Lmao, Corporate slaving at its finest. Understand this, you say we are leeching in an unfair and unjust way right? Then why is it in the year 2020 I cant purchase a game that was marketed to be ready on release day without it being riddled with bugs? These corporations like CD Projekt don't care if they robbed me of $60. The whole argument of us being "sociopath's" is so dramatic its not even funny. I pay gamepass every single month because there is no reason to purchase any game nowadays whatsoever. If you want to be a slave to these corporations be my guest, but me, I'd rather screw them as I please thank you very much...
I don't know the extent to which you base your gaming on piracy. I responded to Reg, who was proud to have pirated his shit for 20 years. And who you seemed to be in total agreement with.
Yes, corporations are soulless scum and at this point it would indeed appear that CDPR have well and truly cemented their place pretty high up on the vermin list. Believe me, you don't want to hear what I think about corporate executives without filter. It is not nice. It is not polite. It is not family friendly wordage that belongs in the public space.
But complaining about the corporate bullshit rings rather hollow if you're resorting to similar behavior. Just how it is. Can't really complain much about animal welfare in the French foie gras production either, if you're in full support of the American chlorinated chicken industry.
Frankly, I don't care if someone just wants to try something without fronting the money. It is still illegal and obviously that decision to break the law is something they'll have to own up to, but the general concept of it does not grind my gears. Trying shit and then either buying it or not buying is a very common model of commerce and I don't see any reason to get my testicles bunched up over it.
But what you're proposing appears to be a different model, one where you get to have full access to anything and everything and then you may deign the service or good worthy of a tip afterwards. Possibly. But probably not, because this effort or that effort only deserves endless exploitation without any compensation. That is not a model of commerce, that's somewhere between kleptomania and megalomania. It's essentially the schoolyard bully who decides that if you grovel enough and kiss his shoes then he may let you have some of your lunch money.
Don't want to pay triple-A fee? Product not worth quite that much? Sure. That is reasonable. Then wait for the game to go on sale and then buy it. Problem solved. Or lease the game on Game Pass, play it while you can be arsed, and move on when you can't. That's a perfectly sensible way to go about it. Do you think Reg, the guy I replied to, the guy you hit it off with and totally agreed with, the guy who is proud to have been pirating his shit for 20 years, is even doing that much? Because I sure don't.
