The real pirates in the game industry are the ceos paying themselves hundreds of millions of dollars while their employees are forced to work 70 hour weeks for 2 years, and then let go anyway

I once knew a guy, Who only pirated games. Then one day he enjoyed a game so much he decided to go and purchase a copy. After installing the game onto his PC, the legitimate copy refused to run properly and continue to crash. So he uninstalled and played his pirated copy instead.

I “owned” R6S, AC3 and Black Flag, Ubisoft deleted my account due to inactivity.
I will never buy a ubisoft game ever again and forever will be pirating their games for the shitty move they did.

my favorite saying is "if buying isn't owning piracy isn't stealing"

A wise man once said:
"I don't pirate indie games because they need the money.
I don't pirate AAA games because they suck."

Pirating Adobe and Ubisoft is always morally correct

"anything said in this video is a form of satire"
and then Immediately after:
"PIRACY IS AMAZING"

- Clicks "Piracy is good, actually"
- Startup up ad is the Ubisoft pirate game
When an algorythm match is simultaneously the worst and the best...

I love how on the internet so many people are treating piracy like this big ethical dilemma, but where I grew up nobody even knew you were supposed to pay for Windows

Gaben's point is valid for economies in general. High trust societies generally conduct better business, because in low trust societies you need to waste a ton of time, money and resources to make sure you aren't being swindled at every point of the transaction. Should you provide more convenience and flexibility to customers, your sales will likely increase. Mistreatment of your customers with an ever escalating DRM arms race will only cause your company to be disrespected in kind.

as an iranian living in a sanctioned country we cant really buy games, the downside is we cant pay most online games like squad. otherwise ive never paid for a game in my life and i played most games. there are times when i genuinely want to support a good indie game developer but i cant bc our banking doesnt work with dollar. otherwise we have websites that only allow iranian ip addresses but let you download virtually any games cracked latest cracked version

The depressing thing about piracy is that its sometimes better. Like, why pay for the same product in a worse package. Because its legal? 90% of the companies have already violated 30 workplace laws

Pirating Nintendo games is pretty epic, although i tend to not like pirating indie games as i like to support the little guy

One of my favorite things that ever happened in the approval of piracy/ anti-DRM sphere was when Sseth reviewed Star Sector. In his review, he noted that the game has no copy protection in it at all, then he included his actual CD key, and he provided a download link where you could get the whole game, which happened to be the developer's own distribution site where you buy and download it properly.
We crashed the website.
Not from too many downloads at once, but we crashed it from too many people trying to buy the game at once.
If piracy can be considered theft, then the invitation to piracy by a company generates so much respect that the theft becomes negligible.
Helps if you make a great game too, obviously, and it is. Go get Star Sector. Go "try" it for free, if nothing else.

This is exactly the argument I've been making for years. The main reason most people pirate is due to an inability to afford whatever it is with most people I know who pirate voicing significant shame at the fact that they cannot afford to pay for these things legally
Therefore someone who otherwise would not have given that company money obtaining a copy made on non-company servers means that the company has quite literally lost to nothing because either way whether this customer pirated or not the outcome for the company is the same in the company losing nothing and gaining nothing (financially)

6:13 as a child I thought this anti-piracy ad was just a really hype trailer for some internet crime movie lmaoooooo

Your line about adblockers followed immediately by sponsor skip skipping your ad was hilarious to me

The thing I remember the most about that anti-piracy ad was wishing my internet was fast enough to download movies as fast as they do in the ad.

I live in Madagascar and the way for most of us to watch anime, movies, tv shows, read manga, play games is by pirating it or watching it ( anime, movies and tv shows) on tv which I wouldn't be surprised if it was pirated as well. So yeah most of the fans that could go on to earn enough extra hobby money to officially support anything they care about started with good old piracy.

You told me to pirate something immediately and I couldn't think of anything, so I downloaded your video...
