How does /v/ justify piracy?
I don't like paying for things.
idgaf nigguh
There is no need to.
no demo no buyo
Fuck you I do what I want.
Nothing to justify. It's a victimless crime
>justifying piracy
Why? Do you think people who pirate games have some kind of guilty conscience that needs to be soothed?
>>322854619
Don't need to. Pay when I want, don't when I don't.
A more interesting question would be how does /v/ justify purchasing products from companies known for fucking over the consumer.
>>322854420
>>322854554
These two.
I often buy the games I pirate if I enjoy them.
>pirate games
>spend my EBT on soda and frozen pizza
>sell my prescriptions and upgrade my computer
suck my cock
>>322854226
I couldn't care less if someone is a piratefag but reading his reactions when someone tell them that they are doing something illegal is hillarious.
They often are a bunch if insecure brats trying to justify his actions.
I mean sometimes I also pirate some games only on PC but at least I know I'm doing illegal shit and don't try to make dumb excuses with muh corporation dicks and muh freedumsss
Copyright directly contributes to the erasure of orphan works.
>>322854226
I won't get caught and I can play all the video games for free.
>>322854226
being poor, rationally self interested, and not retarded?
>>322854226
What are you trying to get out of making this thread?
>>322854770
What are your meds for?
I gamestop rent more than I pirate.
>>322855082
xanax for anxiety and vyvanse for adhd
>>322854738
same here, if I really like the games I don't finish them and buy them later
also remember, it's okay to pirate konami's games
>>322854226
>want something
>either overpriced for its content or cant get it by national means
I rarely pirate but when I do I do it for a reason.
>>322854226
Why would I justify it? I can get video games, movies and TV shows for free without any repercussions.
Why don't you?
>Store sells new game
>Normie 1 buys it for $60
>Normie 1 beats it, sells it back for $15 store credit
>Store sells it as a used game for $55
>Normie 2 buys it
>Normie 2 beats it, sells it back for $10 store credit
>Store sells it again for $55
>Doesn't give devs a dime for used purchases
Why can't I give devs the middle finger too?
If you're a pussy who can't handle pirating games you should just sign up for a rental service like Gamefly.
>>322855174
>Mixing benzos and adhd meds
LOL you're probably fucked up, senpai. You're probably fucked using xanax alone.
>>322855315
But I have Gamefly for console games
I only pirate if the publisher of the game is gone. If I don't like a company I don't play their games and if I do like a company I pay them because I like their work. Simple as that.
it's free
>>322854226
because intellectual property is a bullshit construct
>>322855529
>he plays games based on company and not the game
literally why
>>322855912
>He's got no sense of loyalty
Sure is traitor in here tonight.
Don't give me a demo I'll take a demo.
You be anti-consumer, I'll be anti-supplier.
I can't afford them, and i can access them
>>322854226
dont care
3D printer car pirating when?
>>322854226
There's no need to. Do you also attempt to "justify" J-walking?
The only thing I've ever pirated was mass effect 2 and 3 but that was after buying them and seeing how steep those dlc prices were.
>>322854226
If you dont want to sell it in a place I live, ill find someone/someplace that will
I don't need to justify because I don't pirate anymore. I haven't pirated anything for a couple years now, though I used to pirate like crazy when I didn't have a job.
I don't like being caught on camera so I avoid stores at all costs or wear a disguise when going out.
>>322855312
>selling games
why? Why would you ever get rid of your games?
The fact that region lock and censorship are still occurring.
>>322856184
>being a corporate drone
What a pathetic existence.
>>322854226
I don't. 3rd-worlder scum here.
>game have great multiplayer
Buy.
>game have shitty multiplayer or only single player
Pirate.
>>322854738
>>322855194
no you don't.
Stop lieing.
A True artist doesnt charge for his art.
And i dont buy art from untrue artists.
>>322854226
I'm poor and I want free shit.
Besides, I'm doing companies a favor when I pirate because I'm helping them find holes in their financial defenses
i like getting things for free. i dont like paying for things.
>>322861195
You're trying too hard
i only emulate games that are 20 years old, usually delete them once I'm done, and then leave it be. I've never really touched a modern release, because even if I hate the dev, I feel like it's sinking to their level to take their game without paying, and then play it. I dunno, it makes me feel like a hypocrite.
>I pirate the game
>play it all the way through
>"I didn't like it, no money lol".
However, i think it's justified if this happens.
>try it out
>game runs terrible, can't even get past the first stage
>uninstall
THANKFULLY, customers are getting their rights once more, and we're allowed to fully refund a game if we wrongly or accidentally bought it. So if I buy a game and end up hating it, it goes right back to the dev. Not too shabby.
>>322861497
>>322854226
with letters of marque
>>322854226
The only time that pirating a game is ever justified is if you're completely unable to obtain the game legitimately in your region.
Game is really old and not sold in stores anymore.
The sheer amount of media that I wish to consume far outstrips my ability to purchase said media. Believe me, if I had the money I wouldn't bother with emulation or torrents or any of this shit.
TL;DR Because I'm a poorfag.
I want to play video games and don't have much money
Why would I need to?
I know it's bad, but who fucking cares. I just do it anyway. I'd stop coming to this shithole if I stopped doing bad things too.
Primarily as a protest against the lack of consumer rights in the video game industry, especially in the digital sales space. Any EULA that tells me I'm just renting a game and that they can ban me at any time and that puts restrictions on my ability to resell it to whomever I choose can choke on my dick. Game developers are not entitled to special privileges.
>>322854679
this
+ in my country it is actually in a legal grayzone
you are not the one that has to care from where you get your stuff from.
here only the uploader is responsible.
I just see it as, I don't have the money to be buying the games I want to play, so I think of it this way:
If I didn't pirate, I couldn't buy the game anyway, and if I didn't pirate, I'd miss out on a lot of what I love doing.
For me at least, I don't think I'm personally harming the industry, although pirating as a whole probably does. I still buy a lot of games I could easily pirate, if I have the money for them.
By not caring at all
>>322854226
They stopped making demos.
>>322854226
I don't have to justify I just pirate and don't give a fuck.
>>322854226
>justify
To whom?
To myself? No need. I'd be comfortable with whatever I'd say, so I might as well skip the bs and be comfortable with my actions anyway.
To others? Hahaha those anti-racist woman-respecting GLBT-tolerant shitnuggets can go fuck themselves.
>>322854226
Because there's nothing to justify.
Because it's not illegal.
Because my country has better things to do then hunting people who torrent shitty AAA games.
>>322854226
It's neither illegal nor immoral here.
>>322854226
>wanna pirate just cause 3
>nobody has any fucking cracks for it
>i know if i spend 50 bucks on it i'll regret it
>>322854226
I justify my piracy by making games and not whining like a cheesy fuck when other people decide to steal them from me. In most cases, people who pirate a piece of content wouldn't have paid for it if no pirated option were available. In those cases, it's an extra distribution channel that generates new viewers and word-of-mouth for free.
Piracy is an inevitability that can be ignored, combated (unsuccessfully), or embraced. Compare Metallica (threatens lawsuits against fans) to Nine Inch Nails (shifts focus to making money through live shows and merch, which can't be downloaded).
Game piracy will work like music piracy eventually - it'll be so easy to steal games that too few will continue to pay for them, and then the prevailing model will have to switch to something like bulk subscriptions (like Netflix or Spotify), or maybe something else. The games industry will continue finding new ways to monetize itself.
The suits are just mad because they're comparing real earnings to hypothetical earnings.
Yes, fuck those Somalians!
>>322856785
store credit obviously. Did you not read the greentext dipshit?

>Profit and maybe have more games then SLEVEN
They completely fucked the game up with a patch and won't let me play the old version legally
Or
It's a pain in the ass to buy legally
I support the industry as much as it will let me
>>322854226
because wasting money on vidya is stupid
there are more important things in life to waste money on
>>322867985
LIKE BEING A WAGESLAVE : ^ )
>>322868045
sometimes you have to start off as a wagecuck, anon
> barely anybody here is old enough to remember shareware
Piracy used to be the norm, y'know. You'd get games for free and send the devs a check if you enjoyed it.
>>322861195
You're pathetic
>>322868286
Shareware was just demos though. You never got the full version
>>322854226
>can't try before buy
It's just that easy
>>322854226
PC master race
>>322868574
>send the devs a check if you enjoyed it
>they send you a serial to unlock the full version
You obviously don't remember shareware
>>322854226
I don't
>>322869832
How is that even remotely the same as piracy
>>322854226
I only pirate games that get digital releases. Capitalism in action. Piracy is cheaper than paying for the same product, so buying it would make me a bad consumer.
>>322868096
Not in my lifetime I don't.
theres no point in pirating anymore. the AAA games lately are such buggy messes that pirates just cant keep up with the patches released.
>Salary is 250 eur a month
>game still costs 60 eur
I am sorry but i have all the fucking rights to pirate until the prices for games are distributed in countries to average wage.
>>322861976
What about those who already bought a copy of something, but then, something happened to their copy of it for reasons beyond their control (horrible accidents, someone stupid in their family wrecking their stuff, etc)? And then they use piracy to get it back.
Really, they're only getting back what they've paid for
>>322870359
>>322869820
>he doesn't pirate on consoles
wew
If you pirate because "lol i dont need to pay because fuck you" then die in a hole. If you pirate to """demo""" and end up playing the game all the way and never pay for it, go consider suicide now. Acceptable pirating is tech demo-ing it and making sure the product isnt broken.
>>322854226
A lot of devs are just fucking lazy and jewish these days, and I refuse to pay for their shit.
>>322855374
But he's selling them..
I Just pirate a game when the game is not in my lenguage. As a protest, i dont buy a game that isnt translated
>>322870549
Gaming is a hobby, not a right. Just because you can't afford it it doesn't make it justified.
>>322870716
>>322870554
This is particularly the case of games where the original DRM or online service is defunct.
>>322871112
I'm not a normie, so I can't into other hobbies.
Also no moni
Abandonware, and this applies to more than games. It is important to preserve and make available works that risk becoming lost.
>>322854226
I pay for JRPG panty quest games like Moe Chronicles and Trillion.
I pirate AAA shit like Fallout 4.
I justify it with supporting the industry I believe has a good future.
Why do we have the same threads every fucking day, OP?
>>322870871
:^) I will pirate as much as I like, thank you for paying the devs to keep them making shit for me.
>>322854226
If i buy the game once and want to play it again after lending out my copy, trading it in, just want to play it on pc or whatever. i'm not paying for it again. I'm not paying for the same game twice
>>322854226
You don't
>>322870871
An entire industry built on trying to force people to donate money. wow
>>322854226
I don't understand how people can pirate and at the same time complain about the industry for the way it turned out.
Normalfags are the only ones left who don't pirate and look at what we have now
>>322855374
>You're probably fucked using xanax alone.
literally retarded: the post.
>>322854226
why do i need to justify anything? do you think i give a shit?
>>322854226
i'm poor and don't have a job
>>322871112
Not him but if companies were charging 1/4th of my countries average wage for a single game I'd pirate all my shit too. No amount of 'it's not your right' would convince me otherwise
I believe I should get everything I want for free.
>>322872129
What a stupid thing to say. Even if every pirate wasn't a normalfag, and didn't pirate, they still wouldn't match normalfag numbers buying CoD every year
>>322872129
Because piracy has fuckall to do with the status of the industry, companies will always chase after normies and the mass market if they can regardless if everyone on /v/ pirates or not.
>>322854226
It's no different from renting or buying used (except you don't give money to a shitty company like gamestop)
Games don't have demos anymore, reviewers are fucking useless and bullshots are the norm. I'm not paying for something I haven't seen for myself yet
Buying from companies that support anticonsumer or antideveloper practices makes the industry worse
I buy games I enjoy. I never pay for dlc unless it's something equel to an expansion pack.
>>322872129
Must be great to shut your brain off and post whatever idiocy you think of isn't it?
>>322872614
Niche games are dead on everything other than the Vita because of rampant piracy.
There are some exceptions tho
>>322872663
Nice source there
>>322872720
PS4 and Xbone are full dudebro and Wii U is full Nintenbabby.
Use your eyes, those niggas know what sells for normalfags
>>322855058
This nigga gets it.
I very rarely pirate games though unless I intend to emulate, and 90% of what I emulate is some shit I already physically paid for at one point in my life already. Why the fuck would I buy something twice?
>>322872663
I have no idea which niche games you're referring to. I see good sales for the ones that are actually good all around.
>>322872663
>Niche games don't sell because muh piracy
>meanwhile psp moved more software than the vita ever could
And if you don't believe me, check the sales data yourself
i want free games
i don't delude myself with region locking, censorship, no jap dub etc. bullshit
>>322872816
Piracy has little to no affect on what sells to normalfags, and how many of them there are
>>322854226
If it's a game too old or too rare that I can't buy a physical copy, or if it's a developer that I dislike, but I decide to give their game a shot so that I can give fair criticism.
>>322872663
You mean except that there's tons of niche games being released on PC
>>322854226
Pretty simple really. Piracy isn't stealing, thus it isn't against the law as you don't get revenue for it, you are just downloading a copy of a product someone purchased and decided to share.
/Thread
>>322854226
Can I purchase it legally for a reasonable price? I'm not spending extraordinary amounts of money on a single game. If publishers can't get off their asses, that's their problem.
>>322872845
>Why the fuck would I buy something twice?
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT BUYING THE ACTUAL PRODUCT YOU'RE BUYING A LICENSE TO PLAY THE PRODUCT ON THE PLATFORM YOU PAID FOR YOU'RE NOT ENTITLED TO THE CONTENT ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS YOU OWN UNLESS YOU BUY ALL THE LICENSES FOR THOSE PLATFORMS REEEEE
There's no way I'd pay for the game at the current price without knowing for a fact it's the best game ever made, so they haven't lost a sale.
If the game is decent I'll want to talk about it, giving them free advertising.
If the game is decent I'll probably buy it on sale a year later.
>>322854226
Shitty video games don't deserve a dime. WTF is wrong with you.
Aww man I really want to engage in a dialogue regarding piracy and how it's defined and viewed but since all the popular 4chan boards are copybotted to sheeky forum instead of actually being deleted this is more than likely a honeypot to catch anyone stupid to admitting to something that could hold up in copyright court of law. Feels bad man. I have this big ass post with metaphors and links to various published material on the subject. Oh well into the trash.
>>322854226
i buy good games
i pirate "maybe" games and then buy them if they are any good
if the game is bad, i uninstal and never buy
thats the only way for me to actualy check if a game im buying is worth the money, im not going to spend 100$ on a fucking shitty ubishit rushed bugged crappy game just to not play it because its shit.
If gamedevs released demos like they used to, or let people put real, unpaid reviews of their games before the release. Then i wouldnt need to pirate.
>>322872845
>Why the fuck would I buy something twice?
Online multiplayerI'm not justifying it, I'm just giving out a reason people would reluctantly do it. I can't play SF4 without upgrading to ultra.
>>322873035
> Piracy isn't stealing,
True
> thus it isn't against the law as you don't get revenue for it
False. People have already been prosecuted and fined by piracy.
>>322854226
I don't. I pirate and I don't give a shit what others think about it. I do it because I want to
>>322874294
I don't give a fuck senpai
>>322854226
Who says I got to justify shit? I'm still gonna do it.
>>322873836
>but since all the popular 4chan boards are copybotted to sheeky forum instead of actually being deleted
Sheeky forums and the various archives only copy the data available to normal users. IP adresses, or any browser fingerprint that could be used to track you won't be copied.
If you're going to be paranoid, at least stop being a retard.
>>322873978
>i buy good games
>i pirate "maybe" games and then buy them if they are any good
>if the game is bad, i uninstal and never buy
+ ofc multiplayer games
and thanks fuck pirating is a grey area here
>>322864709
be patient senpai
don't let the jews get your sheckles
>>322854226
Having no money as a student + it's legal in my country so back thoughts
Been pirating on every console and handheld (except SNES) I've ever owned since PS1. Why stop now?
PS1, PS2, PSP, 360
You'd be an idiot to pay for something you can get for free and get away with. The only justification for buying is if there's no crack, you really really liked it, or there's multiplayer
>>322855662
So let's say you make the best video game ever
But just before it's released, a faggot comes and steals your idea, claiming it was his all along. Then he goes on to make millions with your idea.
How would you feel?
>>322854226
Reviewers are shit and you can't trust them. Companies don't make demos anymore. Piracy is the only way to not get scammed.
Since I pirate, I'll be the judge of the game's price. If it's good I'll buy it straight away, if it's mediocre but I still like it I'll wait for a sale and if it's shit tough luck for them, they didn't manage to scam me.
>>322875884
>a faggot comes and steals your idea, claiming it was his all along. Then he goes on to make millions with your idea
That's not how piracy work.
>buy game
>you don't know how it is because no demos anymore
>it's shit
>you drop it instantly
>you paid the dev for shit
That's why I pirate most of the time before I buy.
And yes, I buy the games when I like them.
By being russian.
If anyone uses their limited time on a game, the content creator wins, not loses. Had the piracy been impossible, most likely i'd rather read books, rather than buy every game i was mildly interested in.
Only greedy publishers and starving indies care about punishing pirates.
The first group will survive anyway, the second won't. So I pay for the indie games i really like.
>>322876005
He wasn't talking about piracy, he was talking about intellectual property.
When I have a legit copy of the game in my hands with the case and product key, but the games drm still kicks me in the balls is pretty good justification for me. Thanks EA
morality is a social construct
following unenforceable laws that won't impact anyone you will ever know or meet for any other reason than "I don't want to" is pretty fucking silly desu senpai
>>322854226
By believing I'm a bad person
if a guy in the street offered you a video game that he bought would you be a bad person if you accept?
same shit online, the first person to upload the game is the person that paid for it , they are offering you his game for free :^)
Modern games don't deserve money except for popular indie games.
>>322876808
I only pirate Western games.
>>322854226
Piracy only takes away their ability to sell me something- and that was mine in the first place
It's like going past a busker in the street and not dropping money in his pot, except replace "busker" with "Electronic Arts/Bethesda"
I've only ever personally pirated 1 thing, and do not see the problem with it
>>322873316
>>322855312
>>322871212
>>322872416
Found the redditors.
Is it not so that thou art new?
>>322873035
It is against the law in most first world countries. I agree with you that it's not wrong and shouldn't be illegal tho. Imho even selling copies shouldn't be illegal, the whole concept of intelectual property seems flawed to me, you can copy ideas the same way you can copy games without stealing them.
I get thing for free
>>322872663
>some exceptions
When was the last time you've been on steam? There is a metric fuckton of niche games on PC a great number of them are one steam.
Without it I wouldn't be able to play video games at all.
Sometimes if I end up really liking a game after pirating, I'll buy it.
>>322854619
>''Hey Tom check out this new tire I made!''
>Oh hey Brian that's real cool man
>''Yea I was thinking of selling them to people and then making more tires for cars, but with better ideas!''
>Tom sneaks into the back entrance of Brians place that only he knows about
>But pretty soon people start finding out about it and after a while nobody wants to buy Brians tires because they already have them for free thus Brian goes out of business
IT'S STEALING. FUCKING STEALING.
>>322854226
I'm going to steal your shit, but don't worry, I'll tell other people that your shit is awesome, so they can also steal it from you.
I'm helping
>>322875849
So not only does the pirate judge a game without any bias, due to them getting it for free and not having to evaluate whether or not it was worth the money instead of it actually being fun, but they also spread the word of its quality?
Golly, they actually do us non-pirate folks a service by testing the waters for us! Thanks pirates!
>>322882309
>Tom can produce tires for free and without infrastructure
>Brian has overhead and expenses holding him back from designing new tires when this shit is the norm
Nice, let's cut out half the equation and then "solve" it!
>>322854226
I used to try games before buying them
But now I can get Steam refunds if its shit or buy a super cheap Steam key so I rarely bother
>buy
>>322882309
No no no, you've got it all wrong
It's more like this
>Brian is a sandwich artist at subway
>he invents a hot new sandwich
>Tom learns the recipe and replicates the sandwich exactly
>Tom give sandwiches away for free, thus solving world hunger
How could you NOT pirate, you're literally killing off starving children
copyright is cancer that feeds the jews.
Say I was eating a pizza, and some wizard fuck comes along and uses magic to clone it. He eats his magic pizza and tells me it's really good.
Now, thanks to him, I know my pizza is going to be good and I might tell my friends to eat there too. Not only did that wizard assure me of my pizza's quality but he essential sold more pizzas by doing so.
That's piracy, nobody loses.
>>322854226
how do you justify people making shitty games only for profit and not as a form of art or entertainment?
>>322882779
But your friends aren't going to purchase pizza, your friends are going to get it from the wizard too.
Wow anon, thanks a lot, you saved pizzas
>>322876021
that's our only benefit, i reckon.
>>322882543
Steam harasses you for refunding and tells you off.
>>322882309
Except when you pirate you don't actually touch anyone's property without permission.
>I write 101110 on a paper
>I start selling papers with 101110 on them
>someone lets someone else rewrite it on his own paper with his own pen
>FUCKING THEFT
>>322882858
The wizard is greedy, who won't just share his pizzas with any fuck who comes along.
1. It's convenient.
2. Some modern companies just don't deserve your money. I'd never buy a Ubisoft or EA game, for example.
3. Games generally aren't worth the money that's being asked for them.
4. Money can be MUCH better spent (like, almost on anything else, since you can get games for free)
I do buy some games from some companies though. Those that deserve my money. Overall though, I pirate about 95% of games.
>>322882957
thats plagiat and its a crime
>>322882851
>how do you justify people making shitty games only for profit
Food isn't free
>>322882975
No, the "wizard" makes it available to anyone in public.
Saving pizzas there.
I pirate shit I wasn't going to pay for in the first place. Have fun getting your wallet cucked by every shit tier dev out there, OP.

yeh , its not like it grows on trees or anything.

if you think like this you are turbo faggot
Pirate games because fuck you, thats why
You people really don't have much to complain about. They are making games for profit, but at least you get a game out of it.
Ever googled: how to make money online or a similar search to look for opportunities?
I'll explain you how to make money online.
You make up bullshit ways of making money online.
And you present this guide as a fact.
So people keep visiting you to learn how to make money online.
And they will fail, but you will earn money online.
Given the actual market, videogames are a relatively clean and honest medium.

Perfect
I will take the bait and justify it for you.
Take a look at my situation. Do you know why I buy a lot of original games now? Because I want to support the industry I love.
How did I come to love this industry? Of course, by playing video games, and as a kid video games were really, REALLY expensive here in thePhilippines. Taxes and shit really made them unattaiable for a kid like me, with no income.
So I played pirated games, for a lot of consoles and for the PC, since I can buy them really cheap, like for 2 bucks a game. Over the years all the games I've played were mostly because of piracy.
Now, when a game is so good, I regret pirating it and to show my support, I buy the game when it gets a little cheaper. Little by little, as I grew older with more disposable income, I bought more and more original games.
Now, I mostly buy original. If it weren't for piracy, I would have never loved video games in the first place because I had no money.

>companies just don't deserve your money
See, I have a problem with these sort of arguments. And I pirate stuff.
Imagine if you work overtime, but your boss won't pay you extra. He says "you don't deserve it"; are you just going to just accept that? Would that be ethical?
You might say, "well, I'm legally guaranteed overtime if I work extra"; in which case, aren't companies also legally guaranteed to be compensated for their work? You can't pick and choose which law you want to apply to yourself.

You can't just say what my wizard does. Even if the wizard did give out instructions on how to clone pizzas, most people won't be able to read them due to laziness, incompetence, or beliefs.
He still sold pizzas for that store.

make games as a form of art , not just to bring in money. This is whats wrong with the industry.
If people like your games they will give you money , now we have people trying to sell the last remains of shit for as much as possible.

in the era of paid reviews and no demos, it's the only way to test-drive a product before purchase. I buy the product if its good and the devs continue supporting it after release.
>>322854226
i thought deneuvo reckt people's hdds
is that true still?
Demos.
I download a game, test it out a bit. If it's shit. I stop playing. If it's good I buy a copy. I buy it because I want to support good games and hope the people who made the game I enjoy, make more.

It was confirmed by LotF devs + it gives shitty performance

Game of Thrones is a perfect example.
It's the most pirated TV show ever, yet it's extremely profitable and successful.
Pretty sure there's a link between the two.
downloading shit is legal here.
uploading isnt.
I dont even have to justify myself when im legal to download cracked shit LOL

I work for a company that makes shitty browsergames. I hate my job and have given up on a lot of things cuz my boss is a people abusing asshole.
In my freetime however i use my abilitys to come up with my own ideas , concepts and when i find the time i make those into games and demos that are available on my website for free.
I also post on a blog game ideas and concepts without filing copyrights or any bullshit. Its about fun and art , if you do it only for money you are selling your soul.
Piracy is still piracy no matter how you to try to justify it
people who try to justify it are just faggots acting like they are somewhat in the right of it
just like niggers who "didindo nuffin"
stop acting like niggers trying to play the victim you fags

>no demos
