Piracy isnt stealing no matter what. It is just a copyright infringement. Stealing means forcibly taking something from somebody else. When pirating you are not directly harming the original creator, you just geting it for yourself for free but the owner still has accest to it.

@@notalamenameyes, steam is not bad as a platform. their sales are frequent and there are usually some good games available for cheap. it's also nice when games integrate well with their API, so you can join your friend in some game by just clicking "join game" beneath his name. steam has been consistent over the years so i really can't hate on it. what nobody asked for was for ubisoft to make their stupid platform and require you to sign in and run some uplay garbage in the background every time you want to play a game. as if people are going to start using their idiotic platform when we have things like discord and steam. I don't even play ubisoft games anymore because i hate uplay that much - just trying to play far cry 3 which i have had for many years requires me to sign in, and then there's some issue starting the game so i have to restart uplay and sign in again, and maybe it works this time but maybe not, and that's when i give up and play minecraft
You forgot the part where the player is like "DAMMMNNNNN" and buys the game after. Most pirates players have very few clams to spend so usually I try the games before buying them.
Same here, I feel like it’s a relatively good policy, because you don’t spend $70 for a piece of shit game, and can tell if you want to actually buy it or not, without coming to the conclusion 2.1 hours after playing.
You're not even loosing any money if someone pirates your game. I mean just like on the video most people pirate when they can't afford a legal purchase so they wouldn't buy your game anyway
@@IAmFlashTeamYT i said most, not all. And pracy is not a good way to save money if you can afford the game. I mean the priated game that you're downloading could be a virus
Honestly if you look at statustics then most piracy rates are heavily exaggerated. Pirates who would've paid otherwise have never been a majority or even a substantial minority. Piracy alone will never make or break a release. And for indie devs piracy often works as viable advertisement, as the visibility they get can get lead to more sales in the long run than short-term losses from piracy.
I only pirated games I couldn't buy (or when I didn't have an bank account). Majority of games I pirated are old games like gba games, so pirating them doesn't steal any money from nintendo, I'm just not giving money to the guy selling them overpriced on ebay. The few recent games I pirated I already bought or plan on buying when I'm able to. I know I can't speak for everyone, but I heard many similar stories. If someone really likes a game, they will buy it even if pirating is an easier option, even if they already pirated it they will buy it. If someone doesn't like a game that much, they wouldn't by the game in the first place.
Ну так то да, но если ты, например, ребёнок, ты все равно её не сможешь купить + у студентов тоже денег немного Yes, but if you, for example, a kid, you have no money, and you can't buy it + students also have no money
Funny thing, piracy can even get more sells to the game. Cuz if you can try game and play it more than "one level", you can get hooked on and buy game and support good game developer.
Your ISP will send you DMCA/C&D Threats and will cut off your internet access and blacklist you from ever joining their service again. You are more better off with a VPN
Chek the ppl that are dead. How many games they have under the ground, same as all others. But how much did they pay for them? That is where piracy makes every1 even.
For me, piracy is not bad. Im a pirate, because i cant buy games on Steam (im from Russia) But, if i like the game, i will buy it in the future. For example, Pizza Tower. I played a pirate version of it and i liked it so i bought this game legal on Steam.
Same with me an Undertale and Minecraft. Love ya bro (Also, is it really stealing if I'm pirating GBA games? It's not like nintendo would gain any money, the only person that would earn cash is the perosn on ebay selling the games overpriced so...)
@@tpfoxCastroIt'd depend on who you ask. If you ask Nintendo, then you're the scum of the Earth. If you ask anyone else, they wouldn't really care much /j
@@tpfoxCastro the point has been established, pirating was never stealing nintendo would not be very happy with any kind of pirating though, for the assholes they are (better watch out for their legal team)
@@tpfoxCastroit is pirating by law and there were many precedents with nintendo specifically trying to punish people for that. Pure bs if you ask me, they don't want someone else to use their stuff, but they also don't distribute it themselves, even tho lots of it is still popular
@@JRPGLOVER From the "publisher" pov. Creator only gets a small share of profit, most money they got for the development itself. (Also Steam is not a publisher really, it's a platform)
My piracy depends on which studio is making the game For Rockstar,CDPR,Bethesda,Santa Monica,Naughty Dogs and for Indy game devs i bought their games But for Ubi$oft, Activision , EA i sail the seas
The reason why piracy is so highly developed in Russia and there are no laws that prohibit us from doing this. Therefore, after Steam banned people from buying games from Russia, we will not stop playing them, but we will just download them for free, and they will not do anything for us :)
@@iroh231да это не то чтобы страшно. Все игры что нам недоступны в том же steam спокойно можно купить у проверенных продавцов из других не официальных магазинах. И бывает даже так что цены ниже. Ну а пиратство у нас было чуть ли не всегда. Помню ларёк с играми что раньше стоял в моем посёлке и большинство из них были просто репаками на болванке
If I remember correctly only the uploader of the content is breaking copyright law, so only they would be persecuted. Along with the fact that they likely bought the content which they are uploading makes this whole piracy thing more like an illicit charity. Which is a strange to say, as it makes me think about those charities exploiting and lying to the masses to enrich themselves. But those aren't charitable at all.
I definitely appreciate how you acknowledged that Piracy is a service-issue with that third guy trying to pay but being unable to rather than just people who will never want to pay
@@elcabroneezaker6527 how can they sell AC games on steam if the games are in ubisoft launcher and not trully on steam? XD Im really hope them to close door with all the DEI shit thats happening

Bad logic, they spend years working on the game. not like it just generates itself. But you should be careful where you spend your money, not all games deserve your hard earned money.
@@zweihander00you may be correct now, but dont worry! Soon enough we will have ai generated games and they will be just as good as aaa games (because most of them make shitty games anyway LOL)
@@jismeraiverhoeven I don't think ai will ever be able to generate whole games, it's not that simple. But yes most AAA games are bad for example the latest exclusiv of playstation forspoken and rise of the ronin were bad games. I am in no spot of being able to buy these games so I just live the pirate life, not like these multibilliob companies will be hurt because of me or another thousand of me
Big company CEOs are the reason why game prices are increasing. They need to appear infinitely growing in a finite world. The extra money neither goes toward the employee's pocket nor goes toward to make a better product.
That's what I'm saying! Do you know what's funny? I have pirated some indie games. But EVERY SINGLE indie game I pirated I ended buying few years later and if not on some of them, I still plan too when I can
@@tpfoxCastro Because pirating games that you can't afford to buy, but are definitely worth supporting, are a net positive for everyone. You get to enjoy a great game and then later you can support the creator in kind when you get the money to actually buy it. Both sides win
The fun part is that sometimes, pirates get better versions of some games, compared to people that legally purchased the games lol A video of "How DRM works and how it sometimes fucks people that payed for these games" would be nice too and even funnier lol
After 8 years of wondering how the piracy works, this video finally cleared that fog in my mind. Thank you for your simple yet very elaborate educational video!
Уже 15 лет пирачу видеоигры. За все эти годы у меня были только 4 лицензии, все остальные игры (100-300) - пиратские копии. Также и с любой другой интеллектуальной собственностью: фильмы, книги, музыка
My code is that if buying the game doesn’t support the devs, piracy is ok. Example: PS2 games. You can't purchase them at a gamestop anymore. If you can't buy them on Steam, Epic Games, GOG or any other official digital store. Don't pay 5 times its actual price on Ebay. Pirate and emulate it.
"If buying isnt owning, then piracy isnt stealing" Perfectly for the game The Crew NFS series from 1990s to 2011 and other forgotten games like Driver San Francisco
Can you truly buy 1's and 0's? can you buy an idea, a concept? what if your 1's and 0's are easily duplicated and thus in theory had infinite supply? could you sell Air?
@@JRPGLOVERuh... people don't buy oxygen tanks like propane tanks, those things are way more expensive, and usually any center will pump the air for free
This is on the same level as stealing the wallet of a mob boss lol Piracy wouldn't be stealing, but my point is that I doubt it is justified to deny payment to a "bad" publisher for simply being bad, given you are able to afford the game properly and the game is well made. I'd suggest separating the creator from the creation.
@@idkwhattotype511This exactly. I still love Nintendo because they still know how to make amazing games still, but man as a business, they constantly leave me going "but why?" Why on earth did they refuse to acknowledge the joy-con drift despite all the proof, and what on earth compelled them to think limiting how long games like 3D Mario all stars and some others for just a short while then they're gone forever?
I guess it only matters for multiplayer. Pirating a copy to play online with your friend means two copies are required, vs playing at a friend's house means you're missing that feature. Also, you should look up the new family share steam is rolling out
the difference is, for the former developers received money while for the latter they don't unless you meant: "someone's friend bought the game while said person pirated it", in which case i don't think there's any real difference

I think that's just being responsible with your money. Most people want to know if they're buying delicious food or poison before eating. Those who buy alcohol and cigs need to know they actually buy poison before buying, for example

@@notalamenameyes, steam is not bad as a platform. their sales are frequent and there are usually some good games available for cheap. it's also nice when games integrate well with their API, so you can join your friend in some game by just clicking "join game" beneath his name. steam has been consistent over the years so i really can't hate on it. what nobody asked for was for ubisoft to make their stupid platform and require you to sign in and run some uplay garbage in the background every time you want to play a game. as if people are going to start using their idiotic platform when we have things like discord and steam. I don't even play ubisoft games anymore because i hate uplay that much - just trying to play far cry 3 which i have had for many years requires me to sign in, and then there's some issue starting the game so i have to restart uplay and sign in again, and maybe it works this time but maybe not, and that's when i give up and play minecraft
You forgot the part where the player is like "DAMMMNNNNN" and buys the game after.
Most pirates players have very few clams to spend so usually I try the games before buying them.
Same here, I feel like it’s a relatively good policy, because you don’t spend $70 for a piece of shit game, and can tell if you want to actually buy it or not, without coming to the conclusion 2.1 hours after playing.
This is so real. I pirated minecraft when I was younger and now I have the real game.
You're not even loosing any money if someone pirates your game. I mean just like on the video most people pirate when they can't afford a legal purchase so they wouldn't buy your game anyway

@@IAmFlashTeamYT i said most, not all. And pracy is not a good way to save money if you can afford the game. I mean the priated game that you're downloading could be a virus
Honestly if you look at statustics then most piracy rates are heavily exaggerated. Pirates who would've paid otherwise have never been a majority or even a substantial minority. Piracy alone will never make or break a release.
And for indie devs piracy often works as viable advertisement, as the visibility they get can get lead to more sales in the long run than short-term losses from piracy.
And the other thing is that if the game is so good they might buy at a later time because they feel bad and want to support it
I only pirated games I couldn't buy (or when I didn't have an bank account). Majority of games I pirated are old games like gba games, so pirating them doesn't steal any money from nintendo, I'm just not giving money to the guy selling them overpriced on ebay. The few recent games I pirated I already bought or plan on buying when I'm able to. I know I can't speak for everyone, but I heard many similar stories. If someone really likes a game, they will buy it even if pirating is an easier option, even if they already pirated it they will buy it. If someone doesn't like a game that much, they wouldn't by the game in the first place.

Piracy is caused by a service problem. If the service is trash, then there will be a piracy. It is what it is I suppose
If I remember correctly only the uploader of the content is breaking copyright law, so only they would be persecuted. Along with the fact that they likely bought the content which they are uploading makes this whole piracy thing more like an illicit charity. Which is a strange to say, as it makes me think about those charities exploiting and lying to the masses to enrich themselves. But those aren't charitable at all.

It's only piracy if you can actually own the product you buy. We aren't paying for a service, yet it is treated like one.
The thing is, it's stupid enough to pay $70 of a software where they can unlimitedly copy them for profit
I'd be okay to pay that amount if I can get physical copy with stuff and souvenirs included
Bad logic, they spend years working on the game. not like it just generates itself.
But you should be careful where you spend your money, not all games deserve your hard earned money.

The question is, what is the consequential differwnce between playing a game your friend bought and pirating? They seem the exact same
If you just borrow the game, it's nothing. If you copy the owned game, then it's considered piracy.
@@JRPGLOVER I know but what's the difference in terms of how it affects the devs?
I guess it only matters for multiplayer.
Pirating a copy to play online with your friend means two copies are required, vs playing at a friend's house means you're missing that feature.
Also, you should look up the new family share steam is rolling out
They are the same. The only difference is the company can't stop you from lending your physical copy to a friend.
the difference is, for the former developers received money while for the latter they don't
unless you meant: "someone's friend bought the game while said person pirated it", in which case i don't think there's any real difference
the guy who both buys and pirates the game: my goals are beyond your understanding
Great! Now explain how CD keys work like G2A and where they obtained it (Devs hate key resellers more than us pirating their games).
