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

Play less things then max

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

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

There also comes those games, that use non of Steams features

you could argue music, but a lot of iphone kiddies are just buying theirs/using spotify because of aforementioned reasons

which to me, is asking me to pirate it

There are so many ways to de-entice me from pirating something

#1 is making a good game

Same reason I back shit on Kickstarter/Fig

There are games I want to exist

see #1 is not even a factor for me because I just do not play bad games

Spiral Scouts

mediocre, would not say bad perse

I just don't think anyone has any obligation to pay to consume media

In all seriousness though, I will buy shit randomly if it is cheap enough

I think there are so many easy ways, to get peope to pay for it nonetheless

and I don't think all games should literally be free
