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

- Clicks "Piracy is good, actually" - Startup up ad is the Ubisoft pirate game When an algorythm match is simultaneously the worst and the best...
@coreythebludragon1986
Piracy is illegal, but it's not illegal for companies to go into my house and take my game away and not compensate me.

“When I grow up I wanna be a pirate” You want to be a pirate because you want to be Jack Sparrow, I want to be a pirate so I can play Buck Bumble.
@regisicarii
Your line about adblockers followed immediately by sponsor skip skipping your ad was hilarious to me
@mal9369
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

29:14 “Piracy Kills your Heroes” Says the company that killed Bloodborne and Sackboy on their own.

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
@Degenerate_EDIT
The Ubisoft CEO recently said, "be prepared to no longer own your games" and so all I'm doing is preparing for that :)
@coolcommcollect
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

The Pirate Code of Honor: - If you pirate games because you're broke and you'd never be able to pay for them -> no moral dilemma, they wouldn't get your money either way - if you pirate games coz DRM makes it slower -> not your problem! - if you pirate games from greedy publisher corporations -> you're doing the lord's work - if you pirate games not available in your region, or no longer available anywhere -> no moral dilemma - if you're loaded and you pirate indie developers coz you can -> no dilemma: you're a dick

"As creator of said game, you should support indies if you can, but culture shouldn't exist only for those who can afford it, Ultrakill wouldn't exist if I hadn't had easy access to movies, music and games growing up"

As an argentinian, I am certain that the Steam price spike will be inevitably followed by a piracy spike. A lot of us still have a fresh memory of most people exclusively buying pirated software before Steam was an option and it will be an easy step to go back into that.
@DropIet
nothing boils my blood more than knowing hundreds of people's work for multiple years can legally be just deleted of the face of the earth overnight because some rich person said "hmmm nahhhh" but then it's illegal to continue to enjoy something you've already paid for in case of games as a service
@Bobbin4Brownies
Piracy isn't stealing but I wish it was. I want to download Mario 64 and then Nintendo wouldn't have it.
@luk4aaaa
6:13 as a child I thought this anti-piracy ad was just a really hype trailer for some internet crime movie lmaoooooo
@aquaintsound
Talk to any library scientists (the graduate degree for librarians) about how DRM not only makes our job harder but also limits how we can lend anything digital. Libraries have operated by the "first sale doctrine" for a long time, but it doesn't legally apply to digital materials. We dont get to buy one ebook and own it, we have to license it out for significantly more money. And the ebooks we have to pay so much for are often lacking in quality - not marked with page numbers, full of spelling errors, ect. And dont get me started on the tyrant of audible and how they try to make some books "exclusive" to their site, which is a massive disability rights and accessibility issue. A librarian cant officially support piracy (government bullshit) but many of us unofficially do. We literally arent allowed to preserve video games.

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."
@e-lubb
A little surprised Disco Elysium wasn’t mentioned, considering the devs themselves encourage people to pirate it rather than download it.
