Is this how it feels to be 1/100 of nexusnomad 😭

Because people cannot read, I never said people should stop pirating but somehow people think I said that.

Get this guy on a good team.

Nah I think ryanguru is just coaching everyone lol, I remembered he coached a CR streamer cmiiw tho.

💀💀 I only want to get rid of ai art, not all art

Everytime I looked at someone's arts I always had to look at his/ her profile bios just to make sure he's not using AI tools. This shit annoys me a lot bro.

It(the thread) was meant to question the justifications of people who pirate stuffs, and 70% of users in this thread either can't read or purposefully ignoring my point, which is just say you're broke and don't need to go out of your way to justify why pirates are cool etc.

A lot of your counter arguments revolve around others are paying anyways, and ultimately it is the CEO and the hgher ups earn those money anyways, but that doesn't make it any less wrong..

But I agree that illegal shouldn't be considered as morally wrong, I never argued in terms of legal factor tho 😅.

Btw have you ever considered that company might end up cutting employee's paychecks all the way just so it touches bare minimum required if they had to cut profit margin?

You know what I think you're braindead too, one of your questions literally asked "what is wrong with stealing?"

Let's just consider this conversation never happened because my brain can't take your stupidity anymore,

So that makes both you and your friend wrong?? What are you trying to say here. There's a reason devs or companies put a price tag on each "file" which is just a product. And you're taking them for free? If company know there's billions of people with this kind of mindset no one except few incredibly passionate + have the means to do it, will create games, because according to your argument all it takes is for one guy to buy the game and it's essentially free for everyone else because now he can share the file for free.

Are you trying to argue for the sake of arguing?

Meaning that you can download it through somewhere else through the internet without having to travel physical miles just so you can copy them, do you even understand what you're saying here?

Btw don't mind the flag I'm just repping the flag till ascension ends

when i pirate a file, you still have just as many files as you had before.

.

i'm not even going to your PC and taking a copy that you have to CTRL+C CTRL+V to replace,

So you think that just because it is easy to copy, and companies having basically unlimited stocks, means you can steal it? That's Flawed logic buddy

Look, I'm not forbidding pirating etc, and too expensive is a legitimate reason to pirate. But my point here is specifically towards those who have other justifications such as companies are evil , free marketing yadda yadda.

I don't get this insistence on who's harmed or not, do we actually have to harm someone just so something to be wrong?
I also don't get the point of your 1st question.

Pirating is specifically wrong because it is just stealing.

I have to say it's company and ultimately it's employees who be harmed.

What's specifically is wrong about
Point A
When you pirate something it will snowball vs when you simply don't buy the product. If you pirate something others will think that they should too instead of wasting money.

Point B
But that's not the case with simply not buying, with not buying you basically said you're broke and the product doesn't suit you and move on. It is easy to move from point B to point A but as long as you don't, no one is harmed.

Oops you got me there, fair point.
Because at the end of the day pirating is downloading stuffs without paying, that's stealing and it's wrong.Just because it is abstract or in this case digital doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm not saying I didn't do it, I did a lot too. But I'm not gonna go out of my way saying pirating is free marketing etc, that's bollocks , just say you don't have money or the media/console is no longer available lol.

My stance on piracy has been neutral, my problem is the mental gymnastics these people will go in order to justify doing so.

Istg is my wording too hard to understand 🤦‍♂️? Do I need to make a tldr just for a 2 paragraph text?

50% jinx and the rest is prefiring my expectations so I don't get super disappointed later on 💀💀

Me too, I'm always amazed by what snes and nes games can do, ik we shouldn't judge them by current standards, 1 or 2 mb games that have tens of hours of content is crazy.

That's a good idea actually, never thought about that, thanks 👍

🤦‍♂️ I feel you bro, it sucks.

Ah yes, no wonder I remembered, that's the first time i actually interacted using japanese ( sloppily 😂)

Did your account get banned? Cause I definitely remembered talking to you before 😂

Ok this is a legit and valid take. It's sad to see old games disappear , and I thank piracy for preventing that from happening.

And they can add more viewers if they just focus on esports because when people think about League or csgo they think about faker and simple. At that point you should just focus on esports and retire later. I'm sure brands or sponsors would love that even more.

For them it's more beneficial to continue while for others it's not.

Read again, at what point did I say people should stop pirating

Talking as if faker doesn't own a building in south korea 😂😂. Faker's branding ultimately comes from esports and not content, esports is ultimately where his money comes from bro. Not many have the means to do that.

No doubt about it piracy has some benefits, and not just the gaming community, anime in the west to my knowledge won't be as mainstream as it is today without pirating..

You do you bro, I'm gonna go back and download the rom for ff5 on snes simulator 😂😂

I mean I pirate stuff too, but I'm not gonna delude myself into thinking that I'm some Robin hood 😂

Finally, someone who's honest about it..

Unfortunately it's only one study, it's not that clear tbh, needs more studies on this.. but if it does increase profit then it's great for the community

Fair point, in some cases piracy is actually stems from the company itself. But I always find it quite annoying when people try to spin this as being morally correct or something.

That would be stupid for the company to do so from a customer relationship viewpoint.

Also if everyone has that kind of mindset ain't nobody except few that have the means to do it will be in this industry anymore because all it takes is just for company to release the file to public and its free game 😂😂

So you're saying the only way companies can stop pirating is to actually insert viruses into pirated files 😂😂..

But really, we're on the " too expensive excuses" zone to I won't argue with that. What I'm trying to say is some people need to get off their high horse thinking they're robin hood or something 😂😂

Have you read the whole thing or this is the first thing that pops out from Google scholar on one search ? If you've read it tell me the page.

It's one of the issues I had with pirating, bro I got malware because of it lol. Like I said I'm not saying stop pirating , it's just that people who tried to excuse pirating with extravagant reasoning are yapping.

Again it's a weak argument, those who actually bought the game will see people who pirate the game and think "why buy the game when I can just pirate it,that way I don't need to spend money"

People who pirate often coincide with people who people who don't have the money to do so. And when you don't have the money to buy the game, I doubt you will buy the game later on

But if they know you got the game from pirating , then in the back of their heads why shouldn't they pirate too.. you got it for free then why shouldn't they..

Marketing only works when people buy your products , and even if let's say that the scenario worked it would be a loss for the company too.

It's not, the arguments are too weak..

Free marketing - your friend who pirated the game recommended you the marketing, but why should you buy them when you can just pirate them like your friend did.

Repaying the dev- when you're at that point you're going to focus on living paycheck to paycheck and repaying the dev for what you stole is definitely not on the top of your lists.

Fair enough it really depends on the context( whether the company still exists or not), but one of the arguments I see about why people justify pirating is because they think corporations are this evil incarnate, which I have no comments, but then trying to spin it as being a Robin hood is what annoys me.

I'm just saying let's keep the reasoning honest.. ain't no one is thinking about repaying the dev back after they had the money to purchase the game, it's not free marketing either, etc..

This is one of the few reasons that I can accept tbh. It's too expensive for companies to re-release them on a new media orsome games' program are just lost ( just like few final fantasy's game(cmiiw)), so the only way you can do is just pirate them.

It's hard for me to judge, I pirate textbooks too, but i understand that knowledge are expensive in this day and age.

I'm pretty sure when people pirate they don't really think about what will happen to the company etc, they only think about themselves..

1. The media isn't available anymore ( I live to play old jrpgs like chrono trigger and final fantasy)
2. Too expensive ( but my preferences barely coincide with this issue so I think only number 1 that's legit)

Too young

Sometimes I see there will always be people who try to justify pirating, like brother stfu, it's bad no matter how you try to spin it. I pirate stuff too but never once will i justify them because I know it's just wrong.

Let me make this clear, I'm not saying you guys should stop pirating , I'm just saying let's keep the reasoning honest that's all. The only reason that's legit to me is , too expensive or the media doesn't exists anymore.

Enjoy your ban , and bold of you to assume that I understand portuguese

I have a feeling riddle will lose this 💀💀

pcfic winning would be pointless either when 3 of their best players aren't old enough..

Whatever to help you cope your lost buddy 😭
