It speak more about this age of consumerism, regardless how evil one company are, people will still buy their stuff because they don’t care.

Most gamers won’t even hear about it. Just seeing the article already puts you in the “highly informed” bucket

I’m not so sure. When it comes to a conscious decision to either pirate or buy, crap like this often helps with the guilt.

You should feel absolutely zero guilt about pirating “triple-A” software. It’s a morally neutral act. The money they would’ve got from your purchase is so insignificant to them that it wouldn’t even show up on their annual returns. Assuming they file them.

Wow I am so incredibly surprised.
Anybody remember when Rockstar used to parody American capitalism, not embody it?
