>Ganker when they’re told that they’re supposed to pay for games
-
I pay devs in good word of mouth.
-
Oh, okay. I’d like to hire you then. Oh, but you’ll be paid in good word of mouth, not money. I hope that’s not a problem…
-
Who cares faggot I’m not ever going to work for a game company
-
I didn’t say you’d be working for a video game company. You know what, you don’t have to work at all, I’ll just give you some NEETbux every month.
Only I’ll be paying those NEETbux in word of mouth and exposure. Again, it’s just as good as actual money, right?
-
Fuck off game dev faggot. Maybe you should make software that isnt so easily pirateable then? Or just stop caring?
-
Great idea, put a shitton of DRM in every game. Always online, the works. Make it as oppressive as possible.
And you can’t complain about that. It was your idea.
-
Not my problem i buy games I like. I dont even pirate but its a non issue for me. Only time always online is unacceptable is on a handheld. On a pc that is hooked up to ethernet? Its a non issue.

This is literally how publishers work

Hey, you can’t complain! You think paying devs in word of mouth is acceptable, right? So why isn’t it okay to pay you in word of mouth? If you don’t like how your own medicine tastes, whose fault is that, hmm?
-
I think video games shouldn’t exist and world finance needs to collapse to the point where people actually value their leisure time. Also you will never be a woman
-
>I think video games shouldn’t exist and world finance needs to collapse to the point where people actually value their leisure time
That’s pretty stupid. Nobody is obligated to play video games. It’s nobody’s fault but yours if you choose to spend all of your free time playing video games.
-
I don’t actually play video games I surf Ganker on my phone at work for (you)s then work out 3 hours a day to get pussy

I’m just not gonna do any work for you in the first place. Lel
What are devs gonna do? Unmake their games? Lmao -
Nah, thanks, I won’t work for you.
I hope that’s not a problem…-
So it’s okay for you to pay people with "word of mouth", but not for me to pay you with "word of mouth"?
Hypocrites.
-
It all stems from the fact that you assume I would, in any "paralel universe" (if you could prove such things) actually PAY you.
But I’m gonna let you in a little secret – If I couldn’t get it for free, chances are, I’d NEVER buy it.
So you, the developer, won’t see my money neither if I play it or if I don’t.
It doesn’t change the developer’s situation – They will NOT get my money.
The only butthurt generated here is yours, because you are too dumb to understand the concept of me not acquiring your product in any way.However, in the example you put forth, you actually require me to work for you – Which I, as lots of developers in lots of companies, will do only if you agree to pay me in advance.
I, as an employee, don’t give a shinning fuck about where you get the money to pay me, but PAY me at the end of the month, or when I perform my service.The whole thing about "Piracy is a crime" comes from companies who have a fixed cost (paying developers) vs having variable gains (purchases of their videogame)
Thus, "Piracy is a crime" is proven to effectively be the biggest fucking marketing campaign to ever exist.
Basically because:
1 – It’s the Big Companies the ones who suffer from piracy instead of legit purchases.
2 – It’s the Big Companies who wish to increase the number of purchases of their product, (wrongly) believing that, if they limit the free downloads, they will get these people to actually pay for the product.When, in reality, the logic of my number 2 is upside down – I am only getting your product BECAUSE it’s free – The moment I have to pay for it, I won’t get it.
Which brings us back to my first sentence – The company is NEVER getting my money, regardless of if I get to play the game or not.Case in point: Nintendo, Activision, EA, and many other companies which games not only I don’t buy, but I don’t even pirate – Because I’m not interested in their product.
-
Extra plus, because character limit reached:
Most games I pirated and played for over 2 hours, I ended up buying.
I can’t say that ALL pirates are legit good guys who end up supporting the "developers" (indirectly, by paying their company), but I can assure you, pirates have bigger balls and sense of honor than paypigs.
Mainly because pirates know the worth of money, and of not spending it stupidly.
That, plus the fact that non-pirates are probably too stupid and dumb to even KNOW how to pirate.So, we have a mix of an utterly incapable and unknowledgeable butthurt paypig who tries to act like he has the moral ground, while he’s nothing more than a grown kid
vs
A grown adult who knows how to manage their finances, knows how money works and flows, and has the ability to force the existence of a copy of the product, without actively damaging anyone else (a replica is not the same as stealing, my dear friend)From an economical POV, you stupid people have no argument, because you simply cannot prove the non-existence of the purchase – You can never know for certain you are "losing money", you can only assume so, from a position of conceitedness and self-smugness.
And have a final thought exercise, for your infantile, teenager brain:
If a tree falls into a deserted forest, will it make any sound?Have fun providing empirical evidence to your answer 🙂

Supermarkets and Video Games are a completely different thing
Also nothing is stopping you from growing your own food-

A.) Do you think bideogames are a biological necessity like food is? How much time per day do you spend on Ganker?
B.) How much unit loss does food theft entail? How much unit loss does piracy entail?-
The point is that "if I can’t get it for free I won’t buy it" is a fucking retarded argument.

No it isn’t. Most games don’t have demos anymore.

Yes, Ganker is like the biggest consumer board on all of Ganker, and that’s including /toy/. I don’t think I’ve seen another board get so worked up over which megacorporation is better.

I’ll hire you too, and I’ll pay you in exposure. What, you want me to actually pay you with actual money? Don’t be silly! Exposure and word of mouth is just as good, isn’t it?

Nah, I refuse to work for you.
Now you can go ahead and refuse to make games 🙂

I’m paying with my time and hard drive space
If your game isn’t even worth for free then I’m not paying full price for it

Hey, I’m curious — did you know that this joke used to be "I’m gay btw, not sure if that matters" a few years ago, or did you start making this joke without knowing the history?

This save for woke indies, that get the same AAA “pirate everything” treatment.

This except I pirate indies too but I feel bad about it
This save for woke indies, that get the same AAA “pirate everything” treatment.
But all the good indies are woke
I suppose it depends on what you define as woke. Do you consider having a female main character in a historical setting purely for the sake of representation to be woke?-
Only if she’s ugly
-
Factorio guy is not woke, kcd is not, the age of decadence guy is not. Even if some good ones lean left, anyone that does not fucking pontificate on twitter, or at least professional enough to not let personal politics color their work, is not woke. By definition woke means being an obnoxious virtue signaling bleeding heart retard more worried about agenda and/or marketing than making games.

I mean, if the option of playing for free is there, why not take it?
>muh poor developers
get better anti-piracy software then?-
Yeah i mean why not just rob every store you come across. Or take your neighbors car. Or just shoot the bank teller. The option is there.
I hope you dont mind when i come and murder you for your stuff, though.-

Not how that works.-
I have been torrenting for over 20 years now, and have a library of roughly 50 something games with a external hard drive with almost double that, you can call piracy a crime all you want but ultimately nobody gives a fuck about it, call me the bad guy if that makes you feel better somehow, keep riding your self righteous high horse, carry on, bottom line is, I have pirated, Im pirating and I will keep pirating because despite all those spooky piracy warnings you see in your movies nobody will ever give a damn

>get better anti-piracy software then?
You mean like DRM? Always online? That kind of thing? Great idea, put it in every game!
-
if you dont want me to pirate then yeah, but then again you are understimating the autism of pirate crackers, drm and always online are not as strong as they used to be
-
So you’re saying they should implement even more oppressive antipiracy measures, then.
-
>drm and always online are not as strong as they used to be
Bruh denuvo is so strong only a few trannies are able to beat it, why did you think we get daily threads seething about it?-
They should just put Denuvo in every game. If pirates are going to shit all over the place without remorse, we can’t have nice things, and it’s entirely the pirates’ fault.

Remove DRM, sign-in requirement, and always online, and I might consider paying.
-
>Remove DRM, sign-in requirement, and always online
That’s there because you wouldn’t pay, idiots. That’s like a shoplifter saying "turn off all of those security cameras and maybe I’ll pay for this stuff".
-
Did you renew your authorization to wear those clothes? Do you have a camera in your home from the company to constantly confirm the purchase?
-
The point is that DRM is there specifically because piracy happens. You can’t complain about a policy when you’re the reason it’s in place.
-

-
I will continue to pirate all media and spend the money on things I cannot pirate.
-
Stop complaining nerds.
Epic is picking up the tab -
Haven’t payed for a game since 2008.
Not planning on changing that. -
The problem isn’t paying for games. It’s that games are chock-full of scams, anti-consumer practices and are just generally not a good investment.
In between inflated prices, exclusivity, proprietary hardware, publishers limiting how people use the things they paid for and games just generally being lower and lower quality as it goes along, why the fuck would I spend any money on it?
And that’s without even getting into any political debate, because once you do there’s even more reason why you shouldn’t be financially supporting this industry.-
Why even insist on being a part of it at all? Why not just walk away. That’s an optional. Why not just find something else to do? None of the people here are here because someone is holding a gun to their head and telling them to bitch about video games. They’re here entirely of their own volition. You could just choose to not be here. You could always just walk away. And if you don’t, well, that’s your choice. You choose to stay in a system you despise. Nobody is forcing you to put up with all of that stuff. It doesn’t have to be your problem.
-
I stay in the system I despise because I want to, and I don’t support it because I don’t want to. Simple. That’s also an option.

For example, the entirety of the NES and SNES library, specifically older versions of games no longer available for purchase, or games not even owned by publishers. Also, the entire Mechwarrior series, Front Mission series, Ace Combat series, etc. The latter will never see a storefront again due to licensing issues that can’t be sorted out, which is sad.
-
>Ace Combat 4,5, and Zero will never get HD re-releases because of licensing faggotry

I pirate because i want to live in a cyberpunk world in my lifetime. There are 0 (zero) neon signs near where i live i hate it

Piracy is acceptable in the following circumstances:
>game is dead or not available
>game is old and money goes to soulless corpo that owns the rights
>game is made by giant corpo and piracy will have a negligible effect on sales anywayIf you pirate games made by individuals, or from independent studios, you’re a bad person. That’s actually hurting the person or people that developed the game.

I don’t pay for games
I don’t pirate games
I don’t even pretend to pirate games just to anger people
I pretend to transparently virally market games from developers and publishers that I hate on Ganker as part of short term false flagging campaigns right before release to make as many posters as possible NOT buy those games out of spite.
It’s not enough for me to pirate your game, I have to directly hurt sales to be happy.-
>I pretend to transparently virally market games from developers and publishers that I hate on Ganker as part of short term false flagging campaigns right before release to make as many posters as possible NOT buy those games out of spite.
Honestly that’s pretty based. GOD SPEED.-
if you wanna do this too just post the cover of [hyped upcoming game] and say shit like "I wish I could freeze myself until release" or "who else /HYPE/ here? Just put in my pre order"
the thread will get deleted after 40 or 50 replies but the damage is done. Other posters will inevitably do the same. If you can even prevent half a dozen sales this way your time hasn’t been wasted.

>Christian morality: Piracy is not a sin as intellectual property is not recognized by God and Jesus clones (pirates) fish so that’s OK

What philosophy prevents "pirating" (software sharing)? Ayn Randianism? Judaism?-
>Judaism: Oy vey gentiles aren’t buying our product but still they play it!
-
Christian morality is actually a bit more complicated. Jesus did command his followers to be respectful to the superior authorities, and to pay ceasar’s things back to ceasar. This means we should at least attempt to follow the law, for the sake of harmony between people’s.
Of course, corporate overreach by constantly influencing copyright law, this puts a wrench in things. Are we subject to the greedy whims of corporations, even if it’s immoral and corrupt? I’ve discussed the matter with many christians I know, and they say ultimate you need to use your conscience. If you’re pirating something really old, like 30 years old, it’s okay. If you’re pirating the latest COD because it has black people in it, that’s a dick move.
-
Following the law only works when the laws are fair and just
Copyright law is not fair and just because if it was then Disney should not be holding the rights to Mickey Mouse anymore -
Na, financing megacorps is evil, especially if they push anti-Chrisitan agendas. If the law said Deny Christ, you can’t do it as a Christian as Christian Law triumphs over secular law, it’s actually amoral for a Christian to buy a game from a pozzed studio.

Both good points. It really comes down to a matter of conscience, which is why I don’t pirate modern games. Even if it’s a greedy company like EA or snoy. I’ll just refuse to support them period.

example, they sometimes claim that in a free market broadcast industry, broadcasters would own certain frequencies in a given region and would therefore have the right to broadcast without interference by a pirate radio station on the same frequency.
Yet it is clearly not the frequency that is owned, because a frequency is not a physical object but rather an abstract property of all waves. It is the land over which that frequency is broadcast that is owned, albeit only for the purposes of broadcasting that frequency. Ownership of a radio frequency is ultimately a property right over a region of space, which allows someone to broadcast at a given frequency over it.[3]
This example demonstrates that ownership is not necessarily over entire objects but rather over decisions to be made with regard to them. An object can be owned by many different people because there are many kinds of decisions that can be made about it. Since different frequencies of radio waves can pass through one another without interfering, the same territory can be owned separately for the purposes of broadcasting at each frequency without leading to a conflict.[4]
Ideas cannot themselves be controlled with physical force, but instead must be controlled by way of other things — paper, printing presses, computers, and people. It is therefore in these things that intellectual property consists. To own a patent in a given invention is to have rights over everything in the universe that might be used to replicate that invention. This ownership is limited; one only owns things to the extent of being able to prevent others from arranging them in a particular way.
Similarly, to have a copyright in a song or a book is to have a property right over all paper, printing presses, computers — even over all people — everywhere.

What game is that, Disco Elysium? I’m pretty sure that one’s not free because I saw it on Steam with a price tag, but I never searched because I’m not interested in being preached at by literal commies.
-
Disco Elysium have never said what their political beliefs are AFAIK. People just guess that they’re commies (myself included).
-
Didn’t the fucking guy include Karl Marx in his thank-you acceptance speech for some award they got?

Yes, i pirate video games
No, i dont try to justify it. I just dont give a fuck -
Pirating games is fascism. Not Communism. I have the power to take the games, and you dont have the power to stop me. Might makes right melanoid.
-
Might makes right is also a part of traditional socialism, with the formula obviously being that the proletariat is mightier than the bourgeois. Do remember that fascism came from a rejection of socialist thought, which could only happen because its thinkers were so well acquainted with socialism (often due to being ex-socialists, i.e. Mussolini).
-
Funny you say that when one of the many reasons why communism always crash so hard is you can’t disagree with higher ups when the tell you to do something colossally retarded because they can and will “righfully” siberia’d your ass in a second. The very definition of “might makes right”.

I’ll consider paying when all devs are given shareholder status by law and they get a percentage of all the profits from the company they work for
-
I only pirate things I can no longer legitimately buy, like Black and White + Creature Isle.

Based, I hope you train your avatar into an evil cunt.

The weirdest part of these threads are the whiners who do all these weird mental gymnastics and semantic games to prove how it’s okay to steal games.
Stop being a faggot. Just admit you don’t want to pay. There’s no morals here. It’s not that big of a deal.
-
Wrong. Shoplifters deserve to be raped but piracy is ok.
-
Because you’re "stealing" zeros and ones. They’re not physical objects and it’s not quantumly enabled. Wouldn’t hold up in court.
