Which of course makes no sense - if you don’t have the money to buy it either way, pirating has no effect on revenue.
Ah, Gaben’s “piracy is a service issue.”
The only time I see piracy as unethical is if you would have paid for it otherwise and it’s a small creator who will actually notice the lesser revenue. This covers very, VERY few cases because the vast majority of the time if something is good enough to want to pirate it, it’s popular enough that more than enough people paid for it to adequately compensate the creator.
Basically, are you hurting the creator’s ability to make a living by pirating it? Giving them less money when they already have more than enough doesn’t qualify.

Nope, it’s rural vs. urban.
When I googled “What countries in Africa start with a K”, it gave the correct answer, but when I googled “Do any countries in Africa start with a K”, it gave me the ChatGPT nonsense.
Then those people are stupid as fuck. No way around it.

Diablo 2 was completely remade graphically. Whether it was worth the price is another matter, but effort was put into it.
What, you don’t like watching videos like you’re looking through a keyhole?
They denuvo the shit out of their games, so it’s actually pretty hard to pirate them nowadays.
