@t8qj4ZSNa7IYCFL Don't speak of old theoreticals that are already proven wrong.
Leave this discussion if you don't have anything new to bring to the table.
@BVG0MppILkmnzqa More or less I suppose.
Then again, hopefully we can reconnect on a better time. I can see that you guys are starting to understand our sentiments, hopefully this dominoes to a better future for both of us.
@BVG0MppILkmnzqa Don't worry, you wouldn't even know when that happens. But we do say we play games, it's up to you to presume whether it's the genuine one or the pirated one.
That being said, we WILL buy if it's being sold. Of course there are dishonest people out there, but where doesn't?
@BVG0MppILkmnzqa That's what we aways wanted, but it's the companies that makes the decisions that created this pointless rift between us.
Outside Japan, we don't give up, we rebel against a system that doesn't serve our best interest in mind. Piracy is one of those ways.
@akinokaze81 If you don't rebel even slightly against a clear oppressive system, it will persist and continue to oppress you.
I went to Japan once and I barely saw a natural smile there. I find that extremely depressing.
@hyperhappa64@ryorekuiemu Lmao, the concept of giving up doesn't exist in my vocabulary. I will get what I want because I don't give up on it.
But that aside, we treat Piracy as both Temporary use, and a Preservation tool.
We Pirate to gain access when there isn't, we also pirate to archive it's Identity.
@hyperhappa64@ryorekuiemu Funny enough, yes. For the last 2 decades even.
We have asked for through legal channels but we kept getting ignored.
Companies that actually listened created profits that made them ask themselves why they didn't do it sooner.
You don't know anything about this subject.
@kurokitora22 You're not living in reality if you truly believe that.
Tekken is proof that even though it's already pirated, people WILL still buy the legit copy when available.
Piracy is proof of demand, if you're smart enough, you can profit from it by giving them what they want.
Killing your own industry through selfishness isn't honorable like you think it is. At best, you're just committing suicide while dragging down others with you.
The sooner you admit you're wrong, the sooner you can start fixing your industry from the inside.
@kamiopets@ixopodtan It's not parasocial to be happy not to see the usual fleshposting without self-harm scars. Is your concept of Empathy that limited or something?
@Mashiro_yuh That's the fun part, we don't let it die a dog's death. We would keep it alive as long as possible, cultivate an audience for it, and sometimes even resuscitate dying IPs.
But that might be a foreign concept to you since you easily give up and let things die.
@hiko_ssasa@MKUltraMoney Lol, what a dumb comparison. Nice try, NEET.
The reason why that wouldn't work because that is currency, not the product.
I know what you're trying to get at, but please, throw me some more funny comparisons. Show me how uneducated you are.
