  This is such an incredible level of magical thinking that most 12 year olds already grow out of.

  What do you think happens with the artists if the game doesn’t sell?

  What do you think happens to the genre if the game doesn’t sell?

  People are complaining about live-service games, but holy fuck, can you not see that these are the direct response to piracy? You literally cannot pirate these games, because they require constant connection to the servers that verify if you have a license.

    Paid actor or just retard?

    There’s clear data showing piracy almost never has a negative impact on sales. If anything, it’s usually a positive impact. And the exceptions to this are not video games.

    Don’t kid yourself. The artists will get fired either way. Whether or not the game sells well will not change anything. Aside from the point above.

    Anti-piracy advocates like you are the cancer of the gamer community. You’re doing absolutely nothing for the world, but spewing corporate propaganda that is based on nothing but the words of an ultra rich pedophile.
