Why do you pirate your Games? How you justify?

[Picnic_Boy]

I don't, but I should in most cases.

 

[The Last Stand]

Does emulation count as piracy?

 

[Miller]

I don't pirate games. If I want to play a game I wait until it is cheaper. If a studio goes woke I won't buy the game or pirate it, I will just not play the game at all.

Pirating software isn't worth the virus risk IMO.

But when it comes to movies & TV shows, I fly the Jolly Roger with no regrets.
Even if Netflix & co. were completely free... scratch that, even if they paid me money to use their shitty platforms... I'd still stick with torrents.

[CrippleThreat]

Why do I pirate? Because I want to.
Justification? Because I can.

 

[Troonos]

I don't. Get a job, faggots.

 

[CakeCutey]

I don't. Get a job, faggots.

No. I want that free shit.

Does emulation count as piracy?

If you're emulating with a game you own then no. If you arent then yes

 

[verygayFrogs]

Because Nintendo won't release Mother 3 and Binding Blade in the west.

 

[Cod of War]

Does emulation count as piracy?

Nintendo: Of fucking course, how fucking DARE you try to play shit we don't make or sell anymore! You make me sick, I might sue you.

 

[pedoguyguykrai]

I pirate because its cheaper in the long run to pay for band with and not 60 dollars a pop for expansion packs, also going to pirate old vn games becauce abandon ware torrents have them,

 

[Porque no los dos?]

I emulate games that I can't get any more/weren't released in English. So yeah I guess I pirate shit.

 

[gaystoner]

I literally have 36 bucks on steam rn because i thought a game would be interesting but its turned out not fun...and i have no idea what game I'd even want to play now.

No reason to pirate when most games are bad/unappealing to me so I end up playing from my Library. Same thing with movies...why pirate bad movies? most movies/tv series aren't worth the time spent watching let alone pirating or worse yet paying for just to be disappointed.

 

[MrTroll]

Because it is easy, 100% safe (unless you are a giant retard), and I couldn't care less about depriving (((publishers))) and the weepy faggot developers they employ of my money.

 

[Canoodler]

I simply don't like paying money for things.

 

[Azazel]

Because I can. It's there for the taking, I want it, it's free, I have no moral problem taking it, so why give away my money like some retard? That's money I can buy physical goods with. I don't get NEET bucks from the government so pissing it away on some leisure software I might not even like and might not be able to refund doesn't seem like a good use of my money. Most devs got rid of demos so it's their own fault.

 

[Crazedking]

Several reason.

1. Because im broke so i wasnt going to be paying for your game anyway. But ill eventually buy them when im no longer broke if i actually got enough entertainment out of them.
2. To test out games before actually buying when im not broke. If i like it, ill buy it.
3. To play paradox games because fuck you paradox im not paying 200-300 dollar to play your fucking games with full functionality

For tv shows and movies. Nah fuck you ill just stream/pirate it all.

 

[Car Won't Crank]

Steam sales and humble bundle

 

[Jones McCann]

I haven't pirated a game in a while, probably because I don't play many games and the games I do play I am willing to pay for to support the developers, also I want to have updates without the hassle of torrenting shit again. On the other hand I pirate music exclusively simply because it's easier than actually buying it or using some faggot subscription service. I'm probably an outlier because I don't really play AAA tier shit games that are copy and pasted. If you buy those games you should definitely be torrenting them in Minecraft. I would say you should buy shit to support people who deserve it, if they don't deserve it or if they piss you off you should be torrenting and sneeding afterwards.

Nintendo: Of fucking course, how fucking DARE you try to play shit we don't make or sell anymore! You make me sick, I might sue you.

Also Nintendo: Makes use of emulation for rereleases.

Looks like SNES9X isn't used on the SNES Classic. I was wrong on that one.
