MODERATORS
Just don't play them at all. Pirating still gives their games attention that will lead to extra sales when compared to a complete flop.
I want to play them. Sony PC ports are objectively good games. Maybe you subjectively don't like some but you are a minority.
They lost sales from me. Given time, I would probably buy all of them. I usually always buy games. I have 800 games on Steam.
Nestlé products taste good. Does my Nestlé boycott still count if I steel it?
Only if you steal directly from Nestle.
I feel the argument is a little different when it comes to physical goods.
Stealing a Nestlé product takes away revenue just like if it were left on the shelf, never purchased, and discarded by the shop. The main benefit there is the edible portion of the product doesn't end up in a landfill.
It's the same when I look at my dignity. When I boycott a company or a specific product, I don't even want it for free.
No more Rolo, even when it is a gift.
If more people held themselves accountable, these products wouldn't exist. I know it can be an awkward situation to deny a gift for ethical reasons. Kudos to you.
Only if you're borrowing the hot chocolate and allow them to walk into your kitchen and repossess it whenever they want.
Are you saying you wouldn't steal from Nestle?
I wouldn't steel from anybody, but if you want to make it the lorry problem, yes I would rather steal from an evil company than a less evil.
Doesn't mean I start stealing.
Problem is, the games are fun. Had a hell of a time with the second game, and unleashed the 100%er in me
Edit: The games are genuinely high quality, with interesting and constantly evolving mechanics and often good stories. That's not something you see in big titles anymore.
They are great games and I want to play them. Their pricing policies just suck.
