The real reason why Piracy kills Gaming

[NeoSlyde]

the reason is very simple:
With piracy you can install any game you want !
You may find this great ! But actually no !

When you've too many games to play, but no desire to play them.

Have you ever felt this?
This is the reason why piracy may lead to the death of your desire to play video games..

I’m personally living this.. I have so much AAA games to play and to finish.. but after 5 minutes I just tell myself meh and do another activity like watching anime or YouTube..

Anyone have a solution?

You probably just need a break from games for a couple weeks.

 

[souler92]

piracy exist's as long as games were invented, piracy is still here. so does games...

soo no, ur argument is invalid

piracy doesn't kill games

 

[LightOffPro]

No desire to play them? I can most assuredly guarantee you that i have the desire to play them.

Maybe put down the controller for a bit and go take a walk in the park. You seem burned out.

Actually it’s breaks that caused me this
After a whole year of hard studying and no gaming and now I’m on vacation and I see a whole stack of games to finish
I feel no desire to play them at all

[souler92]

you missed the point of the thread urself...

its not piracy that kills gaming for you, its the lack of dedication to play such games.

so ur killing gaming for yourself, NOT piracy

This isn't a piracy-exclusive problem. The same thing happens to people who buy a bunch of Steam games on sale and never play them. I also got the same way when I started collecting old games which I can get for cheap since they're Japanese. I've had DKC3 for a few months and haven't touched it yet.

Maybe it's just time to move on. There's nothing wrong with that. Maybe a few years down the road something will come along and get you interested again. Or if you still get the urge to play now I would pick the game you're most looking forward to playing and try to stick with it for a while instead of jumping around to a bunch of different games. I get burned out sometimes but usually after I go to work for a few days and don't get time to play I really get that itch to play something.

You are right !!!
I think I found the solution: give yourself goals for a game, like the 100% and don’t move to another game until you finish it

TL;DR - It's not piracy, it's just being human.

When I was a kid, my mom would take me to this video rental store, one of those little ones, not blockbuster. We would rent an NES or SNES game just about every few days. This was around the time NES games were starting to die out and SNES and Genesis were taking off. The owner talks to my mom one day and says "I've got all these NES games that people have brought back saying they don't work. Could your son test these for me and see if it's just their consoles?" After that, I was handed about 6 different games every 3 days. I was in heaven, but I ended up getting this "Piracy Syndrome" you guys are talkin about. I would play one to test it, then lose interest, and try the next one. Only a few were actually broken yet I still didn't play any of them all the way through.

My point is, it's not just piracy, it happens when you have an over-abundance of something whether it's video games or toys or whatever. Steam is a good example too. Anyone here have gigantic library of games on Steam but haven't even started half of them? You bought them. You didn't pirate them. Yet you still don't play them.

Totally true I agree

What kills gaming? The DIGITAL AGE! Anything/Everything digital can and will be hacked. Analog can also be hacked too, it just takes more effort/money...

 

[rdurbin]

yeah same happens to me but even if you don't pirate. The problem is you have so many games to choose from, you end up not investing the time to complete the game. a new game comes out and you move to that. I have like 500 steam games and probably only played maybe 30 of them. Same thing with ps4, I got a 4tb hd almost completely filled with ps4 games (last I checked around 250ish games). Its kind of like cable/satellite tv, hundreds of channels and nothing to watch...Having less games makes it a lot easier to force yourself to finish a game and if you bought the game you may also feel the need to beat it so you feel you got your money's worth. This happens to me with MMORPG, I go back and force when subscribing to games. If I am currently paying for a game, I feel I have to play the game like crazy so I feel I am getting my money's worth. If I only play it casually it gets canceled.

 

[NeoSlyde]

Now I understand also why games like Fortnite or Rocket League are so addictive
You have a goal !
Like for fortnite is to get the first place
And rocket league is to go until grand champion
Which make you stick to these

 

[gameboy]

imagine paying $60 and you decide the game isnt worth playing after getting to the save point. that was me when i had my ps4, a lot of money wasted

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

does anyone remember the release of Medal of Honor for ps3? I went to a gamestop that release weekend and the shelf was full of 'used' copies. Which means those people bought it and knew immediately they werent going to devote their time into it and immediately sold it. Im sure Gamestop took a big hit from that game to the point where they would only buy it back for $1 instead of giving the typical 60% on release week

So if I play pirated I won’t spend money
