Piracy is not stealing. Stealing is stealing. Some people use piracy to steal just like some people use cars to help them rob a bank.

Please explain under what definition of theft a “crime” where the original owner maintains possession of their property is theft. 

If you’re going to call people childish consider not having a full blown tantrum complete with swearing.

Nintendo may not be required to provide free access to their back catalog, but they are also not required to actively shut down the attempts of others to preserve that catalog. They do it anyway. Nearly every art form has a way for people to view, borrow, or aquire copies of classic works. Hell, the Library of…

I’m not sure what magical nintendo cartridges you have, but almost all of them have batteries inside of them that have died. Their cartridges are definitely NOT made to be preserved for long periods of time. This is a very well known problem from NES, SNES, N64, and the whole line of gameboy cartridges. You might have…

Regarding the corporations themselves, I criticize them all the time, dude. A quick glance at anything I say on the matter will tell you I’m not afraid of defending that piracy is a valuable tool that consumers shouldn’t be afraid to use. I’d say the same if Sony’s and Microsoft’s fans were throwing a hissy fit in…

Lol, poor bitch. I can assure you I’m nothing of the sort, but the fact that you immediately assumed I am economically disadvantaged says a LOT about your worldview. But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised a corporate bootlicker is also a social elitist.

piracy is preservation, ya dingus. i don’t pirate current-gen games, but i will download older games. it hurts nobody (except maybe some dude trying to sell final fantasy tactics advance for 200 bucks on ebay) and otherwise i wouldn’t be able to play it. no other art form is like this.

How does being a poor bitch feel?

It’s funny. I used to feel the same way...I couldn’t even tell you what changed my mind on piracy. Maybe one day I woke up and my tongue tasted funny and I realized it was boot leather. Who knows. But I’m damned sure not gonna defend corporations at this point in human history. Fuck that. 

How does that corporate boot taste? You seem so intent on licking it.

The bootlickers always reveal themselves.

Remember, its always, ALWAYS, good to pirate Nintendo games. They don’t want to sell them and they don’t respect them, why should I. So always jailbreak their shit and load it up with games they can’t take away. If they want to pretend those games didn't exist you can do your part so they are preserved somewhere.

Yes and no. Yes, The Witcher 3 had a bumpy launch, bugs-wise. And if you play it today, you obviously miss out on the bugs - but you also experience a version of the game that has had major systems and menus tweaked or even entirely replaced - i.e. the menus are completely redesigned, stamina works differently (at…

No? Socialism has one specific creed. That the means of production should be owned by the people. It doesn’t have anything to say about any of this, not inherently

You have it backwards. In Marxist theory, socialism is transitional to communism, not the other way. Marx called it the lower stage of communism, a transitional step in place before a society reaches the higher stage (these days just ‘communism’).

If you can’t live in comfort on less than $1 mil a year, you’re a greedy POS. Nothing wrong with making money, if you’re making it in an ethical way. There IS something wrong with hording that money. Give it away. Make a difference in the world. Get a 6-figure sponsorship deal? Give it all away. Get enough money for a…

There’s a huge gap between bare penniless existence and this kind of excess.

It was 3 million, and given the current house prices in California... eh, it’s not bad.

Maybe because being politely outraged didn’t fucking do anything and the world is being literally ruined for every creature but, possibly, ourselves? We’re going to literally drown millions, if not billions of people or at least their former habitats, because we were politely objecting to bad policies in the 20th…
