People will pirate no matter what and for various reasons. That's fine. Gloating about it publicly is just weird to me though.
Yea i dont feel like posting pictures of me and my pirate ship. But i like to spread it by words or if i can in a forum that tries to keep me anonymous :)
I prefer heavy-handed metaphors and vague references, myself.
Like "when streaming became cable 2.0 I decided to dust off my old hat and hit the high seas"
Going out of your way to make sure everyone knows exactly whats going on in your queue at that particular moment is just excessive.
But then how will you know about how big my queue is?
Its hard to not see how big your queue is...
Fun story:
Tonight I pirated the PC version of Firmament (made by Cyan Worlds). I backed the game well over two years ago but the game was delayed, and then when it finally released a year ago, Cyan only released the PC version, and the PS4/5 version —the version I elected to receive — still hasn’t come out yet. I don’t know if it ever will and I’m tired of waiting.
So I pirated a game I bought for a different platform because it never released for the platform I bought it for.
