A shitty gaming studio that loves to ruin game franchises
EA and Ubisoft are responsible for ruining more of my favorite game franchies than I think all others combined.
If it's EA then "skimmed profits off the top of" is probably more accurate than "made".
But you can feast on your sense of pride and accomplishment!
Rockstar games grabbed a pirated MAX PAYNE 2 and more!, slapped a price sticker on 'em and uploaded to steam! 🤷🏿♂️ LMAO
don't copy that floppy https://www.google.com/search?q=don%27t+copy+that+floppy
Devil's advocate: is the time spent playing a pirated retro game still a kind of lost revenue, since you could be spending your time buying and playing all their new shit? I say this as a long-time retro gamer who finally broke down and bought some new shit recently.
Going to work is lost revenue.
Yeah, game companies should be lobbying for UBI for everyone
In a sense I guess? But then it’s still their fault for not keeping it available for purchase.
Or they pull a Nintendo "Heres a game we made 20 years ago. That will be $50"
Yes, just as much as when someone dares to enjoy a different hobby.
We are just statistics to them.
I'd say no, because they don't own your time by default.
Odd contradiction. I support pirating when a person can't access media legally (whether due to financials or just dick-moves by corps). However, this is the same logic that writers are striking against with streaming and I sure as hell support them.
