1337x admins allowing BG3 torrent with bitcoin miner stand after multiple reports in comments with proof, seems like the site lost it’s credibility. Suspicious that the user is also shilling to donate to 1337x, suspecting him being somehow affiliated with 1337x mods

Okay, was that supposed to prove a point or something?

The problem is that it doesn’t. You running this one game that works, doesn’t account for the huge library of games that don’t run in that manner. It doesn’t invalidate my point that spinning up VMs just so you can pirate games is a lot of bullshit to go through just to pirate a game that’s gonna be $10, 6 months from now.
I dunno man, you made a point, he countered your point, and you got defensive and doubled down, sounds like the discussion is over
That’s…what discussions are… point, counterpoint, point, counterpoint, growth of opinion, why would the discussion stop just because we might disagree? We can continue refining our arguments and both grow from the discussion. Why the hell are people on Lemmy so…weird? I’ve got so many of these discussions where people just devolve into name calling or accusatory statements instead of just…being normal. Don’t you guys like to actually have people with different views challenge your opinion so that you can think about it more, refine, and have a chance to change that opinion? Have you been so neglected in life that you don’t know what a normal discussion between people is like?
I dunno but me personally I love to play devils advocate even if I don’t necessarily agree with what I’m saying 100% just for the sake of being able to hash it out with somebody other than my self.
I’m saying that it seems like you’re shutting down rather than having a calm discussion, you absolutely seem like the weird one here bud
You see?
You are a prime example. The reply you are referring to is nothing but a calm reply to the person who countered my original statement. He mentioned one game and my reply just points out…there’s more than one game and his “point” only works in a narrow set of circumstances. Nobody is “shutting down” as you claim, I simply replied with a counter point.
But he brought up a good point…the game in question that this discussion is about does not have the VM issues you were talking about.
Plus based on your information at the start of the discussion about having GPU passthrough setup, it doesn’t sound like you actually have a lot of setup to do in order to have tried this out, which sort of also works against the argument of it being too much of a hassle for a game that will be cheaper down the line.
It really does seem more like doubling down than anything else. The discussion didn’t have any real point to keep going past “Doesn’t apply in this case”
Like you can argue that it affects other games, but you just completely dropped the point that the present discussion it does not apply to, like no acknowledgement whatsoever.
I mean, I get what you’re saying, and yeah in your scenario it doesn’t make sense. There are some people for who piracy is much more necessary
