You might want to get this guy's video taken down;

[vagrant igloo]

Upon searching up "Lossless Scaling" on google, one of the first results is "how to get Lossless Scaling for free in 2024"

The video proceeds to give a tutorial on how to get a legitimately cracked version of your program, so, mildly concerning...

[lunar spire]

yeah and his way is sketchy also so you shouldn't follow the video and older version

[vagrant igloo]

I wouldnt follow the video in the first place tbh

[tribal steppe]

Honestly, this program is a revolution. It's worth the money it asks for, you have to give support to these people

[vagrant igloo]

exactly

[tribal steppe]

Pirating it is really stupid

[vagrant igloo]

I despise those who distribute programs that people put genuine thought and effort into

the price is already so low

[tribal steppe]

In any case, piracy is endless, and it never ends. So it is useless to ask to remove those videos, unfortunately
@vagrant igloo

[vagrant igloo]

Mmm true

I personally use emulators but I only play games I own bc I cbf plugging in the consoles to play them

And I'd rather play on pc anyway

[tribal steppe]

People, they will understand for themselves that it is a program worth paying for

[vagrant igloo]

^^

[tribal steppe]

I also, always emulators, and I can say that this program IS LIFE. 144 FPS EVERYWHERE

[vagrant igloo]

totally agree man with lossless scaling the games have never been better

[tribal steppe]

I had a good friend of mine play Wind Waker HD with me from 3 days to yesterday, and playing it in 144 fps from 30 going is life.
Unfortunately, there are still some small glitchy artifacts, but the game is thoroughly enjoyable

[vagrant igloo]

was ironically playing that with ls not even an hour ago

[spark wave]

I mean, there’s penny pinching and then there is penny stealing…

Appreciate you guys wanting to help the dev. I do believe that appealing to the conscience would ultimately work better than directly battling piracy

My thinking is as follows: The video has been seen by many people already, so if it goes down, something else will pop up on YT or elsewhere on the internet with a quick google search for "LS app for free". To my awareness, many people who pirate inexpensive software like this either can't buy it from their region, or they're broke or have very low income (or just cheapskates, yes :P).

Thought I was forgetting something while writing this. Yes, definitely that. ☝🏻

[runic willow]

some pirates(like me) enjoy the program so much they buy it eventually some wont and never will some wants to just test

so its fine

if you dig through off topic you can find plenty of people buying it after pirating the software

[nimble grail]

those videos are actually quite helpful, i tried it and found out that my gpu couldnt handle it, making the fps worse. so i never bought it

[lone yew]

Here's a hot take: THS or an LS rep might contact the uploader guy and just ask him to include, in the video/description/comments, a request from the Lossless Scaling developer for anyone who tries the app, enjoys using it, and has access to it on Steam, to purchase it if doing so would not be a burden to them financially.
