And even better: people not valve will actually go and work to make the games that aren’t compatible working. For free.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

And yet, you’ve spent countless paragraphs justifying how it’s ok for you to be a leech

My favorite take in this thread was a guy saying that two months after release all the artists etc are paid off therefore piracy is ok lmao

Oh, I feel pretty good about myself all of the time. I find life rather enjoyable, as I do not need to write down 45 paragraphs in order to justify some sort of shitty behavior like you need to.

Furthermore, you growing fruit takes resources and time.

Meanwhile, artistic creation just happens.

Lmao you’re such a leech. Only a leech believes art takes no effort and no time. This single line in your entire argument demonstrates that you do not value creativity, and therefore you think you aren’t required to pay your share.

In other words, you’re a leech.

Oh my god you are denser than a box of rocks.

The fruits are basically infinite as long as the tree stands. In fact, I throw many of the fruits away every year because I can’t sell them fast enough. The fruits are accessory to the argument.

In one instance you say that someone makes enough money therefore there’s no need to reward them further for their work, in the other you say wait no that’s different because bullshit reasons.

Just say you’re ok with stifling creative people because you don’t believe the deserve to live off of their hard work.

The fruits themselves are an accessory to my argument, the fact you chose to criticize this minute detail, and not the actual argument (you deciding that someone has made enough money and therefore it’s ok to enjoy the fruits of their labor for free) is quite telling.

I have an orchard full of mirabelle plum trees. I keep some of the production for personal consumption and to hand out to friends and family, and sell the rest.

On average, I make back all the money invested in tools and other farming products halfway through the gathering season.

According to you, it’s ok if someone comes and steal my fruit after that then?

Imagine calling someone else a leech when you are literally promoting theft because you have decided that after an arbitrary amount of time (2 months, apparently), it’s all paid for.

I buy games because it’s the right thing to do. Not because I am afraid.

Most people have a hard time swallowing the fact that they’re nothing but bottom tier leeches.

And when you call it piracy, some turbo nerds come out of the woodwork to claim it’s not piracy because piracy implies theft

In the end, anyone who’s not a low tier troll knows exactly the meaning of theft in the context of content creation.

IP theft isn’t a thought crime, though.

Ok vegan

A statement that is only partially true is false

Ok vegan

You: Factory farming bad you are an animal rapist
Me: I don’t eat factory farmed animals
You: wow literally Ben Shapiro

… Sure, I’m the one with a condition.

I don’t eat factory farmed meat so I am not interested in your stupid shit

In this case, no, they were not right, as they were suggesting feeding cats a vegan diet, which is the opposite of being right.

Allegedly carnist

So, someone sane.

If you think a cat can be vegan, please never own a cat.
