      I pirated three copies of Starship Troopes and I’ll download it again just out of pure spite.

      You wouldn’t download a car

      I got into 3D printing so I could pirate copy physical object.

    Your first mistake was paying for an ad supported plan

    Anyway thanks to Hollywood accounting only a few billionaires will get your money and not the people that actually worked on the movie

    Either buy the DVD or pirate the movie. Myself, I have all of the movies and the show on disc.

    I’m not from Buenos Aires, but I say kill 'em all!

      Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.

      Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.

          Absolutely. I haven’t personally pirated anything since getting netflix years ago, but its looking more and more tempting to get back into it.

          So long as gaben draws breath that won’t happen, and his children are VERY in line with their fathers vision and choices from all appearances.

          So at the earliest we have at least one generation after gaben that we likely won’t have to worry.

          Typically it’s the grandkids that ruin everything tho when it comes to family businesses. Normally cause the kids suck ass at teaching their parents wisdom.

          And the great grandkids basically ALWAYS ruin everything.

          Still weird to think of valve as a privately owned family business. But it is.

      Starship.Troopers.1997.US.25th.Anniversary.DV-COYS

      the superior 25th steelbook anniversary release which was regraded for dolby vision and is generally considered the definitive release. Out of print, $70-$100 online given the limited supply and the demand for the best version

      They stopped printing the 25th anniversary because it was the more expensive version (steelbook) but they could’ve pressed it into the same stupid plastic case as the $15 version they keep on the market

      Piracy is ethically and morally correct against hostile corporations that refuse to provide the best quality product, or provide it temporarily then remove access to only then provide a subpar product, especially when said corporations have excessive amounts of capital.

      Also fuck amazon
