You don't actually steal games instead of buying them, right?

I've never stolen a game, just pirated.

This. Stealing implies that you're taking something and preventing someone else from having it. "user stole my book" for example suggests that you are now unable to enjoy your book because someone has taken it.

If you take a game from the store without paying for it, you're stealing. Another person could have purchased and played that specific game. Whereas piracy just creates a copy for your own use and doesn't prevent anyone else from acquiring the game.

I've been shoplifting games since the 80s.

user shut up. I'm going to physically pirate you.

I buy the games that I buy.

Not anymore, I'm almost 30 so I'll actually get in trouble if I get caught shoplifting now.

MINGE

You are stealing the labour and costs that went into making the game, retard. Holy fuck, why are pirates so retarded? I pirate AAA games because i would care less about their shitty business practices but i don't go around pretending that what i do isn't stealing.

I did it when I was in high school. Now I always buy them, because I'm too lazy to look for torrents. I just take them on steam and all.

it isnt stealing tho. if im not going to pirate a game, i wont buy it either way. same with music, books, movies, etc.

Holy fuck, why are you so retarded? No, you would have bought it if you didn't pirate it since you have desires to play it. If you truly didn't care about the game then you wouldn't have played it at all. A company, big or small pays an income tax, pays for patents, pays a fee for the publishers or the platform they release their games on, pays money for other costs in order to turn it into a marketable product where in the end they can only get %30-40 of profits but retards like you come here and act like hur dur i am not a thief. Seriously, shut the fuck up you piece of shit spineless cretin mongrel. No, you are definitely stealing from their labour and costs.

i wouldnt have paid to play it anyway retard, i only pirated it to try it out

Pirating is completely natural.

Governments go to war to loot and plunder resources on behalf of corporations all the time. Might makes right.
Don't let the corporations preach on you with their hypocrisy.

Yes, I break into the house of paycucks and steal their videogames, feels good

I didn't take a book
I just digitally copied it

anyone can read that book and now they can do it digitally
no longer can you burn away history corposhill

nah, I just rent them for free and buy them if they don't suck ass
which they do about 98% of the time anymore

I'll be pirating SF6 when it comes out.

nothing sweeter than enjoying somebody else's hard work for free

there are no modern games worth wasting my internet bandwidth on

Pirating doesn't stop anyone from buying said product. You kinda totally sorta completely forgot to factor that in. Way to go, faggot.

i do both

>You are stealing the labour and costs that went into making the game, retard.
No, he's not. The product is in no way diminished. The labor is not gone.
