    I pirate because I literally cannot afford it, but do buy often when I can. We’re not the same.

      It’s still selfish behavior. Pirating something because you don’t have the patience to save for it doesn’t change anything.

        So it’s not selfish to repeatedly rerelease old games and charge full price for them? It’s not selfish to never come down in price? Ever?

          It’s a free market. If you don’t like what someone is charging for something then don’t buy it. If you pirate as a result then that’s fine but it’s selfish behavior.

        Lmao I’ve saved up for many games. I’ve also bought games after pirating them. You don’t know me.

          I’m sure you have but that doesn’t mean that your piracy isn’t rooted in selfishness.

              Pointing out that your excuse of not being able to afford something as a reason to pirate is still selfish behavior.

                Yeah, forgive me for not wanting to miss out on something because my economy is shit. Despite me telling you that I buy when I can afford it. Never mind the fact that you can literally frame anything and everything as “selfish behavior” in this life, even breathing. Let me point out that you’re just an another smug asshole.

                  You pirating something because you don’t want to miss out on it is inherently selfish. Just because you’re not making as much money as you’d like doesn’t change anything. And no, you can’t frame breathing as selfish since it’s a necessary function for living which can’t be said about your desire to pirate video games.

                    And me paying it back when I can is what? Me trying to save up for the good things in life while I’m still alive and able is what? Me supporting the games I like in ways theat doesn’t involve spending is what?

                    Breathing is inherently selfish because you’re consuming a resource… with a virtually infinite supply… just like software. Imagine that.

                    You know what’s also selfish and self-serving? Being a smug asshole.
