>>332631998
I didn't even bother pirating the shitty game in the first place. Nice try though, friend.
Isnt the point that the pirate guy did mods for the game to make it better and the other pirate only pirated the game? Why would the guy who has done nothing for the game be hired for the company?
It's free
>>332631998
I AM SILLY

Aww, jelly console peasants salty they have to pay 70$ for a few pixels!
So cute!
Got Witcher 3, the DLC, SUPERHOT, and the witness just this week.
That costs you 140$
And I got it for FREE.
>>332631998
You expect me to "read" that shitty poorly cropped "comic".
>>332632909
But it's not a few Pixels. It isn't pong. That's someone's livelihood. That's a bunch of families with sons and daughters to feed.

As long as you know you then no longer have any right to be an authority on the video game series by that publisher that's fine.
>>332631998
I like free stuff.
>>332634350
But if there was a cost behind the game's creation then it's not really free, is it?
>>332634408
Oh well.
If I can't pirate it, I won't buy it.
>>332631998
>>332634156
The new inconvenient DRM isn't stopping the pirate from pirating the game, so it only ends up affecting actual customers.
Then again, this was before Denuvo.
>>332634297
>you need to buy a game to know it's shit
>>332634297

You don't need to buy a game to have a valid opinion on it

Your argument is so flawed that you don't have an argument

Messed around with the settlement stuff for a while and tried exploring the map, the stuff in Salem was pretty interesting
Other than that I haven't felt a reason to play since those few hours at launch, I'm pretty glad I didn't waste money buying this one

actually wish I pirated xcom 2. I love the gameplay, but it wont run. I have never had a PC exclusive so poorly optimized, it might have been better if they made it cross platform at this point.
Trying before you buy is not a bad thing. I have pirated a lot of games and eventually bought, played a lot more that I never thought it would have liked just because it was free and easy, then loved them then bought them. circumstance and region only release is a bitch.
>>332634969
I felt this way after I played Skyrim for a few hours. Bethesda just craps out shitty half-baked products and lets the modding community finish it for them.
Anti-piracy fags, explain this to me:
What is the difference between pirating a game, playing for a few hours, and deleting it; and playing it for the same amount of time before getting a steam refund?

I know you are shit posting, yet it still bothered me.
10/10 i want to fucking die
>>332631998
>>332634969
I had a similar experience.
I pirated the game and some early patch, played a few hours a day for a few days, finished the Kellogg quest, started doing the Institute infiltration quest and the first Brotherhood quests and I was already bored.
Fallout 3 was too barren, Fallout 4 feels too dense. It needed more empty space with small things you find that arent part of a quest.
The shooting is the best in any Bethesda game, but still not good enough to justify playing the game as an FPS. All characters ending up having most skills is dull, and your personality not only being defined, but also being defined as one I dont like (unlike Geralt, who is defined but I did like) also killed it for me.
Its probably the best game Bethesda have made since Morrowind, but its just Bethesda Game: 2015 Edition. The formula needs more stuff, not taking stuff away.
Hopefully they make a new engine and add new mechanics in the next Bethesda Game game.
>>332634156
>>332634674
I bought a physical copy of Splinter cell: Chaos Theory which is now a paperweight because the shitty Starforce DRM will not allow the game to run on any OS past XP. Ubisoft support tells you to download a crack or buy it again from Steam.
The Steam version of GTAIV I have is also similarly useless since GFWL died in the arse. Rockstar have yet to patch it and many never actually do so. The game will run after several hours of fucking about and trying to find the correct .DLL files to copy to the correct location. But even then I'm told you can't save your game...I wouldn't know because it crashes after 10 minutes.
Here I am, a paying customer being harmed by DRM, while pirates have a better experience. I'm still not going to pirate games, but I'm extremely careful about my purchases nowadays. I certainly hold nothing against those who do pirate. I can absolutely understand why they do.
>>332631998
I have no money, so I wouldn't buy the game anyway.
loss-loss situation for devs
>>332632126
Then you can't afford to play, sorry.
I'm too poor to afford a Ferrari. That soesn't justify stealing one.
>>332638335
But what if you can put together an exact copy of a ferrari for free?
>>332638335
>copying a bunch of data = stealing a psychical object
Nigga...
>>332638603
It invalidates those who paid for it, making the item worthless.
If you had a Ferrari duplicator and made a bunch of Ferrari's, they'd be worth nothing.
Additionally, Ferrai wouldn't be able to develop any new cars because they wouldn't have the money to do so.
*physical
>>332638790
And yet games still are being bought despite the fact that you can pirate 99% of them.
I pirate because i want free shit
Oh shit did the word denuvo just got filtered? Denuvofags now post it using the "you-know-what" instead of denuvo.
Anyone can confirm this?
I wouldn't pirate fallout 4 because its not worth the space on my computer.

>>332635490
Getting the refund is worse because you're wasting a bit of the company's resources.
>>332635490
Isn't it Valve who pays the refund instead of the developer?
>>332638790
Pirated versions have a risk of having viruses. It isn't safe.
Plus people buy games, becuase they can afford and WANT to support the devs.
>when vidya companies prevent piracy its logical
>when monsanto prevents farmers from copying their seeds they're literally hitler
>>332631998
Why do I need justification? I don't try to pretend that I'm in the right for pirating, I just couldn't care less
>>332639067
Holy shit.
>>332639067
This is a falseflag right?
Pirates can't be THIS stupid.
> Another dimension of copyright policy is the extent of fair use: some ways of reproducing all or part of a published work that are legally permitted even though it is copyrighted. The natural first step in reducing this dimension of copyright power is to permit occasional private small-quantity noncommercial copying and distribution among individuals. This would eliminate the intrusion of the copyright police into people's private lives, but would probably have little effect on the sales of published works. (It may be necessary to take other legal steps to ensure that shrink-wrap licenses cannot be used to substitute for copyright in restricting such copying.) The experience of Napster shows that we should also permit noncommercial verbatim redistribution to the general public—when so many of the public want to copy and share, and find it so useful, only draconian measures will stop them, and the public deserves to get what it wants.
> For novels, and in general for works that are used for entertainment, noncommercial verbatim redistribution may be sufficient freedom for the readers. [...]
> Changes like these could bring copyright into line with the public's wish to use digital technology to copy. Publishers will no doubt find these proposals “unbalanced”; they may threaten to take their marbles and go home, but they won't really do it, because the game will remain profitable and it will be the only game in town.
>>332635490
Piracy is illegal and against the distributor's will.
The return policy is a offered service.
>>332639067
If there would be such a copying machine, there would be no need for money and shit and all the worlds problems would be solved.

Hey kid
you want some stolen books?
it's all free, take as much as you want
>>332641672
Do you take it up the ass regularly anon? Because this attitude of yours is really submissive.
Can someone who knows stuff about american law help me out?
Here in Germany if you buy a game (no matter if physical copy or download) you don't acquire property of the game but you buy a right to use the software (license).
If you pirate, you are using and copying the software without the right to do so thus it's illegal.
What's the legal situation of this in murrica?
>>332631998
that is so bad in so many terrible ways.
I am talking about the tread the post and the image in unison, btw.
>>332641915

>>332641349
But it's right. There's fags like you who will still buys it. Creator won't get bankrupt because of you, we're thankful because there's buyfags.
>>332640314
Yeah, but they get the money back from the pub/dev; they do have costs for the whole process though, so they are the one party that loses money on it.
>>332642491
Why should I care? You're doing something wrong, I am not.
I'm also supporting games and devs I like so they can continue what they are doing while you are hurting them.
Also I don't have to whine in denuvo threads.
>>332641349
It is true though, except for the part about him being happy.
Piracy is a process that simply does not exist in a system of physical goods for money, so treating non-physical goods as such is flawed, which is reflected in the fact that there is no definitive legislation on it.
Piracy is not legal or morally accptable, but it is definitely not theft.
>>332642798
Yeah I know. That's why I was wondering.
This isn't an argument. That's like saying water is wet so theft is okay.
>>332642962
Compare to racist blacks insisting they can't be racist, only prejudiced, because systems.
>>332638790
How come the most pirated games are also the best sellers? I mean you always hear about how bad piracy is and how it's killing gaming. But those games still sell above and beyond.
>>332631998
It is the systems fault that you can pirate games so easily.
What would you do if you found a 1000$ dollar note on a road one day? Would you stick to your morals, or keep it for yourself?
>>332642680
Well I'm not saying you should care. The less care for pirates the better.
>>332642798
>Piracy is not legal or morally accptable, but it is definitely not theft
What a load of shit. You know that lending a friend one of your SNES cartridges was technically illegal too? Do you think it's morally unacceptable to borrow a game off a friend too? I mean you're playing the game without paying for it.
Fuck your line of logic. In the 90s if I wanted to play a SNES or master system game I'd borrow it from a friend or rental store and then decide if I want to buy it. Since I can't do that anymore with all the always online shit and DRM I'll pirate first then buy later if I deem the game worthy of my money.
>>332631998
>playing Fallout 4
>ever
Why video games without DRM sell the most? I am talking about Fallout 4/Witcher 3, many people pirated those games but these games still sold millions of more copies than other drm games like Far Cry, Tomb Raider, etc.

>>332643690
Anti-pirates have such weak arguments that I'm inclined to believe they're all just baiting us and should not be taken seriously
Heres my defense:
1. Deal with it nerd
2. You are literally an idiot if you pay for something you can get for free.
3. I will never know the devs in real life, so there is no reason for me to give a fuck about them
4. There are hoards of brain dead morons actually paying for the shit.
You can go ahead call me edgy now. It won't stop me from pirating.
>>332643190
Money found on the ground is a tough one, because if anyone else saw it they will try to convince you they dropped it. Youcan't be sure they did drop it, or if they just want it because you got it first.

Why ask such a retarded question when it might not happen?
>>332644140
If they product their product in a way that forces me to pay for it, kudos to them I will have no choice but to buy games when they go on sale and my media consumption will dwindle.
As of now, Game devs are essentially placing a pile of money in the ghetto with a big sign which reads 'do not steal', then getting mad when the money goes missing.
>>332644364
Do you know what the word hypothetically means?
Or does it have too many syllables for you to understand?
>>332644140
>friend finishes playing game
>borrow it
no online but eh who cares
>>332631998
I don't care.
I have saved myself many a purchase from pirating.
I would never buy Dark Souls II or Fallout 4 had I known what it meant.
Now, I only buy games I know I want.
Or at least at a price where I can take a risk.
Most times I buy a game at launch, I get burned.
Sometimes because they're shitty games that weren't worth 60$, or I could have bought them for half price
a year later when it's been patched, fixed, and a proper modding community.
If I couldn't pirate, I'd just play emulated games all day.
>>332644429
Hypothetical questions are the most retarded thing.
>>332644417
Are you comparing pirates with a bunch of uncivilised niggers now?
>>332644494

Why? Do you lack the brain power to make some assumptions?
>>332644556
Not him, but yes.
>>332644572
Not him, but only if you don't already own a copy of the game
>>332644556

>>332644187

>>332644546
>Hypothetical
Sorry anon, but Denuvo is a thing
>>332644140
Then I will buy the games I really want to buy and don't buy the games that may or may not be fun, I don't know, I have no way of finding out.
>>332644626
No because it's a waste of time.
Why the fuck would I wonder about a thing that might or might not happen? Do you have so much free time to do that?
>>332644572
Emulation encourages and facilitates piracy when not condoned by the original copyright holders
Stuff like Nintendo's Virtual Console - acceptable
Third party emulators (Dolphin, Citra, Cemu, etc.) - legally dubious at best and facilitate piracy
