Plz seed.
Hop on i2p! I dl’d it there.
you can pirate games but don’t jerk yourself off about it, you don’t have to justify downloading video games as media preservation to not be a bad person because of it

Look guys, you don’t need to justify your piracy. There is nothing ethically wrong with pirating media.
Anticonsumer practices are justification enough. If someone has a childish response of “uR sTeaLiNg!!”, give them an equally childish retort and tell them to eat your farts.
You pirate to preserve media.
I pirate because I like pissing off billion dollar conglomerates.
We are not the same.
I’d argue that indeed we do as a community need to justify our actions. Mainstream knowledge and media label us as close to thieves and criminals. People need to realize we just want to share bits and bytes across the internet, and we are stewards of media preservation and freedom of information. As cracking down piracy become normalized, it’s even more important to have a voice in society, and reassure people that what we’re doing is morally grounded
“It’s expensive, but I still want everything, so I pirated it. Seems pretty justified.”
Look, I’ve pirated a ton in my life, but this whole “This is actually a noble pursuit” is such a load of fucking horse shit. We want something and don’t want to pay the price that is required to get it, so we take it. The best part is “preserving” it, because we all know that when this guy is done playing, it will be deleted and he’ll never think of it again.

Aggrandize deez nuts bro. And being a hero of digital media preservation is only one of the myriad of reasons to pirate, such as
-
Not accidentally signing away your rights to sue Disney due to forced arbitration when you avail a free trial of Disney+
-
No drm
-
Puts economic and financial pressure on the studio to keep games cheap

Just because they don’t give a shit about media preservation doesn’t mean they’re not helping towards media preservation by pirating. Just by downloading a torrent you share upload bits of it while you download, even if you stop and delete it after you watch it. And i’d argue, the more people have media, the less likely it will fade away in 100 years.

Oh oof

Also not true, i seed in i2p
And also, leechers help in media preservation as well. The more copies there are of media, the more likely it will be preserved well into the future. Even if they dont seed now, just having and spreading copies of media definitely does help in media preservation
This was not wise. Green bubbles usually mean “now they know”.
Let them know. Let them send their letters. I’m running out of toilet paper to wipe my ass with
