    Two sentences.

    I stand corrected.

    Because you are taking what’s not yours

    But does the legal owner deserve to own it and profit off it? Again I ask you, do you understand the difference between what is ethical and what is legal.

    It’s a game.

    Piracy extends to all forms of media and software, not just games. I believe media is still incredibly important to a persons development. Media in all forms is a way to learn from other people and create a deeper understanding of how the world works. And taking that away from something because they don’t have the means to access it legally is not right. On top of this people deserve to have fun, and taking away peoples opportunity to have fun just because they don’t have the means to access it legally is also not right.

      do you understand the difference between what is ethical and what is legal.

      What is ethical to one - isn’t for another. That’s why we have a legal system.

      On top of this people deserve to have fun, and taking away peoples opportunity to have fun just because they don’t have the means to access it legally is also not right.

      Who will pay for game development and distribution?
