  • I do, movies and TV shows. Occasionally books, but I buy them much more often than I do pirate. When I was in my teens and early 20s I also pirated games, but I’m too lazy to do that anymore. Movies and TV shows are too fucking expensive for the value they provide. I also pay for a few streaming services, so I only pirate stuff that isn’t there.

    Also, have you ever noticed that you have felt that the value of a product has decreased just because you didn’t pay for it, thus you are less interested to read it? i.e., had you paid for the book, you would have more likely read that book.

    Not really, with books and movies I only buy/download when I want to watch/read. With games I buy a lot more than I play, but I don’t pirate those, so it’s not relevant.







  • I was upset when Spiderman on PS4 was an exclusive

    Exclusives are actively hurting the consumer, being upset is normal.

    Hate for something because you can’t play it is just wild

    If it’s because someone decided they can milk more money by making it exclusive, it’s not that wild.

    Just like people hating on huge houses or seeing expansive cars just because they don’t have it

    It seems your world view is dominated by jealousy a lot and you project it onto others. I hate huge houses and expensive cars because it’s just to show everyone around how rich you are and serves no other purpose. All that while other people suffer and struggle to survive.
