Piracy is the only morally justified way to play video games.
Anything else and you support these communists who create NOTHING and are trying to subvert free speech and our society.
edit: also supporting small creators like Lethn of course (;
Which is it?
He regularly attacks Christians by conflating them with the left. He's basically a militant atheist.
He also spends a lot more time attacking the right than he does the left.
Yeah, people like him are why I hate centrist. It's only ever cover for leftism.
Wish more people realized this
It depends on how much you want to purity spiral.
Lethn has some opinions that go against some groups of people on this forum, but also has opinions that everyone seems to agree with. No one is going to be 100% in agreement. If your red line is criticism of your religion in a way you don't agree with, then so be it.
(And on the "conflation with the left", I haven't read everything Lethn has written, but a lot of Christian sects got subverted by progressivism and Zionism since the late 19th century. There are "Christians" that share the same political bullshit as globalist lefties [tolerance, immigration, welfare etc], so it's easy for someone to conflate Christians with leftists)
Edit: This is ex post facto, but if half of you are going to downvote me, explain what's wrong with my opinion and argument? We're not talking about TheImp or Haterjuiced here.
I see him doing some concern trolling but I only skimmed it so far
Just wait until the government gets the level of control they want over the internet. Piracy will have to go to being offline physical copies on USB only.
All I'm hearing is a return to the golden age of shareware where kids exchanged floppy disks to play Commander Keen.
>pirate an online multiplayer game
I too remember the 90s. Good times.
swg restoration, terra, smt imagine... yup cant pirate online games at all. k i know im nitpicking here but a private server is to suits a pirate server, even when the games dusted.
MMORPGs are essentially just transactional databases with a large botting incentive while the game is active. So there's a big foothold to reverse engineer the server. I don't think anyone is ever going to reverse engineer the server for an action FPS from scratch because of the server side physics and prediction requirements. Your best hope would be leaked source code.
Dead games are a serious concern. Not everything can be reverse engineered or recreated. Piracy is the minimum action needed to protect games.
yup never said they wernt and never said they all could be, the comment was to pirate an online game.
Are you ok?
Because you're downvoting your own posts. Which is odd, at best.
The consequence of the newly emerging subscription and fee per product hybrid model. Where you don't own the product you paid for and you pay an ongoing licence fee to be able to use it. At any moment, if you even so much as look at a EA moderator in the wrong way, your purchases are seized and your access to the things you paid for is permanently denied. They can also implement planned obsolescence so if they want you to upgrade and pay for the new product, they can nudge you in that direction.
They feed on the psychology of fear of missing out (FOMO) to get everyone to embrace the model.
Also like the politicians they are exploiting the fake concept of hate speech and people's fear of being labeled a bad person. This example is nothing but even the whole idea that you can't say nigger or faggot was a scheme for more control by the corporations. If it was only a liability/image concern they'd let third parties handle game chat.
I would be open to considering a system where I pay a monthly fee to access a studio's entire library. I am not interested in paying $60+ for a game and then a monthly fee in order to play it. I think that's a big part of why Google's Stadia failed.
I get the impression that they're not going to learn the lessons of Stadia because of hubris. They consider themselves "too big to fail".
It's why I'm moving more and more towards purchases that I can control, like how GoG provides actual installation executables or Comics that come as honest to god .pdfs that I can do whatever I want with.
You think that's bad? My friend just recently had his League of Legends account permanently banned because he said "report jungle" at the end of the game.
The rationale for the ban was that telling people to report another player doesn't promote a positive safe environment to game in and is offensive. In the same game the jungle my friend said to report bad said "kill all Japanese people".
Honestly, chatting in gaming is dead. Gaming itself is dead.
Fragile minorities destroyed the idea of communicating in multiplayer games forever, you can't even use preset phrases or map pings without the risk of upsetting one and losing your account.
I had the word "niggles" censored from a Steam review, which ironically made the review seem way more offensive e.g. "this game has too any *******". Peak clown world.
Honestly the blame for this mostly lies with women, not minorities. Foreign nationals are very very aggro with chat and pings lol
Its why gamers will never respect women in gaming. They will always be harassed and be simped. But not respected.
In fairness, women are a minority in gaming. Not to mention the crossover in the venn diagram between "women who play non-casual games" and "women who complain about said games" is a miniscule sliver.
You can apply the logic of police ethics complaints to women. There's only a few bad apples, but they're empowered by the quiet support from the majority of the group.
chatting needs to be 100% independent from the stalins who run the companies.
use discord
banned by degen tranny mods
discord seems just as bad?
Use private discord. Make your own chat channels.
bring back privately run ventrilo and teamspeak servers.
Wtf? I play Smite occasionally, you'll get chat saying regularly to report someone just because they suck let alone trolls and feeders.
And good luck trying to detoxify LoL, you might as well take a fire axe to the server room as it's the sane result.
They promoted people to positions of power who don't know the first thing about video games.
"people"?
Typo. Must have meant "spiteful mutants"
This. Smite people complain all the time.
This is women's fault
They are the ones who advocate and call for game companies to start treating online games like fucking daycares because some 14 nigger called them a whore or told them to make a sandwich on cod.
Yeah. Women are making men more misogynistic lol. Pretty soon we all gonna be an Imp. Women want to hang out with the men, but cant handle it.
So rather than just censoring what is said like everyone else (there are options in some games to turn on and off the ability to swear like parental controls) they are fully removing someone's account for something that is as mundane as STFU...
I feel like these companies WANT to die with how crappy their management is and the quality of their products they make, there's a reason why CS GO and TF2 is still going and the BF 2042 playerbase is emptier than a WNBA game.
Hahahaha. I boycott EA after mass effect 3 and I have never gone back. The boycott remains in force. I have no regrets.
Same, also helps that they haven't made a game that I wasn't already sick of the genre after the xbox 360 days.
It's all indie and retro for this old man these days, no ragrets.
Yep, same.
I had the same boycott and I slipped once when I bought Sim City 4, because I forgot it was owned by EA.
At least the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld refunded your money after kicking you out.
And his bans usually only lasted for one year.
*downloads new demo from EA
"You're pushing your luck, little man"
Zoomers are such pussies.
Prediction: Slippery slope is real and this is the start of full online language policing. Soon, companies are googling to ban acronyms because “they can misconstrued as bad speech.” Next, it will seem like it goes uphill with introduction of better sound quality in voice chat but it’s a bait. Next, any bad words (from nigger to nazi to damn) will be forbidden.
Why? Video game companies will be selling player’s voices. Can’t have any naughty words in the final product!
It doesn't matter what you say if you are a white man. You'll never win. They want you gone. There are no speech rules you can follow that will spare you from the mob.
''Where are you from''
''Scunthorpe, England.''
YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN BANNED FOR MYSOGINY.
''... what? Oh, Scunthorpe, my fault for offending the trigglypuffs ruling us.''
In our investigations, LOL sometimes stands for "Lucifer Our Lord" and is offensive to the Jewish and Islamic playerbase. Enjoy your ban.
Remember when buying a game meant you owned it?
There's no way EA would remove your payment details voluntarily like that. Must be required by law.
Maybe, or they're covering themselves from a lawsuit. Since I'm sure they will be banning people for things that don't actually violate their terms of service- for example, I don't think the quote in the OP would meet any reasonable standard of harrassment- I don't want to give an angry gamer a cause of action in court for billing for services they are no longer providing. They get sued, the plaintiff maybe you will get access to all sorts of information that they don't want out there
that's funny because many people were banned from this sub for saying similar shit
Comment Reported for: Rule 12 - Falsehoods
This is disinformation, but I'm not going to remove it. I'd rather keep it up.
It's funny, because I take that report as a complement. Obviously, no one here has ever been banned for saying STFU.
For example: STFU Bog_iron, you have 3 comments.
What were the things people were banned for saying then?
STFU EA
"You just want to say the n word, chud! Muh freeze peach lol. It's a private company they can do whatever they want just don't be a racist asshole". Who knew that this shit wouldn't just be reserved for racist slurs? it's almost like game companies taking away everything you paid for because you said a word in a fucking rated m game just to protect some stupid faggots feelings isn't a good precedent to set?
No way! Stfu!
Charge backs on everything, banks have been waiting for this. This is how gaming ruined gaming. I'm never spending money on digital games that can be taken from me at any time.
Yah my real first name is banned in all EA games cuz it has "-kush" in it. So I have to replace the U with a V.
Never give your money to a company that can decide to ban you from using the games you bought.
If you did, and they ban you from playing your games, contact your consumer protection agency. It's probably illegal in your country.
Nowadays the only thing they want to see are pretty words and mouth hugs.
well now seems piracy just got a bit more moral and ethical eh?
Stop playing games losers.
