In my opinion, theft is a bit more nuanced than that. You pirating the game denies the producers of the game the profit they would have otherwise derived from you purchasing the game
Y’all can cope all you want, but there’s a reason a lof of folks feel guilty when pirating indie games, and i bet that’s because deep down they know that ultimately, piracy is wrong. They just shift the goalposts when it comes to corporations

That’s why it’s called piracy, not theft.
And when you call it piracy, some turbo nerds come out of the woodwork to claim it’s not piracy because piracy implies theft
In the end, anyone who’s not a low tier troll knows exactly the meaning of theft in the context of content creation.

My favorite take in this thread was a guy saying that two months after release all the artists etc are paid off therefore piracy is ok lmao
I wonder where the money to pay them off came from since everyone was performing the morally correct action of piracy🤔
no because otherwise I simply wouldn’t have bought it
