Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 23 hours agoYeah but fuck Bethesda these days. I won’t give them my money. They screwed me too often with their money grab junk. I’ll wait for a cracked version.

Piracy is bad! But just so you know there are already people downloading a cracked version of the game illegally today! Can you believe it?!

Being scammed by Bethesda is bad. I buy indie games, I pirate triple A games to see if it’s worth my money. Usually it’s roughly 3 hours before I remove the junk. Fuck that, they don’t deserve my money. Empty shells, unbalanced bs, bug simulators, dlc hoarding, microtransactions. But if it’s actually good, I buy the game. I just have no more trust in big developers. Maybe except for Rockstar. Blizzard, Bethesda, Ubisoft, EA, they all suck. When they screw me over again and again, they deserve to be pirated. But even for free their games aren’t worth my time. Prove your product is worth it’s money and I’ll happily pay full price. Like Larian studios. Shut up and take my money.

I was being sarcastic, fuck big publishers and big tech (Bethesda is both now), pirate all their shit, and shit on the game online so other people don’t buy it.
Although I’ll admit I couldn’t wait, and bought the remaster as soon as I saw it. Oblivion is a special game for me, and this remaster definitely does not disappoint.

Ah, I expected as much after reading your comment a second time after I already replied.
I spent soooo much time playing Oblivion. I’ve never experienced anything like that before. It was the first game I played on my first self-built pc, the pc my parents had was shit, only for work, no proper gpu. I must have spent at least over a thousand hours playing Oblivion.
But noooooo, Todd Howard won’t get my money!
I don’t know much about pirated games these days, other than that there’s a lot of junk out there. Malware etc. So far I have a great experience with fitgirl repacks so I’m going to wait for a fitgirl release.
I don’t want to pirate but I feel like I have no choice. I stopped downloading games because of Steam. I stopped downloading music because of Spotify. I stopped downloading movies and shows because of Netflix. I feel scammed on Steam, Spotify is a horrible nazi company and Netflix is so fragmented into other streaming platforms that it’s financially not viable to continue watching everything. So back comes the pirate hat. No one provides more service than piracy. I have more rights by pirating because I don’t have to sign any terms of service. Services just limit their customers while making them pay, while forcing them to give up their rights and ownership. Why would I pay for YouTube premium with less rights, freedom and functions than Grayjay or Vanced? I don’t want a car with functions locked behind a paywall and with ads, I’ll boycott the car brand. Fuck big tech.
That was my rant. Thanks for listening :)
