You aren't a persecuted badass. You pirate out of necessity, not choice. Simple as.

I like having tangible goods, and I'm sure the devs get a good cut.

True. It it indeed necessary to pirate a game in order to see if it is worth purchasing.
Ayden Morgan
correct, moral necessity

>and I'm sure the devs get a good cut.
No, they don't. Any and all licensing profit from merch goes directly to the publisher, unless the deceloper is somehow also the publisher OR they have a developer-created and maintained e-shop.

No I don't, I don't even work. I could spend the rest of my life not working and still have loads of money. I pirate because I want to.

Really? I'd imagine an indie dev gets more return on a selling a T-shirt on their own store (a lot of them do this) than they do a retail game (which involves getting a publisher, store cuts, etc.)
