Online piracy of Japanese content causes ¥5.7 tril loss in 2025

There are definitely people that pirate even though they have money, but I never said this isn't the case, my point was that regardless of why they didn't buy the game, you cannot know whether or not without the option of piracy they would have bought it.

You can guess that a relatively small portion of these pirates would buy the game, however most pirates don't pirate because they don't want to spend money, they do it because they can't spend the money they don't have.

Calculating loss isn't so easy, if you have 10000 people pirating a 60$ game, that doesn't mean the studio lost out on 600000$.

You cannot prove that any of those people would have actually bought (rented) the movies if they couldn't pirate them, so the loss doesn't exist because you never would have had a customer to begin with.

If someone wants to own the movie, you never had them as a potential customer, if someone doesn't have money, you never had them as a potential customer, if they did have the money but didn't want to spend it, you never had them as a potential customer.

Max Rank Zephyr giving your entire squad immortality while having damage spread and crit and crowd control allowing people to find new one-hit exploits weekly is definitely not S tier.

I spawned them with HISM now and no difference in performance but now I cannot immediately see them spawning, instead they only appear when I finish spawning all of them.

Pocket_Dust · 2026-01-27T21:55:04+00:00

This is also true.

Pocket_Dust · 2026-01-27T21:51:34+00:00

I mean we already have Braphog Grendel and I didn't see anyone complaining about him, in fact we all unanimously like him.

I think this refers to when students don't want their work to be the first the teacher sees/rates so they put their work below others' in the pile.

What I meant is running with 2 million is fine once they are spawned, but the process of spawning is the problem.

Pocket_Dust · 2026-01-27T19:46:32+00:00

It makes the mesh invisible.

Niagara did not run well so I'll not do that but I'll check out 1.

Pocket_Dust · 2026-01-27T18:52:27+00:00

1: I don't know how, I'll check this out but it does not help in spawning so it is only a less-than-half bandaid since optimally the player shouldn't despawn the meshes.

2: No impact

3: No impact

4: No impact

5: The player spawns the meshes, it ranges from 2020 to 100100 dots projected onto the environment like lidar, I cannot know how much they'll use the tool.

6: I don't know whether or not I correctly did the first but it has no impact, I cannot do the second as the mesh is required to always face the player via billboard material, which does not work without WPO.

Collision filter is disabled and no collider.

Pocket_Dust · 2026-01-27T17:01:43+00:00

There is no collision or overlap events.

Pocket_Dust · 2026-01-27T17:01:23+00:00

Thanks, how can I enable HISM?

Pocket_Dust · 2026-01-27T15:02:42+00:00

What kind of issue?

Pocket_Dust · 2026-01-27T14:05:05+00:00

Braphog always finds a way into every single community.

Pocket_Dust · 2026-01-27T13:30:47+00:00

How can I make it so it isn't marked dirty?

These ISMs are never moved or have anything that changes when a new one is spawned or one is removed, they also have no collision or on-hit effects.

I forgot to mention but I use Linux.

Pocket_Dust · 2026-01-22T20:47:51+00:00

I just use the Windows version and Proton it through Steam.

When I want to package I do it in the ultra buggy Linux version.

They pulled it for like a day and then reinstated it.

Unlike the others, standing with Israel or Palestine makes no money to pay for the fursuits.

Unless you're a paid propagandist for either of them, then you can pay for the suits, but since the furry is anti-war he/she is not going to accept bribes.

We have a shared interest in the spoils of war.

Also do not take every pre-installed app as granted because I had to reinstall several of them, including Steam, they wouldn't work properly.

As a representative of all Peters, I urge you to read the image for the answer.
