Or…people pirate because they can. Let’s not take some sort of moral high ground here. I’m all for preserving lost media, but come on now. Just
owndownload it.I saw a link on Lemmy to a “GoG” clone on which you can download all games for free.
Like of all the places not to pirate I would assume the company that enforces no DRM, direct downloads that you can save indefinitely and that makes older games work on newer hardware, would be on the top of that list.
Since those are such common complaints on why to pirate.
Next to that they have deals often where the prices are already really low.
Competing with free is near impossible.
And yet when Netflix was good the amount of people who pirated went down a ton. I was on that train. Just give me a service that isn’t outrageously expensive, has most of the content i want, and is more convenient than pirating and I’ll do it, as long as i have an income.
If anybody is curious about what that “GoG clone” is: gog-games.to
Interesting link. Thank you. :)
Crunchyroll came from piracy, never felt right paying for it
