They wouldn't have bought it at all if it wasn't half price, retard.because buying it at less than half the price they would have bought it earlier is so charitable.

Maybe. But if they didn't have that option, would they really have not bought, or would they have bought it earlier? I really doubt that they would have that kind of impulse control.Better than not buying it at all.

If it was worth it to you and you really were just demoing it, you would buy immediately. You don't "demo" a game and buy it years later.
This isn't a case of them wanting to support the devs, this is the case of them seeing it on sale and making an impulse purchase to add it to their collection or replay it again.
Niggers, if you're going to steal [read: not remove from an inventory], at least be honest about it.

for the same reason someone waits until a product is on sale to buy it?Back in the late 80s and early 90s everybody pirated games due to the cost, but apparently a lot of pirates can't leave it at that anymore. No, now there's all these tacked on extra reasons, the most insane of which is 'this game is buggy/crap!' Why in the blue hell would you want to play it then? Are you so flaccid, so weak-willed as to partake in an awful experience just because it's free? If I give you free samples of sausage rolls stuffed with dog shit, would you stuff down a handful and put the rest in a bag for later? When did the thought of skipping a game or waiting for a patch become utterly unfathomable?

If that was the case, thousands of people wouldn't be pirating Denuvo games the second they get cracked.But if they didn't have that option, would they really have not bought, or would they have bought it earlier? I really doubt that they would have that kind of impulse control.
"Worth it" is subjective. A lot of pirates live in poorer countries when they can't afford buying a 60$ game or are students who don't have jobs or a lot of money. Someone may see 15$ for a 3 year old game as "worth it" but not 60$ for a brand new one.If it was worth it to you and you really were just demoing it, you would buy immediately.

I think alot of people defend pirating trying to not feel guilty of sabotaging the developers of the games they enjoyed but this is a fair point, it is very hard to get reliable information on the internet, big site reviewers are fucking scum, on the codex, things tend to become way too passionate with haters and fanboys fighting over their egos instead over the objective reality of the game so, you many times must go with your own opinion but just blindly buying a potentially bad game only reward bad game developers and waste your time and money, so you have to demo it.Basicallly. I think the last thing I pirated (technically a then-friend insisted on pirating it for me, but piracy-by-proxy is still piracy) was Bioshit Infinite. Then-friend thought it was amazing and deep and was trying to get me on board with that shit. (I'm fucking glad I didn't waste money on that steaming pile, in retrospect.)
What are you even talking about here? How does that refute my statement on impulse control?If that was the case, thousands of people wouldn't be pirating Denuvo games the second they get cracked.
Many poorer countries have different pricing tiers on Steam. In Russia, KCD is under $25."Worth it" is subjective.

Believe it or not, I bought Witcher 3 at full price, possibly the same month it was released. I did that after seeing that I like the game, and I already had about 60 hours of playing it, by rough estimation. So I thought "If I buy it now, it has already paid for itself".They wouldn't have bought it at all if it wasn't half price, retard.
Inb4 "waiting for a discount and playing pirated in the meantime is theft!"for the same reason someone waits until a product is on sale to buy it?Back in the late 80s and early 90s everybody pirated games due to the cost, but apparently a lot of pirates can't leave it at that anymore.

A consumer might not think a defective product is worth $60, but they may be more open to it at $20. When the only options given are $60 or create a magical copy of it, well…
If pirates didn't have impulse control then Denuvo would be successful and no one would pirate the game months after they have been launched but just cracked, but that's not the case, thousands of people still pirate Denuvo games.What are you even talking about here? How does that refute my statement on impulse control?
Because they want to play it now and not wait for a uncertain amount of time?Many poorer countries have different pricing tiers on Steam. In Russia, KCD is under $25.
In the few countries that don't have such lower pricing, why not just wait? No one is forcing you to play it now.
Because a computer is a much more long term investment that you will probably use for thousands of hours, while a computer game can last only 15 hours, and games have settings so even people with slow and old computers can play games at lower settings.And isn't it funny how you can afford the hardware to play the latest games, but "can't afford" the games themselves.

Lets be honest here, demo is more like finishing the game or deleting it and forgetting about it. My principle for buying a game is very simple. Eater i buy a game on release that i am certain that i will like...like the glorious ELEX. Or i have some money and decide to give it for a game,then i buy a game that i remember fondly and it is not owned by some massive scumbag publisher. Preferably i try to give it to a existing dev that is still going on. Honestly don't care for sales unless they are some super old classic. I don't pretend to be some shiny knight of moral virtue,i do what i believe it is right,the rest of the world could burn for all i care. I do live by my principles and views,don't care much for opposite opinions. They are grown man with a head on their shoulders,they have their views and principles,the life goes on.I think alot of people defend pirating trying to not feel guilty of sabotaging the developers of the games they enjoyed but this is a fair point, it is very hard to get reliable information on the internet, big site reviewers are fucking scum, on the codex, things tend to become way too passionate with haters and fanboys fighting over their egos instead over the objective reality of the game so, you many times must go with your own opinion but just blindly buying a potentially bad game only reward bad game developers and waste your time and money, so you have to demo it.Basicallly.

Some games like Dragon Age Inquisition and Biocock Infinite are so bad that their shitness is pretty much self evident. On this game however, the evidence I had before buying was pretty positive.
The world is not simply black and white mate. There are more than one reason to pirate,to be honest there are many reasons. One of them is because of money. Why do you hate piracy??? Are you working for EA and you are afraid for you job because of dangerous pirates?Wow u ppl refuse to admit you pirate stuff because it's free. You know what else is free? Gloryholes. So since you're playing a pirate copy and waiting for the next patch/crack then you might as well put your butt in the hole and get some free AIDS while you're at it. Fucking pirates, by Gaben...
The only games I've pirated "because they are free" in recent years have been AAA crap, like Fallout 4, to spend 5-10 hours on and then delete. I simply don't have the time to play games I don't enjoy and respect, and for those games, I am compelled to pay, even if they are available for free.Wow u ppl refuse to admit you pirate stuff because it's free.

Whoa, look out for Mr. Badass over here. Imagine getting so mad over people copying data online that you want them to die.If you pirate games, you're a stupid piece of shit and a thieving asshole. I hope you get rounded into a gulag and maybe tear-gassed.
