I've realised after 3 minutes and I've lost interest. This guy, Larry Bundy Jr and Kim Justice are the three best channels on YT I think. I'd love to see a proper piracy video from one of those 3 about how it affected different consoles or generations. The Amiga was supposedly plagued but imo was massive because of piracy, windows became the number 1 OS because of piracy, the Dreamcast, in my opinion, died because of it but I'd love a properly researched video on the matter.

@my man weirder still that it isn't people getting up in a huff about indie games getting pirated, nooo, it's overpriced AAA tosh people defend. Can't help but feel that it's more often out of buyer's remorse than being that dumb. Also I still love the story of darkwood devs putting it up on pirate sites themselves once it got onto key reseller sites, urging players to pirate it instead of using grey market to avoid potential issues caused by said grey market for the dev (since these are often used to launder money). Immediately went and bought the game on steam cuz I gotta respect that.

The closest I have come to sid meiers pirates in modern formats (and I use the word "closest" quite loosely) was Black Flag. I don't think this was a coincidence either. You can see the inspiration from the treasure maps to the pirate rescues and many things between stitched into the fabric of the game. Not a perfect modern day by any means rendition but by far gave me a similar positive feedback experience. In short Black Flag was so far the best effort but lost in it's bonds to another game altogether.

The Bane Of Existence Fair enough. I personally didn't get that from the video, but I was mostly waiting for the few hits of nostalgia more than anything so maybe Stu could have made it work.

Stu, it would be cool if you were to somehow tie these games in, instead of just spitting a list of the most notable ones. If you want to talk about the Monkey Island - cover it all in one go and mention the games influenced by it, which probably is going to include a game that might tie in to a different one, allowing for a transition. Some historical background would be nice too - for instance, in many games you damage other ships with a barrage, which is completely unrealistic, as you don't want to damage the cargo you're stealing, nor sink the ship and lose it all. It's kind of your trademark, outside of editing.

The 3rd installment was, Age of Pirates or something, was egregious mess and does not even deserve the title of a game. City of abandoned ships, the 4th installment, is ok go to, but i had problems with it since release (crashing, and generally buggy). I'm looking forward to the day when a more competent studio makes a game in that vein. I think i still have the Seadogs 2 (Pirates of Caribbean game you are speaking of), although heavily modded. (PiratesAhoy is still up i think, the modding forum for the game, and they may still have mods for all 4 games up)

I love these off-beat videos Stu puts out every once in a while

And if you want to go even further back, Synergistic Software's "Odyssey: The Compleat Apventure" [sic] was shockingly vast for the games of the era. Part 1 was an open world island you could freely explore, until you saved enough "quadroons" (gold) to buy a ship. Part 2 took place on the high seas, where you actually had to sail your ship to multiple islands by using the winds to move you, fighting pirate ships (or becoming a pirate by attacking merchant ships). Part 3 took place on the final island where you try to take over the evil Caliph's castle.

Do what you want coz a pirate is free! YOU ARE A PIRATE!

"Turn off your computer and go to sleep" Yep its late I probably should...

Definitely some of the most satisfying videos to watch

As brilliant as ever. Thanks for the quality content!

And I tought it's about my kind of piracy

I think the title is a bit misleading, the video talks about piracy as a feature within the game it's self, rather than piracy of games.

Another amazing video. Keep up the great work!

this video is great, thank you so much for making it
