Did you ever felt guilty pirating a game?
>>
>>337026289
Star ruler 2 is the only one I have ever felt guilty about. Now the dev went out of business and we will never get a game like it.
>>
>>337026289
only good ones.
>>
No. Activision shouldn't be getting any money.
Also when are we getting new info on the new VtM game?
>>
no because if it's good I buy it and if it's not I don't give a shit

I only pirate EA or Ubisoft games, so no, never.

>>
>>337026289
I only pirate old games that couldn't possibly be generating any real revenue for the creators anymore.

For example, newest game I've pirated is Vampire Bloodlines, and that shit is like 12 years old now.
>>
why would I?

People have been pirating software for years, I highly doubt some fucker felt bad about copying some paper full of holes for early software, or copying games onto a blank tape, floppy, or disc

why do you care OP?
>>
>>337026289
>Did you ever felt guilty pirating a game?
No.If i am pirating a game it means that i am trying it out or i simply can't afford it right now.

I like owning games.
>>
>>337026289
No, because if a game is good I usually buy it afterwards.
>>
>>337026289
not VTMB, that's for sure

why the fuck would I give shekels to activision?
>>
>>337026289
after seeing the absurd prices of used GC games? Fuck no. It'd be nice to own them, but i'm not about to drop $100 on one gamecube game i'm unsure of the quality of.
>>
>>337026289
no
i was listening to venture bros commentary on an ep and they mentioned that if you got this from a bootleg or off the internet that they'd be bummed
and i just didn't care
>>
>>337026289
The witcher 2 after i beat it, bought it later on though.
>>
If I worked at EA, I would be constantly excepting to wake up in some sort of death contraption.

Never, not even for a minute fraction. I have only pirated games of companies that screwed me out of franchises that I used to buy. If I really want a game, I buy it day 1. If I want it but don't want to buy it day 1, I always wait for sales. I'm not a faggot nor an autist that can't wait 6months to a year for the price drop.

However, if I've been buying games in the series, then you put extra drm bullshit and paywalls, then I'm going to pirate it. Don't put anything between me, and giving you money for the product. My part of the involvement is to you give YOU the money YOU deem is appropriate to obtain the product. Taking my money and giving me what I paid for, it's so fucking simple. No extra bullshit included; no DRM, no account system, no always online, no heavy moderation to keep you from your purchase, no paywalls to get the product in installments, NONE OF THAT.

If I buy it, it should be mine to do with as I wish, end of discussion.
>>
Why would I?

Prices are not adjusted accordingly to each country's living standards and average paycheck.

I mean, I'm from the Balkans, Serbia to be specific, and the average paycheck is around 300 euros, and that's on the generous side of things. A new game at release more often than not tends to cost 60 euros. So why would I spend a fifth of a paycheck on one video game alone?

In the US of A, you can't live by yourself on $11/hr despite the national minimum wage being $7.25. I'm at $16 and I feel pretty poor. God Emperor Trump will make things better when he ascends to the throne.
>>
>>337026289
Some games that I genuinely wanted to play.
Like DX:HR.
>>
in 20 years, not once
>>
>>337036218
The internet hasn't been out for 20 years.
>>
>>337035924
c'mon in the case of HR most people expected it to be shit, until it leaked, and holy shit, that probably WAS done on purpose by the devs cause it fucking worked and i pre-ordered the game and loved it.
>>
>>337036282
>not waiting a gazillion hours on dial-up connection to download Thief 2 while playing Commandos

that was if windows didn't fucking bsod every hour
>>
>>337036282
Yes it has.

>>337036324
Wasn't that picky in 2011 about games. It was about the time when I just came here from /b/.

So I just really like the setting and premise for it. Also, I can't recall knowing about the leak back then, and even if I did, I didn't care much.
>>
>>337036805
dayum son, as much as it was blasted even by me on how the game was going to be shit, most of /v/ loved it as well

that leak was the best thing that ever happened to DX HR

shit, its been almost 10 years since i've been around
>>
only tropico, I spent so many hours on the game
>>
>>337027142

I bought the entire dow collection just for all the hours I've dumped into it

>>
>>337026289
Jesus fucking christ, you faggots really feel sorry for pirating a game?

I only buy games with multi-player that interests me. If it's sp only, fuck it, I'm downloading it, I got better things to spend my money on than with toys.

>you can't live by yourself on 11/hr

yes you can, you just mean you can't live the life you want to live

>>337026289
yeah, undertale, so I bought it after my neutral run so I could play the other aspects of it in a paid version

Only once.

I enjoyed Dark Souls so much I bought a copy for online. Then the disc scratched up within like 2 weeks
>>
>>337040815
why do you take bad care of your things
>>
>>337026289
I feel guilty of not having the cash to support the companies i like, but when i download shit i don't feel any kind of remorse.
>>
A couple kickstarted games off GoG that have that "This game is possible thanks to your support!" splash screen.
Although I rarely pirate things anymorw nowdays, except things I cannot easily acquire legitimately. Like the Command & Conquer Collection.
>>
>>337026289
Yes, back in the days when Steam had no security it was possible to use a tool to download and play all valve's games online for nothing.

Valve banned me eventually so I guess they got their own back.
>>
I've felt guilty more often being duped into wasting money on a buggy game through false advertising than pirating a game.
>>
I only buy games I like, and I don't like any game. There's always something stupid and shitty about them.

Not like I feel compelled to buy it, but damn, I feel like that's the most expensive single game I've ever seen. To put things into perspective, a couple years ago one could buy an AAA $60 release for about R$120 or so at launch.
>>
>>337043547
Thats just Bethesda being jews. Others AAA games are following the ~120.
>>
>>337026289
The only one I came close to feeling guilty was persona 3 and 4, even though I didn't have the consoles to play it. I will buy persona 5 though.

>>
No, but I've certainly felt guilty about spending $60 on a game only to be severely disappointed by it (I'm looking at you, Dragon Age 2). A lot of games I've bough, I'll play for a couple of hours and never play again, making me feel like shit for wasting my hard earned money on it.
>>
>>337026289
Very rarely do I feel bad about pirating a game, but I did feel extremely shitty about doing it with Bravely Second.
The game was amazing and I pirated it for a shitty reason like censorship (barely anything was changed).

I'm still debating if I should buy it or not.
