What company you never would pirate?

I will still play games from companies that did a bad

rampant gog piracy sounds in the distance

Any doujin game thats also readily available on Steam or itch.io. I just wait till I have the time to play and it gets a sale

Almost any start up studio that needs the money to become bigger. I still think you shouldn't pirate from studios you actually like. Otherwise how are you going to get more games from that studio? some people keep suggesting the idea of patronage but if no one has adopted it yet then they still rely on your sales to keep going. Maybe there's a dilemma If you like a studio but they happened to be published under EA, then i bet there are some scenarios of where your support doesn't mean shit.

Anyone that plays the "morally okay" card for piracy is a fucking faggot. I pirate anything I can without trying to cope that I'm not just stealing

doesn't pirate Steam

stop sucking GabeN's dick. Valve does not deserve your money.

同人 H-game devs, with all the recent, unjust fuckery

Not pirating Valve and Indie games

lmaooooooooooooo

I pirate whatever the fuck i want.

Indies. If I like some weird niche shit I want more of it.

not okay

WinRAR

WinRAR is pretty much the face of piracy, what is this fag on about?

Company

Anything that's publicly traded is not making products for your best interest

WTF is even worth pirating on Disney+?

Hudson Soft and NEC

I've never encountered a single company who I would avoid pirating from. Of the best games I've played over the past 40 years, not one was a game I pre-ordered, and I don't think more than 3 of them are games I bought without trying first.

I may be more LIKELY to buy your game if you've made stuff I liked before in the past, but I'm sure as shit not going to buy it without trying it first.

What is reaper?

What company you never would pirate?

I will pirate from anyone and everyone, and if I find it worth the price, i will buy it officially.

Pirating is like eating one of the grapes at the store, to see if they are good. I like to try before i buy.

It's like Netflix but for snuff films

Ubisoft because their games suck

give me money

no, retard
I pirate what I want

based
as a dev I really don't give a shit if people pirate my games because pirates gonna pirate
moralfagging about getting free games on the other hand is really annoying

I can't find it. What should I search?

making piracy a "moral question" is fucking gay anon, just pirate if you want to pirate, but quit pretending you're doing a public service just by being cheap. Piracy is always okay to do, but bragging about it or acting like a faggot because you're pirating from an "evil company" is never acceptable.

Why even use WinRAR when 7-Zip exists?

Nintendo goes to the top.

It's a skill issue that many normies suffer from

formally

Adobe is worse than EA. Nintendo is also worse than EA at this point. Hard to beat adobe though, they are pure shitbags.

I don't pirate anyone.
I just vote with my wallet if it's shit games from shit companies.

I can't find an illegal app with illegal content. Will you commit a felony and help me find it?

kek

moralfag pirates

I dont even pirate because I have like 800 games across all platforms.

Uh oh, we're having another moral piratefag episode! it's okay to pirate from *insert here*, it's morally justified! I love sucking dick btw!

winRAR

no need to pirate it, 7zip is free and better

Pirate game

End up enjoying the game

Decide to buy it in hope the devs make another good game

This is the correct path, though most games never reach the second line sadly.

I didn't know it was a pirate website when I asked, but you go on and tell me about what's in your hand over the phone.

every single game you have ever purchased is a loicense

Steam is a storefront, not a publisher. Retarded meme.

I really dislike that huniepop art style. Feels like its 1 step away from becoming guro.

WinRAR is pretty much the face of piracy

Nobody pirates winRAR. Everyone clicks close and move on.
I find it endrearing enough to not pirate it. plus i do own a legitimate copy on my 20 years old HP laptop.

Visiting a website isn't illegal you fucking zoomer

OP is not an itoddler tho...

i only pirate cracked denuvo games as a matter or principle. fuck denuvo drm

I only did this for nier replicant and automata this year. Worth every penny.

Having morals around actions is dumb as fuck. There are people who you should wrong, and people you should do right by

Just fucking pirate.
No, I don't care if you only pirate from specific companies.
No, I don't care if you are "le piratechad".
Stop making piracy such a big part of your personality.

Fucking retards.

I-it's just not morally ok to pirate games if they are on steam

Gaben and his team are hard at work uuhm doing bare minimum maintenance and cashing in royalties, ok chud?

Everyday that passes I hate steam punks more.

WHICH COMPANY'S BOOTS DO YOU LICK?? :D

Pathetic

You have the morality of a small child

gog games

Why have a console when PC exists?

Why use Windows when Linux exists?

Why sign up for BoA when credit unions exist?

Some people have negative IQ and will make the wrong decision for no real benefit.

What is it with pirates nowadays trying to make it into some kind of moral crusade?

anon, most likely the guy took the base template and didn't bother swap around colors to satisfy your autistic schizo ass

Steam is not a videogame company, what the fuck

I don't discriminate like some of you bigots ITT. I pirate everything.

Credit union

I agree but you should keep surplus money you arent using in an ETF, provided you wont need that money for 5 years you'll gain more money than putting it into some .001% savings account compounded "whenever I feel like"

Well you still need a checking account to get paid and buy shit online

That one guy in every piracy thread who always brings up moralfagging even though no one mentioned it

You're gayer than any moral fag. It's pathetic.

You are and are talking to children

He means that he's too stupid to figure out PC piracy.

Look at OP's image, retard.

i would add GoG to "not okay"

Is OPs image why you keep baiting the thread, you fat fucking nerd?

muh nobody brought up moralfaggotry

the OP did retard

If its on gog - i pirate
If its not - i dont care

Le epic winrar joke

Normalfag humor never fails to unfaze me.

Some pirates feel the need for moral justification, and some of those feel the need to declare their moral justification for validation. Most pirates simply do not care either way because it's just about getting whatever for free.

The OP posted an image. You're the one spamming the same tired, retarded shit as if we haven't all read it a thousand times.

Hit a nerve huh? Got mad you got called out for just wanting free shit? Why are you so insecure, it's Anon Babble nobody gives a shit if you pirate, but if you act like a fag everyone can smell it out.

I ain't spamming any of that shit, just pointing out you're a blind retard.

In general, yeah. If you've got more than a few grand in a savings account, you've probably made a mistake.
Right now 5 years might be too low a time frame though, given the market volatility we're looking at.
Pretty happy that I moved my elderly mom's assets into long term treasuries and CDs, all of which are between 3% and 5.2%, before all of this shit.

not okay: steam

implying the real reason you aren't pirating valve games is that they aren't making anymore

It's ironically the opposite. As far as people making grand moral arguments about piracy, there aren't any in this thread. Rather, you're the one actually grandstanding about piracy not being a moral issue. You look so fucking gay and you don't realize it.

OP posts bait

Immediately fat nerds start tipping fedoras about how piracy isn't a moral issue

Yeah, I'm the blind one. Hit the treadmill and go outside you fat fuck.

There are still people using winrar? Lol why?

you should keep surplus money you arent using in an ETF

No, you should keep it in a mutual fund so you can get the lowest expense ratios and no transaction fees.

you can do illegal activity towards X

you can't do illegal activity towards Y

This is very clearly a moral argument and no amount of denying it will make it not true. I've pirated steam and indie games and will continue to do so. Sit there, continue to feel that it's "not okay", and get fucked.

MUUUUUUH STEAM

Steam didnt release a single good singleplayer game in what? 15 years.
tehre is nothing to pirate from them

You cant pirate Counter-Strike becauee its online

I don't care if you pirate games, I'm just saying that if you stopped carrying a sword and wearing a cape irl, you might actually make some friends or even get laid.

Decide to buy it in hope the devs make another good game

you mean the publisher, and the notion that

if I just give them an arbitrary amount of money, they'll surely make a sequel

is pants on head retarded because there's no indication that said money won't just go to the CEO's 15th investment home or whatever. if a game bombs, they definitely won't make a sequel, but if a game is successful, that doesn't necessarily mean they will make a sequel. there are no guarantees.

Bro you're mad that people don't like a rehashed meme image somebody made to justify their own piracy. Stop acting like you have the social high ground, you're not picking up bitches by ranting about le ebil EA and le good boy Steam. At least no bitches that aren't totally desperate because they're obese or single moms.

You should also ditch the fingerless gloves and magic tricks. Nobody likes that shit bro.

How do you pirate a company?

What's wrong with WinRAR?

vaporware locked behind a paywall (that nobody actually pays for)

Closed source software that nags you about buying and is slower than 7zip on top of it all

Seriously, there is literally no reason to install winrar nowadays besides not knowing better.

pirating indie games bad

winrar

not okay to pirate

my unlimited company license says otherwise

I haven't pirated a game in well over a decade, if not more. I only "pirate" if the game is no longer being sold and is out of print. And that point, is it even piracy if I don't have avenues to purchase the game and have my money go towards the people who made it?

people who have to make a song and dance out of pirating and taking pride in it are bigger faggots than mindless consumers

This

why

None.
But I usually buy the games I pirate afterwards.

based op
same here

That expedition 33 game

The shills were annoying I never want to touch that shit and I like turn based RPGs, but holy fuck the ESLs and bots we're so annoying

PIrate everything

I pirate whoever I want whenever I want to. I'll pirate an indie game one day and buy an indie game the next. Same thing with Nintendo, or whoever the fuck else. Fuck retards trying to moralfag their piracy, unable to cope with the fact they're just poorfags who don't wanna pay if they don't have to so they can sleep at night.

DRM

Pirate.

no DRM

Buy.

Ironic, isn't it.

He actually has the morality of a Greek or Chinese hero.

I pirate whatever like a real pirate nigga

Online Multiplayer support (best if free), no F2P

Buy

Offline/Story based games

Pirate.
Simple

Exactly, just pay for the games after you enjoyed them. If you didn't enjoy them you don't support games you don't enjoy. There is no counter-argument.

7-zip doesn't handle mojibake properly without the using CLI.

Who?
