I just pirated Baldur's Gate 3 because there is no demo and I wanted to try out the game before I spend any money and I don't know if I'll enjoy the gameplay also this game is being hyped so I wanted to check it out.
The last time I bought a game due to hype and didn't enjoy it was Diablo 4 which is when I realized and don't like ARPG games and wasted $70

Depends on how many viruses and your data now being on the dark net you can tolerate
If you know where to look you can largely avoid viruses, that being said there's a scandal going on right now that said a 1337x game had mining software hidden inside it.
>a 1337x game had mining software hidden inside it
Yeah, I've never trusted that site, it always seemed shady to me. Any website that's ad-ridden and throws 5 pop ups in my face before I even get to the file I want to download is a red flag, it basically tells you that the owner probably wants to make money off a site that is de-facto dependent on people who seed the files for nothing in exchange.
I also don't get why repackers like Fit-Girl get so much credit, why the frick would you want to introduce a third party that can infect your file when you can just download the release? Well, unless you have really shitty internet, then I get it.
Most pirates are stupid tbh. Just download from the source or try to get into a private tracker.
Who would you rather have your data? Some no-name "hacker" on the "dark web" or a huge corporation that can actually frick your life up?

>noooooooooooo how dare you support your favorite creators so they'll make more awesome games for you to enjoy you're supposed to steal from them!
did you use to steal from your mother's purse as a kid?
t. moronic zoomer Black personcattle
I thank you for your service tho, we need moron paying for games too. Not everyone can pirate its ok
Piracy is fine. It’s not stealing.
I pirated BG3, played for 10 hours, realized the writing is shit and the game is massively overhyped. Glad I didn’t waste any money.
It's a statement that the pricing/quality needs work. If you're not willing to be realistic expect your shit to get pirated. Imagine living in a world where you have utterly no entertainment as a shut-in social-reject: You go outside and try to socialize, it doesn't work. You come inside where it's safe? Nothing to do but sleep and stare at the wall. Want entertainment of any kind? Not only is it too expensive, but even if you save up for it, it's not worth that price; But they get away with it. So frick 'em, steal it.
Buy it on steam and play for 2 hours if you want a demo. You don't get to infringe on someone's product because you want to try it for free. There's a plethora of videos to get feel for the gane
2 hours isn't enough to determine if the game is good, especially when you spend 1 hour creating your character.
Why would you, a customer, care if doing something to a company is ethical or not, when the said company is okay doing anti ethical things to their customers?
Piracy of AAA games is always 100% morally okay.
in your world every actor is permitted to act immorally
But they already did act immorally and there's nothing you can do to stop them
Buying their games will only enable them more
>ethical
Nothing is ethical, everything is permitted.
i rest my case
No such thing as digital ""property""
It's more like IP law is essentially a government run cartel.
Does it devalue a commodity in the eyes of paying customers? Does it rob potential sales from the marketplace?
These are the 2 questions.
To become rich, you cannot be ethical. You cannot be unethical to the unethical. Pirate from the rich, support indie devs.
>support indie devs.
Unless they're trannies.
Piracy is ALWAYS okay.
I don't care really if it's ethical or not, however, personally I would say that most vidya companies deserve their games to be pirated. Look at all forced online bullshit, forced online launchers, forced updates, DRM, games as a service crap, psychological manipulations, MXTs, killing games and removing content and so on.
If you want to control data on your PC you essentially have to pirate of buy on GoG these days. Maybe some other places that sell you games without DRM and forced online services.
And I would say that technically abandonware is piracy in legal sense, yet it's one of few good video game preservation methods.

Here the words of Swen on this OP
and why BG3 is on GOG
NOOOOOOOOOO, piracy is supposed to be bad! Delete this, the goyim can't know!
It's always nice to see devs actually own it, piracy is the reason that awareness videogames and shit became so widespread that they resulted in marketable demographics
>piracy is the reason that awareness videogames and shit became so widespread that they resulted in marketable demographics
underages and third worlders aren't marketable demographics
getting shit for free is based but don't moralize it like a homosexual
how do I detect a miner?
how do I get rid of miner?
install gentoo
you pirating a game isn't gonna hurt a company that makes millions it only hurts indie game developers probably, if you really like a game you should consider paying for it after finishing playing it as a way to thank the company or show them that you liked their product thats what im intending to do with bioware since i loved their mass effect trilogy
If Pirates waited at least a month- two months after a game released to release the cracked version, Piracy wouldn't be as much of an issue.
It's this need that pirates have to play everything day 1 that causes the issue.
It's a moral duty.
The industry would be healing if every single one would pirate the games first and buy the games they actually like
Where do you guys go to pirate games these days? All the torrents I find seem to have no seeders.
I mostly just go to fitgirl repacks for new games.
retrowithin for older more rare games.
Bros bros I pirated this shit it's very illegal now I'm very scared and confused bros plz tell me i did good what have you done in my places bros it wasn't my fault officer penis
What the frick are ethics?
>Is piracy ethical?
Yes. Thread over.
Based. But even I'm not pirating this woke homosexual shit. Literal gays and bear sex, the frick? And isn't it like 150 GB????
I waited 2 years to pirate cybershit 2077 and it won't run because I don't let windows update. I imagine this goy shit would be the same anyway so naw I'm good.
Piracy doesn't really hurt the developer that much, that's why No-DRM is more and more of a thing now.
You need to be more than a brainlet to understand the issue more in depth.
People usually pirate games for two reasons, and it's because either:
>they can't afford the game
>they don't care about the game enough to spend X amount of money on it
In both cases, they wouldn't have spent the money anyway. If the game gets cracked, they would simply pirate the game and play it, and if it doesn't, they wouldn't play the game. So simply, the developers doesn't lose the potential customers from piracy, because the potential customer would have most likely simply bought the game. Also pirates usually don't even beat the games, they just try them and dump them a couple of hours later.
That's also why games on steam and other platforms are much cheaper in russia and other poorer regions even if it's not fair for western customers who paid twice the price, because it's better to sell the product at a much lower price and get some profit, than not to sell the game at all.
I pirated BG3 because I wouldn't have bought it for the full price, and I'm probably not even going to beat the game.
>that's why No-DRM is more and more of a thing now.
>he believes the lies
Have fun when piracy dies.
PS: SafetyNet's HW-backed attestation is still uncracked to this day.
>he believes the lies
you can see it with your own eyes you fricking idiot
back in the day every more major release had a drm of some sort, now it's gone in many games
>SafetyNet's HW-backed attestation is still uncracked to this day.
because nobody fricking gives a shit enough to even try?
>nobody fricking gives a shit enough to even try?
Sure thing goy. I'm sure no one would want to steal your bank account.
Pirate it, don't give these trannies any money
Who cares?
>Is piracy ethical?
Not in an ethical society. Do we live in an ethical society?
>Is piracy ethical?
Absolutely. These days marketing budget rival dev budgets, and marketing has zero moral issues about using every single trick in the israelite book. Just look at all the advertising spam here. No, the spam isn't actually meant to get us to buy PRODUCT, it's done to manipulate search engines (look up Search Engine Optimization (SEOI). Every board here has at least 2 archives, so every spam post counts at least triple for trending purposes. If the spam also manages to piss off whatever core fans of PREVIOUS PRODUCT that are here, it's even better because they'll start b***hing about the current iteration of PRODUCT, which just helps the shills SEO efforts. A random drooling election tourist buying something because of the spam is just a random insignificant bonus.
If they can't be assed to provide a reasonable demo, or even betatest their shit for that matter (day1 patches lol), then I'll have to demo it myself.
>giving your money to a company that hires literal trannies
yes, it's very ethical to pirate this shit, same for any company that hires/promotes those "people"
Industry is so bad now that pirating is more ethical than giving them money.
stealing from massive corporations is ALWAYS the correct moral choice
giving money to shitlibs is evil
>pirated BG 3
>bought Diablo 4
You're one stupid motherfricker, OP.
Jesus pirated fish and wine and is the paragon and basis of most of the modern world's morality systems.
Videogames are art
People are being deprived of appreciating art just because they can't afford it
You shouldn't pirate indie games, nobody really cares about AAA or AA games
For me, it's not about being indie or AAA. You see it when devs respect you, and indie devs tend to respect you more because they're closer to their public. They literally cannot exist if they behave like c**ts.
In my case, basic respect is
>free demo
>no dlc, expansions are ok
>fair price/hour
And then you have devs that go the extra mile for you (wube, valve) :
>cross platform
>optimization for low end hardware
>centralized and advanced modding
Bless them.
If u pirate larian studios games then its ok
All of their games start out great but go downhill very quickly
Are people still using fitgirl repacks? I thought everyone knew they had bitcoin miners
dodi repacks and fitgirl are legit this dude is a fed
>dodi repacks and fitgirl are legit this dude is a fed
lol how tf would you know? virustotal?
lmao
so wheres your proof that fit girl and dodi are hiding miners?
I will NOT buy your product. i WILL pirate your product.
>this dude is a fed
Shit, how did you find out?
Baldur's Gate 3 was made by leftists so you did the right thing by not buying it and instead pirating. You shouldn't support subhuman people by any means necessary.
i like money
also all pixels on my screen are fake and don't exist why would i buy fake stuff?
Code is text, all written data should be treated as free speech. Fighting piracy means fighting free speech.
You might be on to something. Why do you think companies are ramping up their efforts against free speech?
dont forget to flush your dns after downloading from fitgirl website
>flush
Why? I use the streets anyway.
Is not giving a frick ethical?
If you are poor yes, if you are rich no
>also this game is being hyped
Translation:
Someone paid money to the shill!§!!!!
I better obey the shills then!!!!!!!1111
