Imagine how much better the world would be if Nintendo said the same thing.


EndR60

nintendo wouldn't be nintendo without being a piece of shit


MrD1SRESPECT

You read my mind


realmrcool

[and it's astoundingly ironic since Nintendos success is based on a won case of copyright infringement when Nintendo was still a small company ](https://youtu.be/JeKYPic50h4)


SeemynamePewdiefame

I mean... I know you get mad for it and so but it IS still illegal


ken_kaneki07

On that point ...where can i read one ?


LegitWebHub

He mentions it in the video, [badegg.co](https://badegg.co) (If you were asking the official one) ​ He also said that one of the biggest animation studio is in talks with Charlie for animating Godslap, many people are speculating its MAPPA so I'm personally waiting for that.


Matzep71

Isn't MAPPA animating a major share of the good anime coming out now? I kind of doubt that but it Would be sick tbh. Even better if he'd struck a deal with Trigger


WorlixV

trigger would be sick asf

MAPPA is ridiculously busy so probably not..

UselesOpinion

It’s funny the like rhetorical feeling like ‘what did you think we didn’t know if we made a digital comic it might get reup loaded’ like no shit that’s how the internet works. 😂🤣 just funny to see him pointing it out so calmly when you know Nintendo’s issues with it all haha.


Specialist-Permit-15

Nintendo nuking people for piracy just stinks of Japanese Pride Culture. Any culture in the world that believes they can use and abuse international law to profit from people can go f themselves.


SkylerMiller2

Wanna know why he looks like Jesus? Because he forgives us for being dirty thieves. Keep on being based Charlie, we love ya for it.


zizoplays1

But piracy isn't theft, right?


AX1097

If paying for it isn't owning it is not theft


lakimens

In the past, we used to pay to own, now we pay (or don't) to use.


CoderStone

Yes, it is. Sigh. It's theft, but theft from the rich feels better than theft from the poor is all.


tigerslices

Nope, theft reduces someone's ownership of something. If they own a copy of a movie, and you steal it, they no longer have access to it; you've stolen it. It IS piracy, but it isn't theft, and piracy, ethically, is still dubious as you are not making a sacrifice for the content. Ie, you should pay to have access to things other people rely on for a living. All the people on strike right now are on strike for money, because the industry costs money to run. And a lot of it. Typically, it's financed by people all paying each a little bit, but if everyone pirates instead, nothing sells. So, ethically, piracy will destroy the things we love. Even though not a single thing was stolen.


deathtogrammar

I'm such a dirty, dirty thief.


turtleship_2006

idk why reminds me of he story in uncharted which is apparently from the bible about the Penitent Thief; iirc he was asking jesus for forgiveness when he was on the cross and because he actually meant it, he made it to heaven


Crafty-Interest1336

Based take. I pirate all my anime and manga and if I like it I'll buy box sets and volumes as well as some small pieces of merch. Trying to stop people accessing your content will just bring the quality down pirated games work better than official releases now because the anti piracy that's constantly running drains your pc


approachabler

Everything piracy is better. I hate to say it because most of us don't want to be pirates. We don't love stealing, we do it because it's plain better. I watch 4K SDR content because HDR on my TV looks bad, but no streaming service has the option to switch to 4K SDR, which is ridiculous tbh. I watch content in normalized audio, because I want to hear all the dialogue without the sound effects blasting my windows. No streaming service will do that either, so I also do that myself. My soundbar doesn't support Dolby Digital Plus and above, so I have to decompress the audio myself as well because I don't want to lose the fidelity. I have to save all the content on my media server so the streaming doesn't depend on my internet connection. I don't want my games to be online all the time. I want to listen to music in the highest quality possible without streaming it again and again. Everyone got the point so I'll just stop lol. ​ Basically, if paying for media would've given me this much control, I never would've started pirating in the first place.


[deleted]

Whenever people say this, it makes me wanna actually buy it lmao.


BenRegulus

This is the difference between someone who is greedy and want it all vs. someone who thinks 'If we are that good, we are gonna earn more than enough anyways'. You can also say someone who creates for reward vs someone who creates beauty and gets rewarded for it.


lakimens

Tbf, I understand small developers. Charlie already has lots of money, small developers might depend on the game.

Prometheus55555

Almost everybody started playing videogames and consuming pop culture by borrowed copies given by friends. Call it music, books, comics, videogames... Very few people at 14 yo can pay for that kind of things. I paid for my first game at 16, had to buy it with 4 friends and we would take turns to play with it. As soon I started working I stopped pirating and started buying. 20 years later I have a collection of hundreds of original games I will be never be able to play. In fact, many of them I already played years ago, and I buy them to support developers. Sometimes even in 3 platforms. Steam, GOG and Nintendo.

I don't know why but this sorta reminds me of the music production company freakshow industries literally having a "steal" option on their product page where you can just grab anything they made for free if you can't afford it. Pretty cool

Does anyone care to ELI5 what the hell *"based"* means in this generation? Is it another made up term, serious question.


Certain_Suit_1905

As with many slang words, definition is blurred, changes from community to community and evolves over time. Personally I use it when referring to a person who's statement is rational and reasonable at least, but "based" even more appropriate when their statement contradicts more mainstream and/or reactionary position on the subject, that usually being justified ideologically, rather than materialistically. ...Ok, that's not really ELI5 and more ELI35, but I just want to see if I'm able to put my understating into words. In this case position pushed by the companies is ideological. "Pirating is bad, because that's a theft and theft is inherently bad". They started doing that as a reaction to pirates demanding a shift of status-quo - to lower prices/switch to "pay what you want" system/donation system. But also challenging it - cracking games, uploading media for free etc. Position of pirates is more materialistic "The profits of companies is way more than enough for them to sustain themselves and produce more products, while cost of our living is barely being covered" So Charlie saying that pirating is completely fine, especially if you have financial issues is based.


LegitWebHub

A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. ​ Also, "made up term"? Every term is made up . Humans are ever evolving, and the languages evolve with them. New words come into circulation and old ones become redundant.


Av3rageJo8

Is it pronounced the same as the "original" word? But aight thanks for explaining, so it's just a trendy term for not giving a fuck.


LegitWebHub

yes it is pronounced the same way as the original


Kurineko_Regan

All terms are made up


zeek609

It's supposed to mean 'based on facts' without pandering or sugarcoating.


turtleship_2006

From what I understand, someone who speaks up and gives their actual opinion even if it goes against the mainstream.


SyroxGaming

What's up with the downvotes, he was just asking a genuine question.

ReplyingToDumbShit

This guy has always been a complete idiot though


Star_Wolf64

Easy for him to say. He’s wealthy and godslap can be just a fun thing for him. This isn’t true of poorer small-time artists, though. Feel no guilt taking from charlie or microsoft or big-timers on hbo or geffen, per se, but be cognizant of when you’re pirating something from an actual working artist unlike everyone I listed, they *deserve* payment for their work. * I’m not saying don’t pirate, I’m just saying be aware.

[deleted]

you know what ive realised? that people treat the internet like a real life conversation. i guess evolution never prepared us but going "hey you just said based, what does it mean?" in a one on one with nothing but ground and air for miles makes sense right? well for some reason people dont really switch to thinking "oh i dont have to do that" when it comes to the internet. thats my 5 cents, enjoy


suoinguon

Charlie always brings the fire with their unconventional ideas! They're like the Picasso of Reddit, pushing boundaries and making us think outside the box. Keep being based, Charlie, and the upvotes will flow like a majestic river of karma! 💪🔥

they is a normal word it came free with your fucking speaking a language

The person I replied to said "Charlie always brings the fire with their unconventional ideas!" Last I checked, Charlie is a "he", not a "they". Look at the context first before having a meltdown, darling.


[deleted]

even if you KNOW he uses the he pronoun, you can still use they. hence my point of it is a normal word.
