How do pirates cope with lack of features that games usually have?
I don't give a shit about morality but lack of updates, multiplayer and all that other shit sounds like pain in the ass.

Don't care, got the game for free lol
Broken AAA cancer that takes 1 year to fix isn't even worth a pirate though.
Most multiplayer sucks donkey dick.
RS2 and DRG are all I need and those games are dirt cheap.
>features
What fricking features? In-game stores and lootboxes and shit? Frick off zoom zoom.
fpbp
Chuckled pretty hard, this is basically why I don't care.
Back in the day when piracy was blooming nobody cared, because games were one-time experiences - pirate, play through, delete, move on to another game. Games-as-a-service is cancer.
Knowing that I saved several tens of thousands over the past two decades helps me cope.
>Updates
Uninstall and reinstall the newest version
>Multiplayer
Most aren't good, highest played pvp and co-op games are free or always heavily discounted
>All other shit
Not having to spend $70 every time I wanna try out something new risk free is better than any possible thing they could offer me in the retail version
>Updates
Available
>multiplayer
Don't care
>pain in the ass
Easier than online drm
I forgot you also get mods unlike official release.
I either pirate games long after they got their last updates, or finish the game by the time there's new update.
As for fomo bullshit I don't care. Obviously there's no point pirating multiplayer focused games.
Anon, my mom is dating a Black person when my dad is hasn't even been dead for two years yet
I can cope with pirated games.
>How do pirates cope
We dont
I haven't pirated anything in forever because anything remotely worth playing is so rare that i just buy it outright. Days of wasting time on random games that barely hold my interest like in teenage years are long over. If i'm not 100% into the game then I dont play it.
>updates
You can update pirated games.
>Multiplayer
Frick that shit.
>all that other shit
?
>You can update pirated games.
And it's pain in the ass.
>Frick that shit.
Sounds like someone who doesn't have any friends.
>>all that other shit

Workshop.
Totally fair but you literally shelve the game for several years at worst.
Do you really want to play that game if you're fine with shelving it for at least a year?
>Do you really want to play that game if you're fine with shelving it for at least a year?
Why not? Are you afraid it'll spoil like milk does if you don't play it within its 1st week of release? What are you getting at?
>And it's pain in the ass.
>Download patch
>Apply patch
Wow. Much pain.
>Sounds like someone who doesn't have any friends.
That's right.
>Workshop
You can download from the workshops of a good portion of games even without an account.
For the others there's usually some kind of repository like Smods.
Updating games manually is a pain in the ass compared to literally doing nothing. Especially when it comes to games that get frequent updates. And good luck finding a patch for some unpopular game.
>What are you getting at?
Do you really would wait a year for a game you're actually excited about when it's already available both in steam and on torrent?
If the game's broken then yea, I will wait and let buycucks betatest it until it's fixed.
>lack of updates
Not true. You're just too Amerimutt to know where to get them.
>>You can update pirated games.
>And it's pain in the ass.
No, it's trivial. You're just moronic. For real. I'm not saying this just to rile you up. You are incomperent. Only fit for manual labor.
>And it's pain in the ass.
No.
Leave, tourist
I only pirate the games when all the updates and dlc are out or when the complete/ultimate/goty got released. Dun care about multiplayer or any online features. Mod solves any missing content. Installation is so easy nowadays you dun even need to copy paste the crack.
no denuvo
can be played offline
saved 70 bucks
If it sounds like a pain in the ass you mite b a homosexual moron
>lack of updates
You can download every single update out there for everything except Denuvo games. 99% of which aren't even worth downloading for free.
>multiplayer
Valid but I personally don't care
>and all that other shit
Like what? Not fricking around with three different launchers and registering accounts?
Theres no need to pirate in a democratic society you either have a job or neetbux to pay for your games.
>multiplayer
private servers exist and they often are even better than the original game because they do whats fun and not what squeezes most money out of the paypigs.
Last game I consider to have really pirated was Elden Ring.
I honestly don't feel like I missed out on anything by not having online or updates.
Finished the game in 3 weeks or so, didn't really feel like I was missing out on multiplayer and these incompetent japs didn't add patches to fix quests that weren't complete until way later so I was already done with the game by then.
I felt like I missed out even less when I saw that online was as I expected, a complete unfun clusterfrick of umbalanced bullshit where everyone uses fingerprint shield and rivers of blood + dozens of exploits.
Yeah multiplayer is the biggest drawback of the Souls games.
It's shit, and even if you turn it off it actively ruins the rest of the game with locked quests and impossible item grinds.
Unless you cheat of course. But still, it's fricking stupid.
At what point in the from series do you ever have to grind? The games have cheese mechanics out the ass.
I think it was 2 that had stuff locked behind the covenant items and you don't get enough of them just by exploring.
I had my fun with it in Dark Souls 3 even if there was a lot shit you could say about online that I couldn't really refute, because as an invader it felt like if you were good enough you could win in any situation as long as you used your items/weapons or the environment well enough, but I'm just not seeing that being the case in Elden Ring.
>unless you cheat
Yeah when I felt like I was about to get bored of invading I just started cheating to give myself some moronic to farm consumables like Siegbros and made myself a few funny custom spells then called it quits.
I just play on unofficial servers or use shit like game ranger for the older stuff
>multiplayer
I'm not really into online pvp and not a lot of games have coop, some of them have pirated online like MH:World or Elden Ring so this is enough for my purposes of playing with my friend. Still bought both games after pirating them since they're great
>updates
Double-edged sword. While you can install updates on pirated games I prefer convenience of automatic updates and usually buy frequently updated indies. HOWEVER, pirated games also have the easiest option of NOT updating at all. Disabling that per-patch per-game is a pain in the ass on steam and is probably impossible on other launchers, which is a big drawback for single-player games.
>all that other shit
Like what, achievements? Eh, it's just not worth it. Workshop is a pain in the ass to work around but that's about it.
I don't play shitty games with tacked on multiplayer features
What I don't get is why anyone would want to plauly multiplayer in a world where you'll get banned for saying, "leave children alone". That's too much for me. Rather just play single player with no online features.
Just avoid AAA monitored zoomer cancer?
It's not hard.
Updates get pirated to so idk what you think pirating is.
I only pirated indi games so I never dealt with multiplayer stuff
If i ever come across a multipayer game i really like i'll just...buy it?
Hasn't happened in the past 5 years though.
>updates
Don't care.
Features?
