I know they’re probably joking, but the Steam forums are so generally unhinged that I wouldn’t be surprised if this person is serious.

    I get the FitGirl repacks of Empress cracks because:

    1. Trans girl pirates are way cooler than transphobe pirates.
    2. Empress fucking hates it.

    Plenty of people claim fitgirl is trans, but I don't think she's ever said she is herself

    Huh. It would make sense that Empress completely made it up. Transphobes aren’t exactly smart, plenty have called cis women trans IRL before. I’ll be honest, I read this tweet and believed it: https://x.com/furmerly/status/1658138307769802752

    my fave is when they e.g. tell a trans man "you'll never be a woman!", it must be so viciously validating to have someone who hates your existence be unable to tell that you were assigned a different gender at birth

    No one makes demos for their games anymore. I’m not gambling on whether I’m gonna like a game with the cost of AAA titles these days. Piracy is amazingly handy for that.

    That is the number 1 reason for me too. Although steam solves this problem partially with their return policy. But I don't want to pay the price upfront everytime, so I resolve to piracy until I know if I want to buy the game.

    "Piracy is not a service problem and can only be curbed by utilising SecuRom and denuvo drm. This also will make the game less compatible in the future so that people will also buy your remasters."

    Something along those lines it was?

    Buying a game on steam gives you achievements cloud saves easier proton integration and the ability to play online

    Also the ease of use, automatic game updates, and supporting game development.

    DRM makes me not want to support the game development.

    I agree that you shouldn't go pirating small indie titles because independent artists becoming more financially successful is the object of the exercise. But a triple-A title is free game to me.

    The only games I've ever pirated are the ones that have denuvo DRM ironically, lol.

    Games are cheap to buy if they are good and worthwhile.

    It's when the studios try and bait and switch us that I have a problem, or purposefully slow down and punish paying customers because they are disabled by the fear of a few pirates by adding worthless DRM.

    I am certain there is not a single Denuvo game that the DRM actually caused them to make more money than simply launching without it..

    People in the industry are being taken for a ride...

    If I love a game enough, I am eager to support the devs. I also know that buying an AAA game doesn't support the devs, it supports people like Bobby Kotick and Randy Pitchford.

    So when it comes to AAA games, either I pirate the game, or...

    ... in more recent years, I don't pirate the game.
