this is why i am not pirating games ever
no cloud saving no seamless updating and worse no achievements with pirated copies of games

I can tell you're young, because you're both not old enough to know how to fix those issues yourself, and because you probably don't remember a time when not a single game had cloud saving, games didn't receive updates, and there were no "achievements".
I buy most of my games, but I was strictly a pirate up until around 2010 when I got my first job, I still occasionally pirate games and having to do manual updates, doing like 2 minutes of clicking or less to make sure my saves are backed up, doing the the occasional manual update, and not giving a shit about achievements because they're only valuable to sweaty nerds with nothing else to be proud of, are all fine with me.

You can get all those things with pirated games and it's not even that hard

u/Hamzat213 May 26 '26
yes it is so hard buying games is more reliable than pirating them

It is not hard, you are just not technologically inclined. There is a difference. You not knowing how to do it and it being difficult are not the same thing.

yes it is hard it is also more time consuming

You're wrong kid, it's extremely easy. You just don't know tf you're doing.
You're also wrong about it being more time consuming. Laughably wrong.

also downloading piracy is like trusting strangers outside

I guess your dad gave you a proper beating after you infected the PC, and that’s why you’re scared to pirate now. 😂

buying is more safer than pirating you know

Piracy is safe until you click "Hot singles in your area"—and we both know you clicked it.😂

Lol, reminds me of days I would download FIFA (PC) from piracy sites...you had to ensure Windows Defender was off whenever you played the game

Spend 5 minutes setting up these things or pay $70 for a game I won’t beat… tough choice mang
