      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.

        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

          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🤔
