is piracy good or bad

[76561199554804214]

don't base your answers on legal or not legal just your honest opinion

[The Commendatore]

Only on Halloween. The one day you can play dress up as a pirate.

[Fake]

Piracy Bad.

Privateer Good.

[Vendicator Senpai]

good because the unofficial services offers stuff that official don't for whatever reason

[Lunar Fang]

I'll never understand the outrage of piracy. Someone who can't afford games bad, but the giant corporation robbing people blind with microtransactions, battle passes, expensive crappy recolors, in game charms, regular, deluxe, ultimate editions. If you purchase their super extreme edition where you get physical items, like art work books, statues/figures, trinkets. You don't even get the game and have to pay another 70+ on top of the 250$.

No no, piracy is good, just the common man isn't allowed to partake in it.

[Le fishe au chocolat]

Nice bait, I won't fall for it again.

Not being able to afford something does not give someone a right to steal it.

Piracy is always wrong.

[talemore]

Technically everything is theft.

Your employer stole it from the bank who gave it to you who stole it from the employer

You stole the food from the planet and gave it to your children.

In the end in exchange for services the company create videogames which is why today the government is paying videogame companies compensate for making the videogames.

And at certain point videogame companies earned enough cash that they don't need you to buy the games any longer.

That is the goal everyone on the planet has to work because they choose to it.

People in grocery store are stealing food and the grocery store itself is stealing the food from a storehouse who stolen it from a factory who stolen it from a farm who stolen it from the land who stolen it from the sun who stolen it from the galaxy who stolen it from the universe.

Instead it's about consumerism.

If you don't stela the game or buy the game or play the game the services provide aren't justified for the government to pay them for these services.

You only have access to what is for the public to reach as internet is self distributed by the government. Creators of the pages are self able to be taken away their rights and pages as well able to be removed as the distribution of internet is Google and Microsoft.

It is the case that anything on internet is public. What's public is for anyone to use.

It's not our responsibility to preserve laws.
They paid us nothing. And we never wanted the internet.

It is the videogame companies who want internet, not me or you.

[sleeps]

the thing is, to combat it is to make the service accessible which is where steam did it best. i don't account of whatever if it's good or bad but if to obtain it legally is harder than the alternative, the alternative carries more weight.

[Goldias]

Bad. It's not hard and net even need legal this and that to determine right or wrong in this case.

[👾]

You know those poor devs sleeping under a bridge with no food? That's all your fault. Shame on you.

They're parasites who want to earn on products the private banks are unwilling to pay.

It doesn’t work backwards.

You have to pay people making the games every month even if they not releasing any games every month.

[talemore]

They not paying the bank to make videogames.

The bank like any other bank is a reserve.

That reserve is not about earning money at all but distribute of resources.

Only if the person is cremated at the end of their lives rather than put back to the planet for it to return to be used by nature.

We could all be doing more to return what we take but cremation is the ultimate final insult to the planet.
