This post is about student loans

And video game piracy. Also free housing. Pretty much anywhere where finances are involved, some people want to fuck the next generation instead of helping them.

Wait why piracy all of a sudden. Didn’t we agree that people who don’t buy games won’t buy them anyway even if piracy didn’t exist? Thus the denuvo lack of purpose because it doesn’t raise sales. Yet many of those same folks are willing to pay to indie devs even if their games are often laughably easy to pirate. It’s about the principles.

For example Hollywood is such rotten hive of misogynist assholes that one may not want to fund them. Or not get royalty to Rowling for the potter game.

By starving bad companies we have a personal freedom to leave generations with only the best devs and brands such as Larian-motherfuking-Studios.

Hell if it wasn’t so risky IRL I’d probably steal Nestle food by tons and share it too. Let’s leave generations without that company.

"You guys should install denuvo into your game because console players have to pay to play it but on PC you can just pirate it. It's not fair for them to get to play it for free while we had to buy it"

That's why we should decriminalize pirating because it's unfair for those who did it and didn't get caught (which is the majority) or rather the companies who suffered from that.

You wouldn't criminalize drinking clear water

How about slowing the trolley down then, instead of stopping it. Would that be a deal?
