Fucking hell, one would swear useful idiots from other sites came to shit up the place in recent times.
I buy my games, haven't pirated anything in a long time, know what I think about pirates? Nothing, don't care if someone pirates something I bought, neither should you.
If a company is concerned about pirating, let them deal with it. Don't be a fucking idiot tool, doing the job of a company because you exchanged money for a product.
You owe them nothing. Pathetic, fanboys are the biggest retards around, go back to one of those other sites we're not aloud to mention.

If you care about video games and want them to stick around, do your part and buy the shit you play.
If you boycot a company because you disagree with their leaders or whatever the fuck else, don't play their games. If you play their games, it means you consider them good enough to spend your time on. Therefore, it's also worth your money.
See, the world is not perfect. Being autistic about single entities in a larger company will net you nothing but grief.

We're not children here. If you don't have any income at all and you spend your time on /v/, please consider just doing anything else. It's good for you.

Piracy has always been second nature to me since as a kid basically every game on the xbox hueg I got from my uncles was burned on CD

Basically only PC games I "own" are physical stuff I got for free and games neckbeards bought for me on steam because being a pretty grill rocks

Why? I pay for console games because they are optimized and made with love without having to worry about whether or not it happens to bug out because of my GPU or will it keep crashing

Only a true cuckold pays for digital PC games, especially older games because 99.9% of the time the money isnt going to the original devs

There is no value in me being a fanboy promoting the potential sales of a game, or relishing that someone that dind't play it for free, that's what marketing departments are for, your efforts add nothing and produce nothing.

They get updates. Usually within the hour of the update going live if it's a popular game. There's honestly no reason not to pirate games from GOG. You get the same thing whether you buy it or pirate it. And if you know how to find good quality torrents, there's no reason not to pirate other games either. I have a terabyte of carefully selected games located on my external hard drive. Ready to be installed whenever I want to play them.

>>342508201
Yeah fag, stop paying the people making the games, because that won't end poorly. Go back to sucking some weed tea through a hippy's dirty sock.

>>342514893
exactly you only see popular games get updates that are seeded but if its an obcure or 3+ year old game youll be stuck playing the broken v1.0

with some games you just have to say "fuk it im just gunna buy this shit"

but its nice to have both options

>>

You'd be surprised how many devs make way more during a sale than they do for the rest of the year even at shit like 90% off.
What's better?
1,000 people buy your game for $10?
or
50,000 people buy your game for $1?
>>
Piracy itself is harmless, but people who buy games only when they're always online/haven't been cracked yet/are on a not-yet-cracked game console/etc. while pirating everything else are cancer. They're actively paying companies to prioritize copy-protection over game content.

>>342516420
I normally don't buy games even at 90% off if I'm not gonna play them. I work offshore a lot so I'm lucky to be able to afford the games I play at release.
I'm just saying that when you have a 90% sale, a lot of people who previously weren't even slightly interested in your game might give it a go. In fact, it's really good if you're making a franchise.
