It's bad because there's a lot of organized cybercrime tied to piracy. These people are looking to steal bank accounts or generate revenue for other criminal activities.

Because they are already committing several crimes, both in the cyberworld and outside of it, they don't mind committing the illegal act of distributing copyrighted content. That's one of the lower-risk types of crime that they can take advantage of to both infect computers with malware and to make money via the most invasive ads imaginable.

Because there is no such thing as legal provider for these kinds of streams or downloads, you really have to think twice because it may not be in your best interests to support them - whether that's by viewing their ads or by allowing executables to run on your devices.

I have spent over a thousand dollars on computer software.

How?

They not earning money. They have to pay for the internet and the videogame doesn't provide money to them.

Facepalm

Many of the piracy sites have the most invasive ads. They're making plenty of money that way. In addition, there's a way to generate revenue by sneaking in additional stuff with the downloads. Cryptominers, infostealers, spyware, adware, the list goes on and on.

Without piracy I wouldn't be able to play awesome games like mother 3

Imagine an independent game developer not making money because people keep stealing his game. :(

That is a construct of a media who has been made it possible and the same distribute used for all other media.

Think about it.

Your game has so little value that it has higher value of people closing their eyes every time a commercial is seen on internet.

cookies used to spy on people who download the game that their private sector is over.

That information is sold to the same companies who are self occupied to pattern criminal activity of people that they don't self see their own act of crime.

The poster does nothing. The institute behind the poster is everything.

I written before and do it again that To obtain cash someone has to give it.

If your concern is publishers on internet , They're the second lowest profit of all sectors for the reason that it's not commercials they're selling but data sold to companies to map people,

There is no gold by the end of the rainbow. private bank reserves are used to support the facade.

Videogame companies earn by people support the company.

This is why the company is its own pirate as you can find them writing in their own files =

"If you like the game support the company"

That is not something a person earn anything on writing.

You saying it's wrong but it's the company self who pirate their own games. So that they can profit on whatever there is to profit from it.

IF they can do so can the company behind the game,

FACEPALM

Depends on the perspective. For me, Pirates are gamers "robbing" for the people, for gamers with less opportunities. Privaters are the big game companies, "robbing" from the people, the gamers, who have to pay almost the same prize of a cheaper console (pre-order + base game + Dlcs or Season pass 1 2 3... or ultimate edition + game pass or nvidia now + microtransactions), for the bigger companies.
Besides who do you think are the best game saviors to preserve the long-term life of a game, the stores or the pirates.
Many games you don't find any more on your game stores, on your countries, and with some luck you had to wait for a remaster or a remake to get that game your waiting for so long.
Many people, save money for the big AAA games, and let a small indie game go hoping to buy next time, but then the game is out of the stores and you can't find it anywhere, unless the pirates have it. Besides, many games ended as abandonware, old games that don't have anymore attachments with game studios or game companies because they don't exist anymore, and don't belong to anyone anymore.
Another fun fact, some of the old games that are remastered now and sold for new computers, are very possible from pirate copies because the originals were lost or in bad conditions.
So piracy is good, privatering is bad.

PS: I am not recommending to choose, pirate games over originals. I am just showing that the end of piracy of games will end the legacy of many games.

It is considered a crime if I remember correctly so the answer here shouldn't be hard to answer. No.

If I were to answer with my honest opinion I would also answer No.

I like to think I was brought up to earn what I get ... not steal it. Piracy = stealing. End of story.

EA and Ubisoft set sail

We have a "game launcher" who need you.

And internet connections to mine.

[tom tomorrow]

Disney has shown us that piracy is preferable.

[steven1mac]

When you "buy" a game/movie online, and they remove it later along with your access to the game.... piracy makes sense then.

[talemore]

The game is already paid before it's distributed. You want to be a private company , ask who is going to pay for it.

The answer is not the future because the future has not happened.

You only do things for your own self interest.

[talemore]

Why are movies made if nobody going to watch it.

I heard many private movie makers saying.

= There's no reason to make movies nobody going to watch.

You're just greedy to expect you have the resources to be the movie maker.

and if you don't have the resources you need to know someone who does.

[Soft Wumbo]

if buying isnt owning, then piracy isnt ....

[HermitTheToad]

honestly yeah. Piracy is cool.
