In my opinion, theft is a bit more nuanced than that. You pirating the game denies the producers of the game the profit they would have otherwise derived from you purchasing the game
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
If someone steals my bike, I lose ownership of the bike, that’s theft.
If I pirate a movie, Disney still owns the movie.
If I buy a game, I don’t even own that copy of the game??

no because otherwise I simply wouldn’t have bought it
That’s why it’s called piracy, not theft.

I wonder where the money to pay them off came from since everyone was performing the morally correct action of piracy🤔
Here’s my chance to shill for GOG in this thread! It feels nice to legally own a copy of Stardew Valley
