Satellite Radio

niche streaming services too

All that shit contributes to why piracy is down all well. Having a ton of easy to use services disincentives piracy

People still buy CDs, still pay for streaming music, pay for downloads on Bandcamp, pay for merch, go to concerts

despite, piracy being easier than ever

so

and I promise you, it's not a morality thing

another example

is netflix and etc.

netflix/streaming services lowered the amount of video piracy by a lot

that's the opposite now though

but now with them getting worse, and so many more services

with 10+ streaming services

video piracy is coming back

piracy is ramping back up

yep

Yeah exactly, it is a service problem that leads to piracy

if those services were less shit, it would not go up

anime is so widely pirated in the west because all the services are fucking garbage

and because

most of the viewers

are literal children

so

they are not catering to how I want to consume that media

I don't want shitty 720p streaming from CR

with

censored subs

^

or bad subs

yeah, I get that. They should absolutely not be shit

or no subs at all

based/redpilled subs

which is a lot of the reason I have no issue with just watching anime elsewhere

I don;t want to wait 4 months for Netflix to tell my how whitey gets fucked by her black bull

but with games, steam is allaround a good serivce in my eyes

Which is why I buy a ton of shit on Steam

im judy

It doesn't mean I have an obligation to only use Steam though

just

poor

no

i dont want to be bored

the ability to wait for shit is a good skill to have

That's just it though, piracy is the solution

and it's here

i havent

had a tripple A game to play since sekiro?

There haven't been any good ones

i am fine with waiting.

Or hell, just do what I do and buy 50 cent games on a whim lol

yeah but

despite how i act

its very hard for me to get into a game

extremely hard

90% of games idrop in the first 10 mins

even tripple A games

Same

hell, OCTOPATH, persona 4 and 5, and xc2

all of them

i playe dmaybe anhour

Which is why my solution to piracy is steam instituting a mandatory 5 or so % of the game being free to play

as a demo

and then a few months later finished them

if you could play shit risk free for long enough to determine if you like it, would you not lose the reason to torrent then

They kind of have that with the refund policy

2 hours free

essentially

refund policy was a huge gamechanger

for sure

2 hour tutoriasl

ez

and I would bet (have not seen the stats) game piracy went down slightly as a result

sort of

with Early access and Patreon shit

it's up high again

I think you have a moral duty to steal early access shit

no one wants to use their 2 hours, on Alpha 1.4

games and anime will always be kinda high though

due to kids

until they fucking release their game
