@graf I agree. I don't mind piratebros and piracy, and piracy early in a console span is necessary for full preservationBut otherwise, if you don't pay for the shit you like and the stuff that's good, then they ain't gonna be making more

@zero We have ring 0 anti piracy measures because people didn't want to wait to play a game they weren't going to pay for anyway

@coolboymew @graf The way I see it, if the company sucks (Ubisoft, etc.) then it's not so bad to raise the black flag, but if you pirate when a company's trying to do things the right way or it's some indie dev's passion project, you're a scumbag.Honestly if someone told me they pirated Stardew Valley, I'd probably stop talking to them for a while, for instance.

@zero @graf If you believe that ending piracy will result in better games (or cheaper) then you need the world's biggest "fell for it again" award custom made just for you.

@mrsaturday @graf Oh no, I agree there. If it's shitty AAA, copypasted safe stale shit that deserves to die, SJW crap at the detriment of gamers, etc. Do raise the black flag. Hell, even better, don't even bother with that shit and put your time into something better

@graf >You niggers don't realize if people stop paying for games you won't have games to torrent. People should stop paying for proprietary software including games, and donate to poast ( or @sun ) instead. Free software games exist and will always exist as long as there are people to write software.

@zero @graf Nintendo is notoriously difficult to pirate. On line multi-player games are basically unpiratable because of their nature. Why are those games shit and expensive as fuck?

@coolboymew @graf No joke. I remember when everyone was talking about that stupid goose game and telling me to try it. I found out the devs were all in Melbourne, had pronouns in their display names on Twitter, and put some land acknowledgment virtue signaling in the game's credits, and just started telling people it looked boring. I could use the hard drive space on something other than garbage made by soydevs that would happily see me starve to death in a homeless encampment.

@graf If a game is worth my time, it's worth my money. Obviously, there are certain objectively evil games like Baldur's Gate 3 that might still be worth playing due to being reasonably well-made, in which case piracy is the only moral option, but even then I question whether you should spend 50-100 hours engrossing yourself in a world created by your Enemies, even if you're not giving them money.

@graf pirate it if you wanna test it or cant afford it, buy it if you liked it and wanna support the devs.I bought one game when I could because I wanted to support the devs.

@graf "Erm, pirating Forspoken didn't make le funny negro game good??? How could this happen???" :blobnerd: Yeah no dip. At least some indies carry the torch of good gameplay as first concern.Do wish there were more tools for proper autists to make more ambitious games with small teams/costs. Don't trust AI but we'll see, if it just increases slop x100 with no increase in quality offerings.

@mrsaturday @coolboymew @graf Most people buy games if they are good when they can afford them, Steam is proof of that, many people get free games in Epic and they buy them on Steam if they like them.
