      Okay, lets see some critically aclaimed indie game(undertale), as indie game undoubtly deserving to be bought, and compare it to AAA game series released the same year which deserves to be pirated, according to community. I will use call of duty because its the type of game series i see often said to be the reason to pirate by thiefs: AAA, high price, every year title, shitty studio.

      I use very popular local torrent website, as i dont want to search what is the current most used worldwide website for it, and if it tracks number of downloads.

      Undertale(2015)-51k downloads.

      CoD black ops 3(2015)-54k downloads.

      So now answer me, why? Is undertale the same quality shit as call of duty? Or is it even worse considering that it is way less popular, so in corelation of pirated copes divided by copies bought, more people prefered to buy CoD?

        Because CoD Black Ops requires internet in order to access most of the content, such as multiplayer. Undertale does not. You got any other, more relevant examples?

          Okay, fallout 4-45k.

          64k if you count the second torrent on the list separatelly (undertale would be 67k in that case).

                Hmm, no, in this case no argument is better than the stupidity you’ve proven capable of by comparing unofficial pirated downloads from one single source and not even taking sales numbers or any of the other 4 billion factors that influence sales of a video game into account.

                Let me destroy your brain real quick: people pirate and then buy the game because it was good or it ran properly on their machine or they liked the gameplay. Surprise surprise!

                  Oh wow, your anecdotic evidence taken out of the ass, without any stat how many people actually do it to back it up, so it means nothing, really blown up my brain, good job. :)

                  Ironic that you are talking about stupidity lol.
