Naah. It’s because I said my peace and don’t care to bicker with debate-bros that defend devaluing IP because they can’t run it on their shitty decades old PC.
I’m typing words. Haven’t said a thing. And I’m done with this. You clearly want to argue and I’m not about that. There are people here like to report me for disagreeing with them, so I’m out.
Maybe chill out a bit and accept that some people might disagree with you.
You think game developers don’t deserve to be paid for their work.
I literally do not think that though. This is that nuance I was talking about that you’re afraid to engage with. Not everybody pirates games and then never buys them.
I’m very tight on money and cannot buy every game I’m interested in. So I pirate games and treat them as demos. If I dislike the game, I stop playing it, and no harm is done since I would have either never bought it or refunded it regardless. If I like the game, I’ll buy it at the first opportunity.
Esoteric Ebb is the most recent example of that, I played it for a few hours and it immediately jumped to the #2 spot on my wishlist. I haven’t bought it yet, but I plan to soon. It’s also recently happened with Schedule I, and this one I actually got. Me pirating the game has literally earned them a sale they otherwise would not have gotten.
Truly, when I went into that argument, I wasn’t expecting so much nuance, subtleties, and unique perspectives. They really showed me. I’m a changed man, from this point forward I will never buy games I’ve pirated because Rhoeri says I don’t do that!
You know, I had a bunch of screenshots ready of me talking to a friend about pirating the game on discord, talking about my thoughts on the game after doing so, and then screenshots of me getting the game on steam the very next day. But this is already way too much effort put into a discussion with somebody as unserious as you. So I’m going to respect my own privacy and just not do that. Have fun living your life without nuance I guess.
Why is pirating inherently dishonest in your opinion?
That question is too stupid to bother answering.
Since we all know your actual thought without even being told: Making a copy is not theft.
It is. But I’m not going to argue with you about it.
Yeah… Because you don’t have a leg to stand on. 🙄
Naah. It’s because I said my peace and don’t care to bicker with debate-bros that defend devaluing IP because they can’t run it on their shitty decades old PC.
Then why the fuck do you keep running your mouth?
Because he’s a boomer who thinks his shit doesn’t stink.
They’ve spent the past 24 hours arguing over this taking L after L after L. I’d be asking Denuvo for payment to do that level of shilling.
Denuvo has been caught astroturfing on social media before. It wouldn’t surprise me if they actually were being paid.

Lol
I already accept that you disagree. You don’t accept that you are wrong.
Shame. It’s a more nuanced discussion than you seem to believe.
But Rhoeri said they always use nuance in discussions, they couldn’t be defending companies that don’t care about them.
Sure bud 👍

There is no nuance in this argument, therefore there’s no merit in debating it.
I literally do not think that though. This is that nuance I was talking about that you’re afraid to engage with. Not everybody pirates games and then never buys them.

Welp, Rheori said you didn’t do it, I guess your argument is now invalid.
Truly, when I went into that argument, I wasn’t expecting so much nuance, subtleties, and unique perspectives. They really showed me. I’m a changed man, from this point forward I will never buy games I’ve pirated because Rhoeri says I don’t do that!
Silly you thinking you had free will and the ability to think differently than what Rhoeri said you did. Nuance only works in his favor.
Bullshit.

The irony.
