Not really. I pirate troony western games like Cyberpunk and some indie shit. But I always spend my hard earned money on quality Japanese products. And maybe some gacha on the side if I feel like it
In absolute terms there's more people pirating than ever. It's just that all the normalcattle that ina perfect world would be offline in meatspace has been using the internet since 2007 so it seems like the average zoomoid is dumber.
>The real problem is that piracy is actually dying.
True. There are less and less people out there putting in the work, and newer generations simply don't care so it will eventually phase out and they'll win.
Honestly I understand, even if it pains me.
Cracking denuvo must be at least decently hard and definitively time-consuming. Someone that can do both could definitively go for something better than to risk bankruptcy or jail.
It does screw me, and everyone, in the long run, but I can understand.
Microsoft could easily win by forcing Squeenix and Sega to gamepass day 1.

Yeah. If I have to download it either way, may was well do it without payment.
At least pirating skips all the inept anti-pirate crap.

Piracy was something people still used but it was less known outside of certain circles.

Pirates are obnoxious and indulge in self felatio as well as make everyone else on this board and elsewhere acknowledge it. Games have higher budgets than ever before, yet some developers can barely deliver a finished product, plus all the gacha shit.
Its worse on Ganker and similar boards where these fricks scream for "mega" links all day when there are so many resources for pirating movies and TV out there that you can have it automated in 5 minutes. Either learn to pirate or don't do it, being a pirating secondary is moronic.
it's especially fun to argue with people who say that buying vidya is moral while at the same time they have their steam account set to turkey or agentina to buy them for dirt cheap or won't buy them till it's on sale for less than $5
if "supporting the devs" is the right thing to do you might as well buy their games at full price

Piracy really is a service issue
What's wrong with buying games? I have money
>buying shit
>not just stealing it
I don't buy my games, and I have even more money.
Not really. I pirate troony western games like Cyberpunk and some indie shit. But I always spend my hard earned money on quality Japanese products. And maybe some gacha on the side if I feel like it
why do you even play western brainwashing troony shit? i wouldn't even touch that shit those homosexuals paid me to play
I pirated stuff since i was 8 tho
>paying for something that's free
Literally no clue why people do it
>not supporting developers of games you like
You're the cancer killing video games.
Sure I am
>noooo you're the problem for not paying into the problem
okay moron
>You're the cancer killing video games.
Good
Good I want the game industry to crash and burn I have a back log 🙂
Gigachad me pirating everything since age 12
it is more convenient if less people pirate
I pirate literally everything on PC, but if I want to play something on the couch I'll purchase it on console.
I only pirate single player games.
but there hasn't been any good multiplayer games since TFC? well, blacklight: retribution was ok until they fricked everything up and killed the game

>people
You mean thirdies?
Humans don't pay for streaming services so, regretfully, yes, they are people.
The real problem is that piracy is actually dying.
If someone were to crack denuvo without the bullshit, anti-piracy homosexuals would be btfo
>The real problem is that piracy is actually dying.

>less and less people
"Fewer," you twat. Don't frick up my language, mutt.
Apologies, I've been drinking since 2pm, and I'm actually a British c**t.

Hmmm I wonder if there is a correlation.
zoomer genocide when?
I got a cease & desist from my ISP and threats of legal action from the game publisher in the mail.
>it was Cyberpiss 2077 go figure rofl

People today can't even reverse image search to find sources, it's honestly pathetic.
non whites be like

This kills the piratecuck
you guys have been saying this for 2 years now but I'm still waiting
Zoomers are really moronic
Nerds pirated stuff and they aren't the majority on the internet anymore
But le steam fixed le problem
Modern Ganker is full of people who are younger than pepe
The entire internet is, I don't know why I'm still here. Habit? Depression?
Addiction
Addiction to what?
I pirate every game. Then, if I enjoy it, I buy it.
The only games I’ve bought legitimately were Titanfall 2 and Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and 5
People today can't figure out hot a torrent works lmao
I'm almost 40. Been here for 16 years. I've been anti-piracy for almost half my life. Sorry I'm not an edgy teen anymore.
Why didn't you exodus to 8chn back in 2014 and then return when it was federated?
Not that guy, but this place is enough glow for me. 8 is pretty much a honeypot.
