What are your thoughts on piracy? (self.Gamingcirclejerk)

thewalkindude が 投稿

Ever do it? Is it ever okay? I have engaged in the practice, but more in the "keep circulating the tapes" sense, rather than the pirating of new games. The way I see it, piracy is the only practical way to get many older games. And, in a few cases, the only way to get them at all. I also don't feel particularly bad about it, because the developers and publishers are no longer making money off the sale of most 16-bit games. This excuse, of course, falls apart if the games are on virtual console or something, but many aren't.

I mean the way I see it, theft is the only practical way to get ahold of a 1967 Shelby gt500... They don't make them anymore. Plus I don't feel particularly bad about it because the manufacturer doesn't make any money off them anymore, so it's fine.

You know, if I don't steal that car, who is going to preserve it for future generations of my kids to enjoy?

I'm 100% morally in the clear on this one.

None of us are really going to care if you do it, we can't stop you anyway. But if you're the type that tries to justify and rationalize it in your head, while trying to convince people that piracy is "good" and that paying money for games is what sheep/shills do, then you're delusional.

I steal games too. I have my own bullshit selfish/cheap reasons as to why I do it. I just don't try to justify it and say shit like, "oh piracy is actually harmless, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, everybody should pirate, these casual shills are so out-of-touch". Unless I already bought the game, I'm just being a dick.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I think undubs are fucking cool. Also, people hacked the US Dragon Quest VII 3DS remake for the US and replaced the MIDI soundtrack with the original Japanese orchestral soundtrack. That's awesome to me. I plan to buy Dragon Quest VII (i'm a Western Dragon Quests shill clearly), but I'll definitely download the hacked version for the music.
