Is one person pirating a game the same as another one person

Is one person pirating a game the same as another one person deciding to not buy the game? If two people wait for a game to go on sale so it becomes half price, is that the same as one person pirating the game?

No, because those two people weren't going to buy the game at full price anyway. Selling the game at half off isn't a loss of thirty dollars each, it's a gain of thirty dollars each from people who would have never bought the game at full price.

Piracy is the same way. I genuinely believe that if somebody's REALLY interested in playing a video game (multiplayer or not), then they'll pay the full price for it. I'm buying the new Deus Ex full price, bought DSIII+Season Pass full price, and I'll buy more games full price as well. I pirated Enter the Gungeon, didn't like it, and saved myself fifteen dollars. TW3, which at first pirate I didn't like, I pirated again and loved it so much I bought the game+expansion pass on sale. That wouldn't have happened unless I pirated the game.

pirating doesn't mean you'd buy the game if you couldn't pirate, however it greatly increases the chances that you would.
demos should be a standard.

also,

buying a game at a reduced price still means the devs see some sales.
however buying used is equal to pirating. no one sees money there except gamestop.

The issue with piracy is that there will never be a way to prove or disprove a pirated copy of a game as being a lost sale, or someone who would have never bought it.

It is thus more exploitable on behalf of the publishers to flat out claim all pirates are lost sales.

There is actually, if any one part of the body is grotesquely out of proportion with the rest of it it makes the person look like a freak. There are of course plenty of weirdos out there who are into all kinds of mishapenness - guys who are into fat chicks, cripples, midgets, whatever.

everything i pirated i either already owned from that company or i put money on that company already, with exception of a ton of indie games.
but indie games i loved and wanted to continue to play, i bought, like Terraria and Prison Architect.
not pirating all the Sims expacs should be a crime. no one knew back in 1998 or whatever when The Sims came out that it was going to mark the beginning of DLC and DRM.
it's like okay, i got Sims 1, i got the birthday xpac, okay i got medival, okay i got Sims 2... okay they keep wanting me to buy this shit and it just never ever ended. do they think the average gamer is rich or something? you better really stretch your game time out with Maxis.

All of those things are corporate influenced now. You cant even trust most streamers these days because they get paid to shill. Regardless, watching or having someone tell you a game is good does not work out too well because there are so many things that go into peoples minds of what makes a game good beyond graphics, story, etc. You need to actually hold the controller and play it rather then listen to corporate shills give you your opinion predominantly

Even a yacht? What are you doing here?
>>
>>338164113
Christ. Alright, since I know you're probably genuinely clueless on how basic economics works I'll explain it.

A company exists to make money. To do so they create an unwritten pact with consumers. That pact is to release a product at a price both can agree on. For the business this is easy. Profit. For the consumer it hedges heavily on perception. A $15 iPhone sells for $600+ because consumers have agreed mentally that the benefits of owning one are worth that price. It goes beyond money to us though. We unconsciously deliberate things like how many hours we have to work to buy it, how long it lasts, looks, quality, etc.

When something goes on sale it is usually still at a profit, just reduced. I'm not going to get into economies of scale but basically the hope is not to drive profits at the samelevel but to increase them by selling a lot more.

Then you have inventory. Just sitting on product that doesn't sell loses money. You are paying for the warehouse, server space, whatever. For digital keys it's complex but there is money lost when you don't sell out. So companies cut prices, sometimes selling at a loss, to reduce inventory. If you spend $50 a month storing and sell at a $10 loss, you're losing $10, not $50. Waaaay more complicated than that but go with it.

And at the end of the day, pirating loses money for the company. Not having a physical product doesn't matter. If you steal internet use, it costs the ISP. If you made your own sandwich at a restaurant, it costs them money (by having a cook paid that isn't working).

Pirating games means the manhours put in to create the game are not reimbursed equally. Since you can't raise the price, it gets passed on to others. Stores holding copies, publishers, and so on.

Pirate if you want but somebody will always pay and it is always the lowest level. Pirating in the long run fucks teenagers working at Gamestop more than say EA or Activision.

Yes, but if the game was truly ruined for you you would send start and email campaign and sit the game out on principle.

>>338175552
>censorship doesn't detract enough from the quality yet
It does though. If you'd stop shilling, you'd admit it too. But I guess you're just trying to trivialize everything with "muh _____", which can be done in your case as well.

And I sent emails, they never reply with any concrete response. I've done it for XCX and I concluded they don't actually care. Be that as it is, I guess I'll just pirate their games and teach others to do the same, since hey, they don't care
>>
>>338175552
>>338176206
Cont'd

And why sit it out when I can have it patched and play it for free? I am a consumer and I reach for the best product. If they won't cater to me, then I'll go to those who will. And if they don't charge me? Well, I won't complain
>>
>>338176206
Or you could just admit to yourself that you still want to play the game no matter what they do. Price does not create demand, and having a demand for the game at $0 still shows that players like the game.
The only way to truly "stick it to the publishers" is not to play.
But please, continue trying to rationalize to yourself. I'm sure censorfags are truly just and don't look for an excuse for free games.
>>
>>338176854
I play the patched game in the case of FE: Fates, Bravely Default and Second. I still haven't touched XCX since they removed the breast slider and I doubt I will till they either put it back, or someone else does and perfects hacking the WiiU. So yeah, I won't play censorshit, but I will if it is no longer censored.
>>
>>338176854
And why don't you admit that you're just trying to suck more corporate cock, and they could send a group of burly black men to fuck your spouse till she turns into post Golden Age arc Casca, and you'd still praise them.
>>
>>338177427
So you'll still play the game even if it got censored. That's literally all the industry sees. They don't care if you modded it. They just care that you played a copy of the localized version.
>>338177628
I'm not here to shill. I'm here to get people to admit that piracy is all about free games.

No, I'll pay to play it if it isn't censored, or if it gets uncensored. I do not care about the industry, I care about me, and I have bought many games from before they went censor happy on their games and only started doing it after when localized FE:Fates became what it is now, and I will continue to do it because i feel I get a better product without paying than by actually paying for it.

Also if you're going to keep ignoring my main point, I might as well stop replying to you.
