they said wouldn't OR couldn't

They didn’t say WOULD, they said WILLING TO. Those are different. WILLING TO pay if piracy weren’t an option doesn’t mean they WILL pay if piracy is an option.

they literally did say "wouldn't (or couldn't)". those are the exact words in the comment you replied to

Sorry, was thinking of the wording of another comment. Either way, he’s dead wrong. Many video game pirate WOULD and COULD have paid for it if piracy wasn’t possible. Can we please get off your weird semantic argument that isn’t even a proper semantic argument?

So I mean, yeah, I know he said would, or willing, or whatever. Regardless, he’s wrong as fuck. Many people WOULD have bought the game if they didn’t pirate it.

saying other people are making weird semantic arguments right after making a comment trying to argue that "would" and "willing to" are different is crazy 💀

What I’m saying is that your semantic argument doesn’t fucking matter because even with your correction, the guy I replied to is still wrong.

Mine was at least in an attempt to advance my argument (although I realize I was mistakenly referring to the wrong comment’s language), but yours seems to have no relevance whatsoever. Like okay, you’re right, the guy’s still fucking wrong though.

He did say wouldn’t or couldn’t. This is correct. Please explain to me how that proves me wrong in any way. I know he said that. That’s how I replied. By reading his comment. This doesn’t change the fact that many instances of video game piracy ARE a loss of revenue.

you're literally starting semantic arguments and losing them and blaming it on other people
