Do you ever feel bad about pirating a game?
Owen Price
Zachary White
no
Christian Young
why?
Justin Martinez
No
Evan Collins
Why would I?
Lincoln Smith
Anthony Campbell
because i don't give a fuck if there are no consequences
if it is a big company they already have enough money
if it is a small indy studio 50€ won't help them survive it actually helps them if i pirate and is a good game because i will still tell everyone to play it and maybe help them grow that way
Jaxon Turner
No. I've bought a lot of games that I pirated because I liked them. I don't feel bad about it because I ended up paying for them.
I have not bought a lot of games that I've pirated. I don't feel bad about it but rather I'm glad I didn't spend money on them because they weren't very good.
Nathaniel Edwards
I don't even know where to start
Christian Phillips
I dont feel anything anymore
Samuel Lopez
start with
i am a cuck
Daniel Sullivan
If a game I’m emulating is really good but I have no means of supporting the developer nowadays then yeah
Noah Martin
Nope. If I bought every game I played I wouldn't be able to afford my pc.
Wyatt Martinez
No, The developers already got paid, why should I be? If i like a game enough I'll eventually buy it on sale though.
Justin Torres
No because it's rarely too late to buy the game later if I like it enough.
Hunter Moore
/thread
how is this debatable?
Sebastian Howard
Only when it's an indie game and I actually like it
Isaiah Lewis
no
if I like a game after I pirate it Ill check up on the devs to see if theyve done any cringe shit and then Ill decide if I want it on my steam permanent record or not
I regret NOT pirating risk of rain 2 after the fucking stadia cancer
Xavier Lewis
No
Jace Phillips
no because I can't afford them anyway.
Dominic Barnes
For indie devs, Yes. For Corporations, No.
Logan Ramirez
No.
If the devs are indie, and the game is good I buy or donate after the fact.
Examples: Factorio, Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, Unreal World.
When I buy games, I buy DRM free from the dev's website.If I must buy the game on steam in order to play it, then I do not buy it at all. Humble Bundle and GOG are alright, but not preferred.
Noah Ward
I just pirate everything, unless it's a multiplayer game I thirsting on.
Connor Nguyen
Agreedo with this user. Try before you buy, but always reward good games from small developers with a few of your shekels.
Camden Edwards
start with the tip, faggot
Jonathan Baker
no
im not spending my cash on a crappy game that wastes my time
if i like it, ill buy/donate to devs after
Andrew Stewart
What do I really NEED to pirate effectively besides a computer, keyboard and mouse?
Whenever I research into it, I get conflicting methods
Evan Cruz
>tfw too poor to feel bad about it
Jordan Lewis
No. I could care less about how developers feel. I just want to play the damn game.
Connor Richardson
Just go to IGG games and have torrent/winrar installed. That's literally it.
Justin Powell
No
I pirate to try a game out, because regular demos barely exist any more and all the people playing them on Twitch and Youtube have a financial incentive to make the game look good and gloss over the bullshit. If a game pulls me in after 1 session, I'll buy it.
Jordan Garcia
Get a seedbox and start begging for invites to private trackers like Gazelle Games. They offer a lot more than you'll find on The Pirate Bay and RUtracker.
Jace Ward
I felt bad after I finished Outer Wilds, because it was amazing. Strangely, I don't feel that bad about Return of the Obra Dinn, which was pretty good. I couldn't afford either one; I subsist mostly on rice. Piracy does not concern me generally.
