I wanted to discuss today a topic involving piracy, its large availability and ease of access and the problem it poses to the future of any entertainment industry. - Hry
I appreciate all the nuanced and respectful discussions in the comments! There is a tad more I could've expanded upon but there's also only so much I could fit into one video without making it too bloated or ranty.
I ain't stealing the money that I ain't ever giving them in the first place🤷
Piracy is legal where I live, and its not that bad. Poor people who can't afford games can get them with the only caveat of not being able to play online. Its a good option for anyone who can't afford anything. Even in IT, you have to know how to pirate.
very interesting perspective, I was not aware fo some governments doing this, thank you for the input
Y'know depending on what side you view this as, Piracy is a form of protest that owning a pirated copy actually allows you to have more than simply subscribing or paying for the thing (eg. Regional lock, online verification, etc y'know). But instead of these companies delivering better for the paid users, they double down on making anti-piracy measures way too restrictive and actually even worse the experience of those who paid. So naturally the response is targeting these companies for even greater piracy attacks. The response loops again and again and now here we are.
ur right that improving availability and service for the user is a great way to reduce piracy. I should've expanded on a few of the situations where a product is otherwise not available, not being sold anymore, etc. Thank you!
@@moonkaster No problem mate, amazing vid btw
For a while, piracy was in legal grey zone in parts of Europe: If you owned a movie, for example, it would be tolerated (not necessarily legal, but not illegal either) to download the digital pirated version in order to have a digital copy of your original DVD.
I agree with piracy when it comes to older games. Especially when companies like Nintendo are letting their older games being forgotten by time. It's really sad.
If only companies localized better for regions, probably wouldn't be as bad.
Yeah i wanted to take a strong stance because I didn't want the video to come across as promoting it, but I understand grey areas where like you mention, a product isn't even being sold and no money is being lost
If you want to block piracy, the only option you have is to block other countries from connection, which would make internet mostly useless.
Piracy is a good way to access information books/movies/games even if you are poor, the information should accessible to everyone.
I do agree that information should be accessible to everyone, but movies (outside of documentaries) and games are entertainment, not vital life information.
when i was a kid used to buy pirated ps2 games on discs for 1$ in my country, i thought those shops went extinct but to my surprise they were all in front of me, from movies to music to games in physical form, most importantly for some change you can stock your ssd with ps4 games, but again it's third world country, our lowest income is 250$, if i ware to spend that on games I'll wound up with no water or food so sailing the high seas always been a gateway to get stuff that i can't afford ans share with friends
I mean as someone who as a kid pirated absolutely everything and now as a grown adult i buy the games 99% of the time I will tell you that when companies learn to actually makes games for gamers and not for buyers piracy will be dropped to a minimum, meaning when i get 200 bucks for the entire month from my parents as a kid there is no chance im buying a game thats priced at 60 but now that im older with a job and everything dropping 60 even though not fair is acceptable.
distribution and accessibility would definitely help
What I do loathe as an anti-piracy measure are these always online games. There are days when my internet connection is nigh non-existent or constantly going on and offline, that I’m persistently being booted out of game since the server is unable to verify my software license. And I mean this for games that I play solo.
I miss when Piracy kept western developers on their toes.. games were better for it.
what game u playing
Days Gone, the pc release
just look at piracy as free advertisement.
if they like the product and have the means to buy the product later on in the future they will buy it, but if they dont you still have the best type of advertisement (for a good product) word of mouth.
ive sailed the seas for a very long time but now that im in a very comfortable place, i buy games on steam and never play them -_-
all thanks to our Lord Gaben 🙏🙏
I understand, though I think the main issue with this is that 1) its only advertisement if you end up enjoying the game and your word of mouth is sucessful 2) if everyone followed the same logic and 80%+ games were pirated, developers would make no money to continue making games
