In my opinion, theft is a bit more nuanced than that. You pirating the game denies the producers of the game the profit they would have otherwise derived from you purchasing the game

That’s why it’s called piracy, not theft.

And when you call it piracy, some turbo nerds come out of the woodwork to claim it’s not piracy because piracy implies theft

In the end, anyone who’s not a low tier troll knows exactly the meaning of theft in the context of content creation.

Y’all can cope all you want, but there’s a reason a lof of folks feel guilty when pirating indie games, and i bet that’s because deep down they know that ultimately, piracy is wrong. They just shift the goalposts when it comes to corporations
