And I have news for YOU. I WILL keep on supporting the piracy of unoptimised, incomplete garbage games, that use the preorders as beta testers, famous examples being Gollum and Cyberpunk 77. In comparison, I see no problem paying for quality games like Skyrim, or games that have fixed their issues, like Shadow of War removing the microtransactions and fixing most of the bugs. But crap like Gollum (the game, I have a sort of respect and pity for the character) has no place on my system, even if I had Duck Tales money, even if I had a 2 TB RAM, multiple 4090s or whatever the latest overpriced Nvidia crap is, and the latest, most powerful, server level CPUs, with like 128 cores or something, I still wouldn't buy and play this garbage. Alright?
I velieve rhis shpuld be done to teach the lazy bastards in management in those game companies, that if you want good sales, you have to take things a bit slower and poliah the product out. Unfortunately, it seems that they don't give a fuck, because Denuvo protects their games during the first few months of sales, when they make a profit on the garbage they've made. Then they do some bug fixing and move on to the next cash cow. That's how the gaming industry works. And I don't know about you, but I do NOT want to support this mess.
You're not making any sense dude, are you a masochist or what? You so vehemently say how bad, unfinished, unpolished and garbage these games are and yet you go out of your way to pirate them and play them, even if you hate it and rant about how you wouldn't install them even if you had a quantum pc.
Also, you pirates argue that pirating doesn't really affect companies, that once you decide not to buy thier stuff pirating doesn't make any difference, so how that would "teach them"?. To me, seems like a childish way to get back at them then, you know you're doing nothing and yet you choose to do so. So irrational and ridiculous.
That's what I hate about you pirates, you HAVE to consume no matter what, even if it's crap you don't even like, who is the greedy one, companies or you that steal just to munch on trash?
You're the toxic Bungie fan. These days, munching trash is your job!
Nah. They become not-trash when they get the bugs fixed. With what I'm doing I'm hoping to send a message that this way of doing things sucks!
