>give 0 shits about the moral implications and pirate anyway
Pirate game, play it and don't buy it
Sure but that's not the point.
And how is that different from pirating? Don't get me wrong I pirate most of my games but I don't see how different it is from playing a used copy considering that, ultimately, the developers aren't getting any money either way
Games are too expensive and don't give enough playtime for it either.
I can afford to buy anything I want, I just refuse to pay $60 for a game and be completely done with it in a couple of days.
Pissing money away.
Because pirating isn't always a lost sale. You can argue about the exact rate, but it's always less than a used copy.
Based
Don't white boy I will get my used copies and have a collection
Buying old games used is okay and based, boy.
Sharing disks is only a one at a time thing with people close to you.
Attempting to conflate this with uploading it online to millions of strangers at once is disingenuous and just shows the brain rot gathered from social ostracizing and NEETing
if you can't afford the game or if you try it for an hour and don't like it then uninstall it then piracy is ok
but if you have the money and like the game, then buying is the good way to support the product
i bought ori : installed it, 100% it in a week and uninstalled it, best 30 bucks spend; it didn't last but the game was good and i suported the dev
for goose game or goat simulator : pirated it, played 20 minutes each, uninstalled; not worth the price.
