DebatableRaccoon, to piracy in Gaming Companies Flag 'Highly Skilled Hackers' as Emerging Piracy Threat

I find it funny that they specifically refer to the past year for a large increase in piracy. Remind me when it was that companies started consistently charging even more for the base package of their games…

Zedstrian,

Or when they popularized the concept of “base” and “complete” editions as a means of turning a $60 game into a $90 game.

DrQuint,

*$70 game

*$120 complete

GiveMemes,

Don’t forget the $40 season pass!

Zedstrian,

Make sure to preorder to get an exclusive™ cosmetic item that’ll be resold as $5 DLC soon after.

abbadon420,

Me: I’ll just wait half a year for the price to drop.

Nintendo: 🖕

Zedstrian,

In retrospect I regret drinking the Nintendo koolaid for so long, but turning what used to be the fairly equitable Virtual Console system into a ROM rental service made me jump ship to the Steam Deck and it’s been smooth sailing since.

This is precisely why I’ve always waited for the GOTY version to release (or whatever other subtitle they slap on the box) but through all of their BS I find I’m less and less willing to part with my money. Certain companies have become a no-fly zone for me and that list is only growing longer.

I’m confused, normally threats happen before the thing it’s threatening… Have I been imagining piracy all these years?

HughJanus, to piracy in Plex Sued for Copyright Infringement by Press Agency

The same photo is still in use by The Movie DB, one of Plex’s data suppliers.

So someone submitted a copyrighted image to a 3rd-party user-created database and Plex ingested the image.

Seems like the claimant has a legitimate case but it’s strange that they didn’t sue the people actually providing the image. Not enough money in it, probably.

Ethical piracy is not watching Tom Cruise movies.

Laughs uncontrollably

VikingHippie, to piracy in ‘Z-Library ‘Fugitives’ Should Be Brought to Trial in The United States’.

So the fact that they, citizens of a country with no extradition treaty with the US currently in a country where extradition is famously murky at best, don’t want to be extradited to face an American kangaroo court means that they have no rights and MUST be extradited to face an American kangaroo court?

It’s like Orwell and Kafka had a baby and then someone appointed that baby emperor of the world 🤦

Valmond,

Yeah over … checks papers … Not treason, not murder nor terrorism rape or plotting to overthrow the government … Here, I finally found it ; for … copyright infringement??

What a total idiocy.
