If you can’t afford it then pirate it. There is no victim so I really see 0 reason not to.
“it’s not yours” is not valid. Who owns it then? Disney? Why does Disney deserve to own it any more than you? They didn’t put in any work to make it, the actors, directors, vfx artists, writers, producers, camera people, etc etc made the film. How come they don’t own any of it?
You specifically chose one sentence from my argument and anilised that
Two sentences.
And I find copyright infringement still unethical. Because you are taking what’s not yours, and the thing you’re taking - is not some vital resource type you’re taking out of desperation. It’s a game.
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.

Who will pay for game development and distribution?
If you want to play a game - pay the owner.
If you can’t afford it - don’t pirate it. It’s not yours.
Upd: Wow, there are a lot of freeloaders in this thread.
Paying the creator I understand, but what is this “pay the owner”?
Creators often sell rights to their game in exchange for money then and there. So creators are not anyways owners.

Huh? The legal system would politely disagree.
For the USA look it up in the USPTO database (USPTO = United States Patent and Trademark Office) or in game’s EULA.
You specifically chose one sentence from my argument and anilised that while ignoring all of the context around it.
Do you understand there is a difference between what is legal and what is ethical and sometimes the law can be unfair or unethical?
I still dont see any issues in a victimless crime.

I stand corrected.
