I don’t follow this as a justification for piracy. Piracy isn’t stealing but, assuming if it was not possible to pirate you were going to pay for the game, you are still causing the person who owns the game to lose money they would have otherwise gained.

My justification is much simpler: capitalists suck, buying games supports capitalists so I’m keeping my money.

I don’t really care if it is stealing. Steal all you want. The random dude making the modern day equivalent of a flash game is certainly not counting on game sales to make ends meet, and the corporations can get fucked and die.

Anyway, Nintendo and Xbox have colossal fortunes; I don’t think pirating one of their games is going to bankrupt them.

fun fact, pirating the game means you actually own it I have repacked drm free pirated versions of games I own just in case i lose access to them or they get shut down

I am just paying a different entity that provides the same “service” for cheaper at the cost of my sense of security.
