    What a fantastic imagination.

    If you want to blame physical media going away and scream about monopoly you should go complain to papa Gaben.

        You mean by stealing. You should just be clear with your language.

          I don’t exclusively mean piracy. You can still buy big budget games on disc, and you can buy most games from any other platform, including GOG and Itch which don’t implement DRM. I only care about physical media in the sense that nobody can take it away from you, and DRM-free media achieves the same goal.

          Not to mention that piracy isn’t theft because you’re not taking anything away from anyone, you’re making a copy of some files 🤷‍♀️

          The notion that piracy is theft is capitalist bullshit designed to manipulate people’s emotions by equating a company not making as much profits as they theoretically could have to theft lol

                Oh don’t get me wrong, I pirate when it makes sense. I’m just not delusional about what I’m stealing.

                  Please look up the definition of theft lmao

                  I’m not “delusional” (maybe tone down the ableism btw) because I don’t see theft as something universally bad, stealing from companies is good IMO.

                  But piracy is different because again, you’re not taking anything away from anyone, you’re making an unauthorized copy of it for yourself.

        Nothing, unless you are crazy enough to think Ms has a monopoly.
