>movies were always free
>tv was always free
>music was always free
>b-b-but guys you HAVE to pay $120 for a 2 hour "press X for cutscene" game though.
nah miss me with that shit.
at best i'll buy a game if the multiplayer looks good or if I want to mod it easier, but that's it.

Because I can

The answer is always poverty. No matter what cope they spit out it’s because they’re poor.

Nope you’re poor

The answer is always poverty

If companies can steal games from me for saying words then I'm gonna steal games from them.

it makes trannies seethe

Because why not?

this too, tbqhwyfamalam

Because I'm poor.

The more important question is why do you give a fuck? This fucking thread is shit and we've been having them since I've been here and nothings ever been accomplished from them.

>have a game on steam
>dev shits out patch that breaks the game when attempting to play it through steam
>download a crack in order to play the game
>dev bans me from forum after telling people the solution
>file a suit in small claims court for breach of contract and violation of 17 U.S. Code §117
>send them a letter via certified mail that they've been sued in small claims court
>dev never issues a response
>judgement defaults to me
>send an email to certified mail to steam letting them know what happened and a dev has lost a lawsuit against a user
>steam dude asks me if store credit is ok
>say yeah
>get store credit
>game doesn't leave inventory
That's how you deal with this shit, you retards.

here's an even faster solution
>don't live in a third world country
That's it.

Why do birds fly?

Civil Disobedience.

AAA companies robs people yearly in the form of tax credits and benefits
people literally paid for their shit even if they don't want to.

if is an indie is basically free market and people will buy it if is good.

I'm fabulously wealthy and live in the first world, though.

It's a game I don't think I'll enjoy for more than 30 minutes.
I pre-ordered Sekiro.
I pirated Tomb Raider 2013.
I am going to buy Elden Ring.
I will pirate Cyberpunk 2077.

it provides a superior product 95% of the time

Which game?

I don't like the developer/publisher, but want to play the game so I can shitpost about it on Zig Forums.

>all this seethe and projection

Sometimes I'll pirate a console port that I already own (like horizon)
But I played it for about 10 minutes

if its a game series that i consistently give a shit about like Ace Attorney and nothing else I won't pirate it

There's no demos

based jew

Cause its free and that is the only acceptable answer.

Convenience I guess.
I'm a single 20s year old nerd with no payment obligations other than regular services, money isn't an issue for me.

To try before I buy. Steam fucked me on a refund once.
I will never buy something that isn't a sure thing again.

Everyone does it wether they know it or not, no one cares, no one enforces laws against it outside of Asia and really bored law enforcement.
It's really convenient.
When's the last time someone got arrested for watching a YouTube video, or downloading and MP3?
I remember when I used to watch TV shows would make a big deal out of downloading music, but I have never heard of someone getting vanned over MP3s outside of TV shows.
Did I mention it's really convenient?
