  Since we all know your actual thought without even being told: Making a copy is not theft.

    It is. But I’m not going to argue with you about it.

      Yeah… Because you don’t have a leg to stand on. 🙄

        Naah. It’s because I said my peace and don’t care to bicker with debate-bros that defend devaluing IP because they can’t run it on their shitty decades old PC.

  Shame. It’s a more nuanced discussion than you seem to believe.

    But Rhoeri said they always use nuance in discussions, they couldn’t be defending companies that don’t care about them.

    You think game developers don’t deserve to be paid for their work.

    There is no nuance in this argument, therefore there’s no merit in debating it.

      You think game developers don’t deserve to be paid for their work.

      I literally do not think that though. This is that nuance I was talking about that you’re afraid to engage with. Not everybody pirates games and then never buys them.

      I’m very tight on money and cannot buy every game I’m interested in. So I pirate games and treat them as demos. If I dislike the game, I stop playing it, and no harm is done since I would have either never bought it or refunded it regardless. If I like the game, I’ll buy it at the first opportunity.

      Esoteric Ebb is the most recent example of that, I played it for a few hours and it immediately jumped to the #2 spot on my wishlist. I haven’t bought it yet, but I plan to soon. It’s also recently happened with Schedule I, and this one I actually got. Me pirating the game has literally earned them a sale they otherwise would not have gotten.

        Welp, Rheori said you didn’t do it, I guess your argument is now invalid.
