You don't actually know this, but you're basing it as a fact without having the number of those that have a copy vs those that don't, you can't do this because you know it would be an insane task to go out and ask every single eprson using the emu, yet you should to back up your evidence, rather than saying "yes everyone is a pirate" without backing it up.

According to this 44% of PC pirates either rarely or never pay for the software. http://www.pcgamer.com/pc-piracy-survey-results-35-percent-of-pc-gamers-pirate/ Keep in mind that games can go on a massive discount on steam, meaning that someone can pirate a game, and then pay $15 dollars years down the road, while being able to truthfully check off the "I paid for it" box. With Persona 5, this isn't a possiblity though, since you can't have a steam sale for a game that isn't on steam. This will raise the piracy rates up to 70% or greater with ease. 

You make it sound like literal gunpoint, you make it sound akin to the cold war style of fear, when it's far,f ar from anything like either example.

Metaphor and hyperbole. Learn when to recognize them. 

Then you were never really one to advocate for it in the first place, you were merely basing your own opinion based on what the company thinks, not the people, which isn't really a healthy mindset to have (because it makes me think you're chummy with any company you like, rather than what people actually want).

People actually want free icecream. Boo on icecream companies for not delivering!

The JRPG genre isn't exactly owned by a single platform either, as it's spanned across multiple ones. It's not really about meeting me halfway though, it's more about finding something I have to agree with.

Uh, yeah it is. The 3DS has more JRPGs than any other modern system. Sony owned the JRPG back in the PS1 and PS2 days. It is about meeting you halfway. Want me to go back to what I originally argued for? Because I can. 

You're being rather specific to system exclusive games, rather than third party exclusive games btw. No, no they aren't exclusive to PC gamers. We can dance about thisall day, but you're flat out wrong (which aligns with your general eprception of PC gaming from past posts).

Except that PC gamers already threw a tantrum over this with BotW and paid people to hack it to work on PC. Are you forgetting that? Whether it's a third party game or not doesn't make a difference. But you want to keep using special pleading to say why X doesn't count, and Y doesn't count. 

No they don't, they sell it to those who buy the console it's sold on. Boycotting the PS4 version doesn't automatically translate into wanting a PC version, nor does the message even begin to translate into wanting a PC version. You don't seem to understand that you cannot boycott what you aren't being sold to. They are selling towards PS4 gamers, not PC, so how are PC gamers supposed to boycott for a PC version?.

What exactly is stopping a PC gamer from getting a PS3 or a PS4 to play the game on? You keep acting as if it's physically impossible for somebody to own more than a single system. I prefer PS4, but that doesn't stop me from getting a 3DS or a Switch as companion consoles. They *are* selling to PC gamers. Nothing is stopping PC gamers from picking up a PS3 or a PS4 to play the game on. What don't you get about that? 

We're talking digital games here, which you in general consider a "rip off", so now it's not a rip off, that paying more for code is better now?.

I've stated in general that digital is a rip off, but I've also stated more specifically that $60 for a digital game on release day is a rip off, and that $30 several years after the game launched is a rip off. 

If you aren't a fan of PC gaming, then you don't have to browse imgur for the MR memes. I don't go around looking MS or Sony news (if anything the MS news finds me via Discord or DSOG, a PC news site).

It just pops up on Imgur or reddit whether I'm looking for it or not. It's not as if I actively go looking for that tripe. It comes to me, unless I want to ditch half my social media.
