lol okay wow. I bet you hate the idea of used game sales too. I guess I better not ever buy a game at any price but full price too! Gotta maximize that growth for that faceless corporation that doesn't care about me!More growth is good too, I want the companies I enjoy content from toget the most out of what they put out. And not all companies are breaking records and being successful, some or doing ok or just getting by. Again, not going to feel bad for being called a corporate bootlicker.

*spongebob imagination hand wave* capitalismI never thought companies care about me other than a number. I care about them though and the people that work in them.

I still see this happening to this day. The only thing that changed is the quality of the covers.I come from the era of mother fuckers in barber shops with a whole ass bag of bootleg films for sale. Yes its normal and no one cares.
It was a jackass move and I wouldn't be surprised if you have no friends at work.It was an immediate reaction to what he said; I didn't think it through.
how much money do you think the creators themselves are getting from the product after they've made and shipped the producthonestly i put used games, sharing netflix accounts, etc. the same as piracy. the actual creator's aint gettin that money

I think someone missed the weekend window. But doesn't want to wait to this weekend. 🤣
No, that is potentially even more growth that is not occurring. It just means thankfully there is a large percentage of people that are actually willing to pay for their entertainment rather than feel entitled to it.
Anecdotal but I'm pretty sure a large part of the reason I try to pay full price for games nowadays is because of all the piracy I used to do when I was younger.Studies and simple logic say/show that someone exposed to something for 'free' is far more likely to actually pay money for that thing in the future. So no, eliminating piracy would probably be a net negative for most industries. Most publishers happily trade a little margin for better word of mouth. That's essentially what marketing is to begin with anyways.
Steam has been around how long and we still have people not understanding the core tenets: some pirates are not and never will be your paying customers AND that piracy is largely a service problem for the ones that want to support you.
Imagine!Picturing a world where we collectively cared about class, race, bigotry, and the environment like we do the copyright privileges of megacorporations.
It's a stark difference.
The same corporations you care so deeply about also lobby the government to get out of paying their fair share in taxes. They don't give a fuck about you.I never thought companies care about me other than a number. I care about them though and the people that work in them.
Sometimes I feel like ResetEra is filled with a bunch of weirdos.

Don't you know people who smoke weed? Or do other substances that are illegal?
EDIT: Also, what was that meme from years ago? Something along the lines of, "Congratulations, your house is about to get raided by the cops!"?
"Before we begin, allow me to show you just how far video games have come..."I agree that OP should go to HR, but OP should be smart. HR probably isn't a Gamer, so OP should prepare a presentation about how Dragon Quest has struggled to get a foothold in the West, and how admitting to a crime that reduces sales for the series in the West could possibly lead to future spinoff not being translated.
