physical. sorry corpo but you ain't gettin' money that easy.

>>715276751
Was thinking more of the guys who didn't do anything and noped out but will now have people hounding the govt so they can vigilante kill them (though what you mentioned is a statutory crime not a moral one and I'd feel bad for that dude too. 15 is a grown woman and many of them are already mega sluts).

come on, stop lying. the (((CLASSICS act))) which extended copyright duration for some recordings to 110 years
there's also the ultra jewish felony streaming bill and the (((CASE Act))) which were snuck into a must-pass spending bill and passed mere hours after being revealed. the latter led to the creation of extrajudicial arbitration of copyright claims massively in the favor of publishers (the industry knows all the arbitrators, and the ones that don't rule in favor of them get immediately struck out from the lists given to the plaintiff and defendant). worst of all, that shitty act is so poorly written it enables anyone to send threatening letters regardless of fair use, and your only defense it to respond that you "opt out" of the process and prefer to be sued

>Explain why Greed is bad.
The only reason you don't live under a rape-and-kill warlord or a medieval king is because of charity. John Locke argued that it's far more profitable to simply kill and steal all your wealth than it ever is to trade for it, but that will inevitably end with you being killed and stolen from by people who work together as a charitable organization with common goals.

Our politicians used to understand this. America was one of the first countries to undergo Trustbusting, where huge companies who were working together under the table were broken up and their assets redistributed because they could not be trusted with large swaths of important American infrastructure.

Video games aren't important, however: When companies become so greedy as to gatekeep what is effectively a product that costs them nothing, that leads to the inevitable underground market. These are the same companies who tried to ban used game sales, they aren't moral nor are they correct on the piracy issue.
