Adobe CC. They've added new features recently to justify a subscription, but it's still not that good of a pitch. Some editors will have offline PCs so that their software doesn't get fucked up by anything (SUPER common in music), so having a subscription model works against professional users of their software.

I live life to the fullest by driving my family around in the backseat of my Prius, and not being skinned alive by road rash. You live life to the fullest by praying there isn't sand on the next exit ramp.

We are not the same.

Yeah, OP of this thread (me) actually has schizophrenia. Being a right wing shithead isn't the same as being schizophrenic. Schizo is just the new way people have of calling people "autistic" like people did a decade ago.

Probably. It's just odd to me that all the ones I use/used a lot have pretty much zero PC games. Torrentleach isn't really a gaming tracker, still just odd that console piracy has grown so much in the past few years.

That makes a lot of sense. I thought it was really odd that there were 50+ pages for Switch games but only like 3 for PC games. Reason would say that if you're buying a $2000 PC, you're less likely to have a desire to not pay for games. Even I've moved away from PCs and switched to Android emulation because of price.

I'd definitely be more likely to buy a Switch or PS4 than a new PC right now. And I'd probably be pirating on them

 

I got out of video game piracy for a while, but I'm coming back. One thing I have been absolutely SHOCKED by is how finding PC game torrents is actually kind of difficult from my normal sources. Now it'd be one thing if I just wasn't seeing games, but for some reason Playstation and Switch have far more uploaders and seeders on the sites. This is something that would have been unthinkable when I was into piracy. But from a quick glance, it looks like the Switch has a bigger piracy scene than PCs do right now. This was so extreme I couldn't find a torrent for Minecraft past 1.12. I found a download, but not a torrent. Or I couldn't find any of the old versions of Five Nights At Freddy's on PC, but could find them on other platforms. Things I'd consider true PC staples of the past decade with absolutely nothing popping up in my normal sources.

I'm not asking where to find PC torrents (although I certainly wouldn't mind). Are consoles actually becoming more popular to pirate for?
