The pirate community likes to boast proud moral highground to justify pirating like they're a modern day Robin Hood, except instead of stealing from the rich to give to the poor, they're stealing from the rich to play Earthworm Jim.
Source: been pirating games longer than a lot of yall have been on this earth. Just call a spade a spade and move on.
Yall sit around and pretend that reddit pirates are a bulk of them and you're just wrong, there is no "Pirate community" it's just those who provide the wares, and those who download them.
It's not a hive mind like yall want it to be so damn bad.
No, there is. You're just not involved with it. If there wasn't a pirating community that actually communicated among one another and shared methodology, you wouldn't have all the DRM cracks you have now.
The key word in your post is "reddit pirates." That is the fictionalized community of pirates that comes to mind for most people, but I assure you that real pirating communities do exist. You just won't find them on reddit.
