  By copying that fish, he took business away from the fisherman who caught it. If it weren’t for his piracy, many people would have been hungry and bought fish from him. Copying fish is stealing.

  Something I’ve learned is that :

  1. Aside from Indie Devs who keep their properties long term, any money you pay for a game gets split between retailers, distribution chains, and publishing companies and NOT the people who made that game. It doesn’t matter how many copies of FO:NV you buy, Obsidian gets none of it, they were already paid (and denied bonuses).

  2. Piracy increases games awareness and promotes them, so by allowing some amount of privacy the developers actually boost their sales. E.G. Factorio distributes standalones which, obviously, does lead to friends giving each other copies.

    Piracy increases games awareness and promotes them,

    MS used this to full effect making their software so easy to pirate and all keys were easily found online. It didn’t affect them but only help because every student trained on MS office, taking those skills into the workforce and for which companies paid for a commercial licence.

    Also I used to never believe people actually end up buying games they “just pirated to check if it runs on my pc or not.”

    Then when I got my first job and gradually bought a bunch of games on GoG that I used to play as a kid.

    There is actual incentive to buy the game later on once money problems are slightly better and you want to play a game you really liked before.

  If you can go to hell for pirating a videogame then I’m sure like 95% or humanity is in hell for much more egregious sins.

    Fapping is enough for God to send you to Hell, apparently.

    “What are you in for?”

    “Mass murder. I blew up 20-30 people before the cops gunned me down. You?”

    “I burst after playing one of those Japanese video games.”

    Like wearing clothes of mixed fabrics, shaving your face, touching a woman who is on her period, eating any kind of shellfish, eating any cloven hooved beast (like pig, deer, etc.) or covering your head if you’re a man / not covering your head if you are a woman.

    Straight to hell!

      Don’t forget coloring your hair as a man to anything besides gray and white if you have black hair and anything besides white if you have gray hair unless you are about to fight people.

      I am not saying this as a “religion is so random” type criticism of Islam. I just really like at as example of a rule that historically makes absolute sense but nowadays just sounds oddly specific.

  Asking for a friend, how is gaming on linux with pirated games and the whole virus situation? About a decade ago I read that viruses could break out of the VM sandbox.

  • null@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Assuming you installed a virus through wine/proton, it’s entirely possible for it execute if it has what it needs to run from the wine prefix.

    Whether or not it can do any real damage depends on the virus, but there’s nothing stopping it from getting access to anything your user can.

  The only hell you might get from pirating and other “easy sources of excess pleasure” is the hedonic treadmill. I’d say Steam sales are more likely to cause this at this point but we’re definitely seeing the effects of easy entertainment on the general population. Brainrot and all that. And the world ain’t looking great. But personally I’d take notes from Buddhism rather than Christianity as the latter is way more preoccupied with what happens after this life (the religion of kicking the can down the road).

    It’s not the easy entertainment that’s causing brainrot, it’s the convenient sacrifices. The ads. The pollution. Time spent in cars. The plastic crap. The noise. The horrible news. The apoliticism. The talking machine that thinks for you.

    Those aren’t entertainment or luxuries, they’re daily micro-tortures that are easy to get used to, easy to tolerate, easy to ignore, but still carve out pieces of your soul. People are being worn down to nothing as surely as if by any addiction. It’s not the high that kills you, it’s the side effects. Weed isn’t a tenth as dangerous as tobacco cigarettes, and one’s got more high, one’s got more side effects.
