WTF who watches anime?‽
Similarly, GabeN has a great take on it:I don't 100% agree with this video but Gaiman said some interesting things.
I mean , the first weeks are vital for a product(bad sales may kill it) but how many games or film have we watched/played because a friend lent it to you.That also hurt the sales if we think about it.
In the end , I don't care, I will buy what I think is interesting and ignore what's not.
its funny you say that since thats how i dealt with every David cage "game" just watching it on youtube. there was also a game called asuras wrath thats 50% cutscenes, 40% quick time events and 10% gameplay and the gameplay sections were awful.So does watching someone play Telltale games on youtube count as piracy or not? Watching a movie on the internet usually does but I'm not too sure about video games that try to be movies.
If human trafficking and slavery wouldn't exist why would the Ancient Greeks have invested so many silver coins to invent drama and philosophy?If IP rights didn't exist why would people invest millions/billions into their products?
Especially comicbooks are absurdly overpriced. Four bucks for 15 minutes of entertainment is retarded.Also, as I grown older I’ve become a lot more money conscious.
The creators don't get much. For every book that's sold, the author gets like 10% or so.Once I thought that piracy is a bad thing because those poor artists wouldn't get the reward they deserve. What a load of bullshit that is. Having observed the BS that's going on, I've come to the conclusion that we have a moral obligation to rip the guts out of the beast that is the entertainment industry. The world would be a better place without copyright shenanigans. It's also an effective incentive for content creators to spend their time more usefully. So go over and pirate as much as you can. I want to see the whole thing getting teared apart and shredded into pieces. If you like an artist's work it's fair and reasonable to directly donate money, though.
