Holy fucking shit it's like talking to a brick wall. These people are seemingly incapable of understanding who "pirates" and why they "pirate". I keep trying to explain that if I were to make a game, I wouldn't give a damn if people pirate because I just want people to enjoy the game. If people can afford it, cool, share among your friends!
I swear to god these nerds can't understand the corpo isn't "losing revenue" when someone pirates. They either weren't going to buy the game anyway or someone is just trying it out...
These people are just corpo bootlickers 
that's the post 
aaaah
Piracy is basically free advertising for a game. It’s an extended full free trial and pirates join the community of the video game & promote the game through word of mouth. Even as a corpo i would recognize the benefits of video game piracy, given how attempts to prevent it like DRM only inadvertently piss off buyers and dissuade potential customers because of the performance hit. DRM is basically treating your entire fanbase as “criminals” (i dont think crackers are criminals i think they are the unsung heroes of the digital age)
Brand recognition is essential for buyers & for example if i had not had the experience of playing fallout 3 by downloading at 100kbps in 2012 as a kid, at a time when i couldnt even afford the game since i was living in a third world country, i would not have fallout 4 in my steam library!!
