Re: Fandom Talk/Vent?
(Anonymous) 2023-02-14 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah, I get it now. Sorry. I honestly though you were talking about me, the OP.
>>Not buying it and pirating it instead: Not activism.
Pirating it because it is the right and moral thing to do because the copyright owner is in your eyes morally reprehensible: Activism/slacktivism of the same type as calling for boycotts.
I don't agree. I mean, I agree that people try to make it pass like activism and that's bullshit, but it's really not. Also boycotts in the sense of NOT BUYING A PRODUCT are not activism for me. That is what confuses me lol
So probably we actually agree with each other on this IDK
I don't agree on your stand about renting a copy is different to pirating because the copy has already been sold to someone. Maybe you're not aware that there are some software houses that want to limit how and how much people can rent or borrow games from friends. For a corporation's POV they are almost exactly the same. The result is the same for them.
The only difference is the legality of acquiring the copy.
>>I only told you that it's not as easy as you think to pirate a game.
I agree, especially for the case of AAA games like this. But it's not impossible if you have patience and invest a little bit of time in hunting for trustworthy sources.

(Anonymous) 2023-02-14 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah, no issue, it does get confusing, especially when reading on flat.
We can absolutely agree to disagree on this. I wouldn't call it activism per se myself, slacktivism at best, just like the calls for boycotting brands like Chick-fil-A when you didn't actually go there in the first place. Saying "I pirate this because of moral reasons" is more along the lines of virtue signalling to me.
>>But it's not impossible if you have patience and invest a little bit of time in hunting for trustworthy sources.
True, unless it's consoles like Playstation or XBox - I think it's still pretty much not a thing for those. Nintendo is a different matter, there it depends on the console.
