Probably only very specific ones in very specific areas

My Frankenstein in an ikea drawer probably works better than that customers Frankenstein and mine doesn’t even have all needed power supplied

You’d be surprised how many people would say ‘is it drivers’ or ‘is it bootlooping’ without realizing the uncooled (fuck you autocorrect) cpu

Ah yes, my raw, uncooked cpu, wtf lol

Do you want the spoiler

Thats pretty cool

Im trying to learn German kinda

Me definitely not thinking in c++ while learning c++

How can theft occur when there was never a purchase to be made?

That’s rape.

In this analogy you are stealing time and labour, if we’re being weird. Not being weird, thats rape, please get a better comparison, one that isn’t a crime against every living being please. Im not sure how this translates to copyright

The whole thing is chaotic and weird

‘Theft’ of an online thing is, yes, illegal, but if it is for the sake of preservation it is basically objectively morally good. There is a very fine, hard to see, easy to cross line of when piracy is good or bad and no-one actually knows where this line is.

Your analogy is strange by the way.

The “if buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing” quote?

Dad joined when it was still okay. I joined when it was grindy. We played a very different game. After a month or two I decided it was too grindy; even if someone offered me an account with all dlc and season passes at no cost to me ever, I would decline. If media is pirated and shared, it has high enough quality to be shared. It is the most awkward sign of respect a creator could receive, respect nonetheless. D2 is currently so bad it’s not even worth trying to steal paid content. Apparently Anthem was in a similar boat, the game sucked, but it had a lot of potential. Dad has an art book from them and I spent days looking at it. When I asked him what it was originally meant to be, he told me all about the game, how it was promised and meant to be, and the same reskinned grindy 100+hour game it became. D2 and Anthem should have been made to their potential.

In that case it would be illegal

Yap about my own crimes:

In my opinion that would be immoral. For me, the only things I’ve pirated are mom’s cd’s (ripped) and Endorphin Dynamic Motion Synthesis. Endorphin physics is 20+ year old abandoned and discontinued software, it was a physics engine for film studios with a learning edition: 30 day free trial. Yes, it is a copy for my own enjoyment, but there was never a purchase to be made. I tried looking for the old web servers, but after NaturalMotion was bought by Zinga in 2015, they shut down all servers and effectively erased it from history. Only 2 companies legally know the secrets of this Dynamic Motion Synthesis: NaturalMotion/Zynga and Rockstar. Rockstar has a branch of it for games called Euphoria, I think it still exists. If no-one had cracked Endorphin, no trace of its existence would have stayed, effectively removed from reality. I now need windows 7 and a vm lol. The music mom had already bought, mp3players don’t support discs.

Yap about your game’s copycat:

How many ads? If there’s a lot ads it makes sense someone would rip it, though it still sucks. If there’s almost none, they’re very obviously in the wrong HOWEVER it’s more complicated than this and I obviously don’t know the details when all you said about it was you made it, had some ads, someone ripped it/reuploaded without ads, so I can’t really say much about it. Sorry that happened, it must suck, though I don’t know much about software dev.

Piracy is definitely a gray topic with valid points on either side so my interpretation of your game situation is probably inaccurate and where the line is drawn changes person to person. Have a great day.

Turn off ai mode and report ai images when you see them can help
