a game I made in 1995
a game someone else made in 1995 which was later hostilely acquired by EA only to see it immediately fire all staff and shutter the studio
FTFY
RIP Bullfrog (Theme Park, Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper etc.)
Kane Lives!
True, but he plays for Bayern Munich now.
Or Nintendo:
“Stop pirating our old games!!!”
Okay, then sell me one of your old games.
“No.”
More like: Nintendo, “here is an HD remake of that old game you wanted.”
Fans, “We don’t want to pay for old games!”
It’s probably not even made by EA but some company that made good game before being acquired by EA
Of course piracy preserves old games. Also piracy is not a problem when it is miniscule. The issue is when piracy becomes the norm, so that these companies will be pushed towards more locked systems (consoles exclusives) and abandon PC. Some may even call for androud style locking up on PC.
“You wouldn’t download a car, would you?” … yes. Yes. I WOULD. Not that we can 3d print cars just yet. but I would in a heart beat if I could.
If I had a dollar for every car I downloaded for GTA4…
Odd contradiction. I support pirating when a person can’t access media legally (whether due to financials or just dick-moves by corps). However, this is the same logic that writers are striking against with streaming and I sure as hell support them.
Yes you will scream bloody murder about AI pirating from artists. Get it together lol.
Rockstar games grabbed a pirated MAX PAYNE 2 and more!, slapped a price sticker on 'em and uploaded to steam! 🤷🏿♂️ LMAO
pirates rights violation here! 🤣🤣
But you can feast on your sense of pride and accomplishment!
