Holy fucking shit it’s like talking to a brick wall. These people are seemingly incapable of understanding who “pirates” and why they “pirate”. I keep trying to explain that if I were to make a game, I wouldn’t give a damn if people pirate because I just want people to enjoy the game. If people can afford it, cool, share among your friends!

I swear to god these nerds can’t understand the corpo isn’t “losing revenue” when someone pirates. They either weren’t going to buy the game anyway or someone is just trying it out…

These people are just corpo bootlickers catgirl-disgust

that’s the post screm-a aaaah

    I think piracy is stealing but it’s like fractions of a cent. The money isn’t going to the laborers who make the products we enjoy while the majority of profits go to execs. The execs are stealing thousands (and sometimes millions) from their artists. Me stealing $0.000000007 of profit with thousands of people doing the same has more impact on the power grid than it does the livelihoods of creators. I’m doing more harm to their cell phone network than I am to their paycheck.
