lol if you had a replicator for bananas united fruit company would probably be working on murdering you.
Yeah, but you've now got something that you didn't pay for that you're supposed to pay for.
I get that you haven't literally deprived them of anything (except a potential sale but that's dependent on whether you ever intended on buying it in the first place) but it's still kinda something you're not supposed to have but you do anyway.
If someone charged money to use the replicator but you just got one from it without paying (assuming infinite bananas here) then you've still stolen something.
Again, I've heard this before and I get the logic but it doesn't really track to me. I don't care, and it's about as victimless a crime as one can achieve but this always seemed like "uh actually..." trying to justify it rather than just owning it.
I really just don't understand the end game of this argument at all.
Super libshit, like, lmao, how can you even call yourself a socialist while still thinking people deserve unlimited rent seeking entitlement for “intellectual property” that only even exists thanks to innumerable unpaid contributions from the work of others.
Damn, that's crazy. Never said that though did I? I literally said it's fine to steal and that it's basically one of the most victimless crimes possible.
You can say that owning land is bullshit because of whatever theory you've got to prove it but it's still trespassing if you're on there without permission from the owner. How does that work? How do you own earth, dipshit? No one even made it.
Within our way of life, right now, you're supposed to pay for video games. Attaining them otherwise is something you're not supposed to do. If you got caught doing this you'd be punished "appropriately" depending on the magnitude of your "theft".
Not saying that we shouldn't change that, but we're clearly talking about different frameworks. Pointless struggle session. It's like 0230 here and I'm a dumbass for not sleeping, gn babe 🥰

This is literally the definition of capitalism. If you believe that it is right to hold and rent capital than you are not a socialist.
I'm well aware. When did describing the system we currently live under suddenly become endorsement of said system?
Even then you should just wait until like four years later for any AAA game, because at that point either the devs will have patched it or enterprising fans will have gotten mad enough to make a community fix.
Bloodlines/KOTOR 2 syndrome. I think Cyberpunk's issues are deeper though. A massive heap of base game mechanics seem to have been stripped out and replaced by bare-bones systems a few months before launch, and the seams show masssively.
Sure they could pull a No Mans Sky style overhaul of everything, but I don't think a game of this size can adapt to having entire game loops replaced like that.
you can’t style your hair after the intro
Cyberpunk 2077 is a world where you can buy new eyes but can't get a fucking haircut
Tbf they released some cosmetic stuff for free for The Witcher 3 so they might do the same here.
Though in this case it feels even more like adding in cut content than the "freeLC" already did.
Yeah, I walk into a world where the tabletop lore assumes full morphological freedom and I can't change my makeup, let alone choose what gender I want to be that day. But I can pop down to the corner store and get a rocket launcher attached to my arm.
No you don’t understand, you just have to wait for CD Projekt to actually finish developing the game, it’ll only take another 10 years
It's actually their regional HQ in Night City, so it didn't take out anything or anyone important.
It was literally 60 years before the game start and tArasaka are based on another continent. In Cyberpunk red (the current Tabletop version set in 2050) they're still not back in Night City, so they came back during/after the Unification war.
He plays an anarchist punk musician who nuked an office building because they kidnapped his girlfriend (she was kidnapped because she was working with a hacker collective to destroy critical infrastructure in an attempt to end capitalism). He gets captured during the mission to nuke the building and has his brain copied to a computer. Eventually you wind up with the copy of him in your brain. Over the course of the game you can talk to him and teach him that individual acts of rebellion don't mean much, that societal change comes from solidarity and trying to change the underlying situation. Or you can lick corporate boot and he'll repeatedly attempt to kill you. Or maybe neither of you learn a lesson. There's a lot of different ways to go.
I mean a game can be bad but entertaining, and from what I've heard Cyberpunk 2077 probably fits into that category. Games are made to do more than just fill up time; the amount of time that a game takes is not proportional to the quality of said game. Undertale is a universally loved game and it takes 5 hours to beat, but a lot of RPGs are designed to take up dozens of hours of your time, and a lot of the time you have to play through a good chunk of the game before you can make a judgement call about whether certain elements are good or not
Yeah, there's a lot to like in the game and it can be fun. But it needed 18 months more in the oven because its' very clear that half the game systems were stripped out before launch.
There's no obligation to play it though. I can play a flawed game for a long time if there's something good inside. If it's total crap I'll drop it quickly
Waiting for them to fix the most important bug before I keep playing - I went a wizard build but you can't use your hacking magic on cops right now, so you can't make them shoot themselves in the head
I'm just here to give my condolences and say that, " I am sorry for your loss."
most of my fun comes from driving around, looking for side missions to bludgeon my through
But these are the worst parts of the game lol
I enjoy it. I love the lore and the ability to hack people and shit while in a fire fight. Clearly not a finished game that was rushed out by shareholders for a holiday. Imma keep playing it. Shits fun
I checked out of the main story when cyber-ghost Keanu Reeves started physically abusing me in my bedroom at night
but overall it was a very mediocre beta version of a game
