People usually dismiss game piracy as being an inherently bad thing. What are your thoughts on the morality of piracy and its impact on the industry, and how that may vary between different games and developers.

    100% always pirate games from the major development corporations, don’t give them your money, they’re killing the industry.

    I agree! I wish I earlier stopped paying for games, despite my persistent hate for payment as a child.

    Otherwise, I’ll often pirate a game to try it out, and if I like it enough to see myself actually playing and returning to it, i’ll buy it. I’m angry that game renting doesn’t really seem to be a thing anymore, I miss being able to go to the blockbuster with my parents as a youth to rent a game for the week, why did we accept a new digital system that makes that impossible?

    Game renting is always seen in a bad light by people; but I agree with your stance.
