Big brain move, getting you to acknowledge that you’re pirating for when the lawsuit comes.
More people need to accept that piracy helps sales in the end, not take sales.
If ppl like it enough to pirate it, ppl will also like it enough to buy it. That's the rule of thumb imo.
I really don't think this is true though, the cost of piracy is severely low when compared to buying it, I can see myself downloading some shit games just to play them for 15-30 minutes but I'd never buy them.
True. I would never pay for AC Rogue, and after having completed the game, I can justify that decision. To me, it felt lile Black Flag but worse. Could I justify but I Black Flag on Steam, after already paying for it on PS4? Yes. Could I justify any purchase of Rogue? No, none.
Arguably if you completed the entire game, the purchase would be justified
I completed it because I started it (and it's a shorter game), not because I was actually invested. I've played Black Flag 3 times, I've paid for it once, and would both replay it and pay for it again. I've played Rogue once, and I have no intention of replaying or paying for it.
Its about justifying it to myself. I'm not rich and don't really have disposable income for games.
If those games had demos would you still pirate the full game to only play a small portion?
I don't really understand what it has to do with buying the game but yeah I probably would since I'd rather have the unlimited experience in case the game is halfway decent.
