I didn’t call anyone out, you responded to my original comment trying to explain your reasoning for pirating which is fine. I am pointing out that your reasoning is flawed and your desire to play games without paying is out of selfishness.
I’m not superior to anyone here. I pirate music, movies and games just like you do and it’s as selfish as anyone else here who does it.
Except you can’t portray breathing as selfish in any manner since it’s a necessary bodily function unlike your desire to pirate which is completely optional. You feel entitled to play something you don’t want to or can’t pay for. It’s selfish behavior.
Yea, pirating something just because you don’t have the money for it is still selfish behavior. Comparing necessary bodily functions to pirating someone else’s IP is a real leap in logic but if that’s what helps you justify your selfish behavior then that’s cool.
You pirating something because you don’t want to miss out on it is inherently selfish. Just because you’re not making as much money as you’d like doesn’t change anything. And no, you can’t frame breathing as selfish since it’s a necessary function for living which can’t be said about your desire to pirate video games.
Pointing out that your excuse of not being able to afford something as a reason to pirate is still selfish behavior.
I’m sure you have but that doesn’t mean that your piracy isn’t rooted in selfishness.
It’s a free market. If you don’t like what someone is charging for something then don’t buy it. If you pirate as a result then that’s fine but it’s selfish behavior.
It’s still selfish behavior. Pirating something because you don’t have the patience to save for it doesn’t change anything.
I pirate because I’m selfish, just like most other people in this thread.

Unless those communities were sharing links to pirated content. If it was just talk about piracy and piracy news then I don’t think that’s a good reason to defederate.
Nothing is ever bad as places like this make it out to be. Reddit had (probably still has) the same propensity for hysteria.
I almost always buy games from resellers as long as it’s the best price. I’d rather have something cataloged in my Steam/Epic/Origin/etc library than deal with having to deal with the installation manually.
You can feel their frustration in this post. Being a mod is a thankless job.
Seems like Australia gets screwed with these types of things more than other first world nations. Even a lot of third world countries have better speeds on average than Australia. Even then though with a 50mbps connection you can just download it overnight or start it before you leave for work and you’ll be good to go.
Dude is setting $40b on fire right in front of our eyes.
If you’re going to buy second hand then you’d be better off with a WMR or Oculus device.
