| You get to play the game earler than people who preorder + no denuvo (aka: you can play it offline)

What a time to be alive, double dip for the pirates! Thanks denuvo and everyone who defend them!

| *earlier

| If you are alive in this world to pirate games just to have them "earlier"...

| >>172760 I mean, that is the whole point of pre-ordering... you pay extra money to play the game as soon as it is available

| "extra money"
That isn't how preordering works

| >>172778 allright, it's not extra money. YOu are just giving your money before they show you the products. Which with the pirated version available, has no point anymore.

| Thats not the point of pirated games, normally you would take this version if you can't afford the game. If you just pirate a game to have it sooner you don't have a soul or you don't have any love to developers (which doesn't even makes sense losing your time there)

| >>173038 why the fuck would I want to support a dev/publisher with backward ass logic who still put up denuvo despite it has been breached?

The purpose of denuvo is to make pirates can't play the game. Now that the pirates have breached it, denuvo just make it so that the PAYING customers can't play offline.

| But you are playing their game, even if you don't pay them you are supporting them it doesn't make sense to say you are not supporting them, they will only see you are playing their game so they won

| >>173263 If they think that just playing the game is supporting, then they won't put anti-piracy in there

| >>172760 >>173038
You gurls are missing the point. People don't really pirate because they want to play early. But the fact that if you pirate, you don't have to pay + you get to play game earlier than people who pay, are a bonus point point for pirate and a kick in the nut for people that pay.

| A kick in the nut for people that pay?
Personally, I don't care if people pirate stuff. How would that offend me. Like yo I ain't a manchild that gets mad if someone can play a game earlier than me.

| Most of that is true though. Sure some people pirate a game to try it out, but really most people just pirate it cause they don't want to spend money and or can't.
But to that g/u/rl that said "just playing the game is supporting them" LOL. That is completely wrong. That's like that privileged Youtuber that demanded a free hotel stay because "free promotion" and when the hotel denied her, she revolted and the hotel responded and she got burned.

| Pirating is a statement.
Either to mock their DRM, or spit on their overpriced stuff, you choose. As long as they make profit you're not even hurting them financially. Anti-piracy campaigns are pure greed. The programmers still get paid etc.

| Priates are so self-righteous
To me they soind the same as those kids that think shoplifting is sticking it to the big corporations

| for the record pirating does hurt the industry, and is the reason we never got phantasy star portable 2 infinite(and probably online 2 out of spite)

| I'm not talking about indie games, my argument still stands.
Ubisoft didn't stop Assassin's creed because of pirated versions, they just bitched and moaned and kept being a shitty company.

| Phantasy star wasn't an indie game lol

| Whatever you tell yourself to justify not wanting to pay for your games, guy

| You seriously think bethesda sold Fallout 4 at 80$ because of your evul hack3r mafia? Give me a break. I don't even pirate stuff either way. I just think it's dumb that you defend multinationals because you think they're run the same way as your local convenient store.
Have some perspective.

| You're just a spoiled kid, you're not "making a statement" you're just being cheap and justifying it with weak claims

| As if personally attacking me suddenly made you right.
I thought you were better than that.
Listen, I'm sure you're a sucker for free market. Well you should know in the real world there's no ties between the tag price and the production cost. The price of gas for example doesn't fluctuate with the cost of making it.
It's the same for games, or movies, pick your poison. Believe me if medias were as monitored as gas you'd dream of pirating stuff. It's a buffer. A deterrent.

| Literally imagine it as if you had to work but somebody came and stole your paycheck. Even if you get paid through your company, if your company starts losing money then they won't be able to pay you, or supply you with tools to work properly, or even keep doing whatever your company does. That's what pirating is. Stealing. If you think its ok because they can afford it, then would you be ok with people taking a couple dollars from your wallet over and over again?

Just a little break: Phantasy Star is not coming just because it's not popular in Europe and America, which doesn't even have nothing to do with piracy as PS2I was an extension, in Psp those kind of sales never left Japan (thats why they have two Monster Hunter versions per game) and Phantasy Star Online 2 is f2p, piracy doesn't make sense there at all, it's just not popular, some fans tried to make a server but at the end it shutdown

| See post >>173512
Believe me if they need to buy you tools they will. The cost is minimal compared to the profits.
Again. Have some perspective. Coming back in my example of fallout 4, it sold because Bethesda is respected. They pulled a high price because they could. When other companies try to pull off the same stunt they crash, and failing to understand why, they blame piracy and rely on people like you to take their side, instead of fixing their internal issues.

| The world of media is one of the rare instances where bad management equals direct loss of profit. We should cherish that, too many corporations have a completely dysfunctional management yet still make large profits, at the expense of society, because of the status quo enforced.
Alright I'm done now..

| There aren't sides to take you don't, your statement means nothing and will continue to be ignored and you know this but you keep going because hey, free games

| If you like something give it your money, money talks more than your pretend movement ever will
If you're so anti-drm then don't play it. Entitled brat.

| >>174098 yeah, just keep feeding the faceless corporation that treat people who pay for their game like pirates, brainless fanboy

| enjoy your malware

| >Discussion about video games
>"manchild" and "entitled brat" is used as an insult

lol you games need some self awareness and or mirror

| I feel like arguing the post above me is what he wants so I'll just say "sure"
Anyway, what's the point of arguing here? I mean pirates are going to pirate. It's a fact. I pirate games. When I legitimately bought my first game it felt super nice. Now, on occasion, I buy games I really like. However, I still pirate some games. You're not going to say things they don't already know, you're not going to convince them. This thread should've ended many pasts back.
