Basically I want to pirate android games that are mainly on google play, I'd get the switch ports but I doubt they'd run well

So, where do I pirate android games safely? Also what about switch games?

Thx

Are there any phone games worth playing? The whole market seems to be saturated with shovelware I've given up long ago.

Pretty sure dead cells had an android port, also Terraria and stardew valley

[–] TJDetweiler@lemmy.ca 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Just my 2 cents, but those are devs that should be supported if possible.

I know, but mainly I've bought a copy of Terraria on other platforms and I don't have means to pay online

[–] TJDetweiler@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Totally valid.

Just FYI, if you really did want to pay for something on the app store, you can usually find gift cards at grocery stores to use, which you can buy with cold hard cash in person. Same with Steam and other digital stores.

Not that I would encourage it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Google play gift cards don't work through Aurora store tho

They already made money hand over fist.

I guarantee they are richer than you will ever be.

[–] TJDetweiler@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And they deserve it for making great products, which should be supported if possible.

[–] somethingchameleon@lemmy.ca -3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but they already got it.

How much is enough? Lol.

In your mind, nothing. There is no amount of money they can make off of a game that will have you say "it's okay to pirate it now."

You'd want people to pay you for using a product they consume, especially if it's a quality product. You sound like you're entitled to free shit just because someone made their "fair share" off a game, and I'm sure that fair share is whatever arbitrary number you deem valid, which I'm guessing is low.

I'm saying, pay developers if you enjoy their stuff, especially indie developers. Vote with your wallet. Make it known you enjoy their stuff, so they make more of it. If you want to pirate, feel free, I encourage it, but also pay people what their worth if you can afford to do so. That's my main point.

For you, do whatever the fuck you want because you're not interested in listening to logic or reasoning anyway.

[–] somethingchameleon@lemmy.ca -3 points 8 months ago

Lol. It's sad watching people like you twist your brain in knots to avoid admitting when you're being taken advantage of.

Spend your money how you want :P

[–] somethingchameleon@lemmy.ca -2 points 8 months ago

No, not really.

Phones are best for emulating old games if you have a controller.

Otherwise, I'd just read a book on my phone than play a shitty game with touchscreen controls.
