Video game piracy is a DEEPLY interesting underground community. The video game crackers spend countless hours using their creative genius to break the anti-tampering software built into video games, which costs hundreds of thousands to maintain, and they do it all for free-only at the cost of their mental well-being.

[@therealdeathbeast]

In my opinion, piracy emerged from the growing need for game preservation and access. Some people just can't access certain games in their countries, or game companies simply stop selling those games for no reason most of the time. This with the new ideology of not owning your games that you PAID for simply makes piracy a more justified act. Again, you've probably heard it but I'll say it again: "If BUYING isn't OWNING, then PIRACY isn't STEALING".

[@pah967]

where you have a point, bro you're acting like piracy suddenly appeared in 2016.. the truth is that back in the day of most games being offline or local mp, piracy was basically what gave most access to games they couldn't find OR afford

[@maiden5427]

No the main reason is money. The price of games is based on production cost and average household income in the west. $60 is pocket change some of you guys in comparison to less wealthy countries. A $60 game when compared to the average household income in the 3rd world, is equivalent to paying $1000 for a video game in the US. Game developers will never adjust prices based on region, so they will offer a fair price based on where they expect 90% of sales to come from and forget about the rest. As a result those who cannot afford the price of a newly released AAA game will end up getting a pirated version of the game.

[@hvsciverius]

true, back in 200x, GBA and NDS were virtually hard to buy in my country so we play roms downloaded from the internet.

[@NatrajChaturvedi]

The cost being way way too high making the game simply unavailable to you can be called as it being unaccessible. Westerners dont get it but paying like half of your salary for one game was an insane proposition for people in many poorer countries. These days, many companies use regional pricing and global economy has made things much better but it was a BAD situation back in 2000's and 90's.

[@alexk9295]

Piracy in games (or any media) has existed for a long long time. Back in the 80's we played on MSX and C64 with games on cassette tape and all our games were pirated.

I believe games like the crew should be designed in a way where when the main server from the company goes down, people can host their own servers. But it's completely unreasonable to expect a company to keep the servers up for a game that has had about 30 daily players for about 1 year. At a certain point, it costs more to keep the servers up than they make from the few remaining players.

Piracy is a good thing. My reasons will be below, but it will probably be a, pretty lengthy post: 1. I pirated almost every game I played during a period when I was homeless, and then later had a home but was dirt poor. Pirating is good because joy should not be a commodity only afforded by rich people. 2. I largely stopped pirating games now due to being able to afford things. But the gaming industry as a whole has completely lost my trust. Demos aren't that much of a thing anymore, so all I have to go on legally are trailers and gameplay footage which is mostly all lies these days. So if I'm interested in a game, but I'm not sure if it's worth my money I turn to piracy. Pirating is good because giving money to companies who lie about their products is bad. 3. The majority of piracy I do these days are for really old games, either ones I missed during childhood, or ones I remember from my childhood. GOG is where I usually look first, but they don't have everything. In example, I've been enjoying the Ratchet and Clank games on my Steam Deck recently. Pirating is good because without it certain games would be well and truly gone. 4. The Steam Deck is the closest thing I bought to a dedicated gaming console. If I would want to play whatever game I want legally I'd need to buy every console that's been on the market for the past 10 years, as well as the games for them. The big N doesn't sell Breath of the Wild on Steam, and I'm not buying a whole Switch just to play one game. Piracy is good because, combined with emulation, it gives the freedom to play something on whatever platform you want.

Trying to prevent piracy through DRM technologies is essentially gate keeping because the companies can't obligate anyone that can't (or don't want to) support them. Piracy is another excuse for them to try to control what you digitally purchased from them and DMCA already gives them a bunch of privileges to make that possible. If Stop Killing Games suceeds it won't make DRM illegal but the main goal is creating a legislation that punish the companies that don't give us offline patches at EOL.

Get this, in my country the average middle class salary is like R3500 a month which is about $200, and lets say to buy MW3 the new one will cost you about R1499 which is roughly $79.

[@Gabi2311HighPing]

I'm in the 2nd world and I've never pirated it because I like having the games on steam because it looks nicer, if I have it on Epic Games I'll buy it again on steam

Starts with N and ends with O. It is their motto. They chant it during meetings about piracy. It is why they go so hard against violators.

Here in Pakistan if you visit any video game store to buy a game for your computer You're mostly going to see games on the shelves like Grand theft Auto Superman, GTA Hyderabad or Resident Evil games cracked. So when you are going to buy a CD insert in your computer only for it to show a repack or cracked game. Yeah that's how things has been running here since like past 20 years. It's a failing economy and video games are seen by adults of nothing more than just childish waste of time. I mean you would see like 5-year-olds buying GTA and manhunt from your local game store here cuz it's not an official game store to begin with it's just pirated stuff left and right. Now if this was U.K or US You would have proper brands like GameStop or any other popular game shop where you buy games by showing your ID card and own the copy.

Personally i think that companies should make a game open source if they dont do anything with it after like 5-10 years.... we are preserving a lot of stuff with pirates and emulators developers but history is full of lost media and im actually very mad about it. Imagine in like 100 years when people cant experience our favourite media... thats just sad

[@Afahs993]

I just want to say, thanks for all the hardworking "Pirates" that make all these games free & easy to get. And thanks for this good content in explaining it. "If buying isnt owning, then piracy isn't stealing"

[@jaypatel0088]

Pirating isn't a good thing guys. Never was. Some of our og games get killed, i am not 100% sure but maybe project igi is got derailed because of this. What goes around comes around..

"🗣🗣DO WHAT YOU WANT CUZ A PIRATE IS FREE,YOU ARE A PIRATE🗣🗣"

[@pmxroo]

just imagine im in a country which dont have any copyright rule like nothing you can just use everything and its legal

[@xSkysilver]

The only time pirating is bad is when it's from people who don't deserve it. Like indie devs vs companies who copy paste the same game every year and make millions of dollars

[@watchcription8599]

yeah fitgirl compressed portal collection from 47gb to 10gb but installment took me almost 2 hour in 4gb ram

[@ayeshfernando894]

[@dreedee]

Skidrow waz there in '94 skidrow iz here in '24 keep 'em commin'

[@hxzed.l]

here in the Philippines every game is expensive asf so being a pirate is my life like for example minecraft costs 1750 php and that alone can buy a ton of things like food but why waste that much money for a simple game when i can just pirate it

[@defaultuser3661]

u can test drive some cars though before u buy it but also alot of places dont let you do that
