A triple-A game is only available and free to you because people like me pay for it.
If everyone acted like you, the AAA game industry wouldn't exist.
I'm not trying to be disparaging, but no pirate should be proud of their theft.
Yeah and I want that to happen quite frankly. The triple a scene needs a major disruption.
That said I don't trust a privileged executable from the high seas.
But then why pirate the game?
I hope the AAA gaming industry collapses
With the way they treat their workers? Good. I'm not talking about the quality of their work, I'm talking about the treatment of their labor.
Please do discontinue paying for AAA games. They are not only riddled with dark patterns antagonistic to their end users, but are made on the abuse and crunch of development teams overworked and underpaid.
We can only hope the AAA industry perishes and is suceeded by indie games or even FOSS game efforts.
If you must play them, pirate them with all the rant and roar you can, but better still, find better (if lower budgeted games) on the indie market. There are some pretty amazing titles that will scratch all your itches.
It really shouldn't. Everything in it outside of Nintendo is a hot steaming pile of dogshit.
lol
Beause some people really need their Star Wars or Harry Potter or whatever.
I was a Star Wars fan, but it all went downhill as Lucasarts died.
