    They just don’t want to consider that it’s possible to steal from the people who made the game even if paying for it doesn’t guarantee you’ll own it forever.

      The copyright troll known as “publisher” just will pocket all money you think you paid to people who made the game.

        Option one: pay for game, some money goes to publisher, some goes to creators

        Option two: pirate game, no money goes to anyone

        Which one helps the creators?

          Option three: Donate to creator or buy something directly from them to help offset the cost of pirating.

          Pirates: Nah I’m good fam. I just want free shit because I’m too poor and don’t get paid enough.

            A donation or purchasing something else doesn’t legally or morally entitle you to owning an unrelated product made by the creator though…

              it’s immoral to prevent people from sharing tools or stories or songs or skills. i’m entitled to enjoy whatever someone wants to share with me.
