I was scrolling through everyones incredibly true facts about consuming most things under capitalism is probably unethical, pretty much everything is sourced unethically, and thinking there’s no solution here to this problem
Then I read this and went, “Oh yeah, i forgot about that”, unlike most stuff we consume you can actually just pirate this and then tada, you’ve resolved your pocket lining issue.

Haha, this is a fair response. I’m considering it for the companies that make me feel more icky, but whose games seem really fun.

I’d just like to share my perspective on the piracy front, please don’t pirate things and then act like you’re doing justice. Just pirate things to pirate them. Or I mean, do whatever you want, I just personally find it tiresome seeing people acting like a messiah because they pirated a AAA game.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone view themselves as a morale better because they pirated a game, rather they just either couldn’t afford it or didn’t want to pay a company they didn’t agree with.

It was definitely something I saw a lot on Reddit’s piracy, largely due to it’s larger userbase and laxed memepost rules. I suppose it’s partly on me for taking it too seriously, but it definitely seemed like something people actually believed.

Oh, of course. I don’t think I’m doing some major thing by pirating a game, I promise. Though, to be entirely honest, there are so many games out there and so little time to play them all, I might as well just focus on the games that don’t make me feel dirty.
