hell man, if i could download a laptop i would. if i could 3d print a functional car i would. finders keepers losers weepers.
cheating is really easy in exams, so does it justify cheating ?"Incredibly easy to do. take sky3ds for example. literally just drag and drop your BACKUPS"
i love it when people make baseless assumption."game devs don't really care. besides ubisoft of course. but those guys just suck in general lol."
you stole their hard-work you little theif, that what you did not get free games but steal games."You basically get free games from the developers. this is so much money saved.
you practically stole 2160$ worth of games, nice going"Let's use myself as an example. i have like 54 games that i picked up after they fell off a truck. when 3ds games come out, they are 39.99 aka 40$. 40 x 54 is 2160. that means i just saved $2160."
what are you huhing about.>.By using .cias we have access to online capabilities. same stuff the legit people do.
Huh?
Let's not mix terms here, piracy is not theft, you're not actually stealing anything, you're creating/using/acquiring an unauthorized copy which is a different matter altogether.you can never justify theft, playing with pirated ROMs is theft
100% agree with you here.There's a variety of reasons why people don't pirate. In fact, there's many reasons why people shouldn't. I'll give you four major ones:
- Supporting game developers. If video game development stops being profitable, less and less games will be developed - it's as simple as that. Developers don't work for free - they need to support their families.
- Collector's purposes. Some people enjoy having hefty collections of video games. In a lot of ways they're almost like decorations you keep on your shelf.
- Hassle-free. All you have to do to play a game is put it in your system. Meanwhile, piracy usually requires you to either modify your software (which is often connected with risks, not to mention that it requires a deal of tech knowledge and courage).
- Some people are just more grown up and have a job. The frequency of piracy is often connected with how old the user is and whether or not the user has disposable income. Some people don't pirate simply because they have the money to spare for their video game habit, so why even bother?
It's the first two for me. I install homebrew anyway, so it's not much of a hassle to pirate something. As for the last point on your list, ask around, I'm sure you'll find many people here who feel I need to grow up.There's a variety of reasons why people don't pirate.

Well how bout rom translations? what about custom roms like pokemon volt black. see piracy is a full on grey area. sometimes you pirate out of necessity. you want that game but your rent comes first. By the time you can afford that game, it's sequel is already out and you keep getting left in the dust. Now there are some legitimate titles I purchase because they are beloved enough worthy of purchasing. Like pokemon, mario zelda etc. But you expect me to pay $40 for what might be a glorified android app like angry birds? No, not just no, hell no. this is where Piracy comes in it's me saying your game is so crappy that i'm not spending money on it or I bought your game but there is no way in hell i'm spending $20 just for a little extra content. Piracy does save your money for what you judge as good games. No way in hell i'm spending $40 on angry birds, cut the rope or any of that crap. I rather spend that on something that's fun like omega ruby or alpha sapphire. in short it's saving money on what really is crap. also doing stuff you can't do on stock like imports, custom rom hacks, or translations.
