    I am not sure what you mean. I am not vouching for people that buy games now to stop and become pirates. I also sincerely hope no one has forgone a daily hot meal or sold a kidney just to obtain a game which can be pirated.

    Piracy does exists right now in the us and many people do so; i have yet to see it being the main factor of a studio going bankrupt.

    Its an indication that most people are willing to do the right thing which is a different thing depending on their socio-economic circles.

      To simplify, it would be nice if everyone got a universal provision for food, housing, and money, but they don’t. Your argument is that “if we had these basic things, there’s no reason not to have X game for free.”

      BUT, we don’t yet have those things. That makes it not fair to just take it.

        Thats really isn’t my argument though.

        I am absolutely not saying people should pirate simply because of some ideal, before that ideal exists.

        I have been saying that within the current system all people with enough means to live comfortably ought to pay a fair share to creators, as am i.

        I am not sure why this mis communication persists i thought to have clarified it at least 3 times now that that is not what i meant.

        Have a good (probably next) day now.
