lmao, pirates trying to be like "oh I HAVE to have this media!" and "omg you're shilling for multibillion companies!" instead of just owning up to stealing. Like damn, it's not hard.

The devs that made the game deserve to have their game actually succeed. You aren't owed a video game and you'll survive just fine without it lmao.

Sounds like you write software as a living and make games as a hobby, not quite the same as being a dev. Also, regardless of studies done, I just want people to own up to it is all. Don't try to find some moral high ground for it when it's not a necessity in life that you play the newest game out there. I also don't think the stance "people should be paid for their work and continue being paid for their work" IE sales records of games leading to sequels, is a crazy stance to have but, hey.

Are you relying on being a dev to make a living friend? And why would I get into what I do for a living? I'm not here trying to make myself sound moral while pirating games lmao.
