Agreed

pirating is always stealing

It should be publishers, game developers often aren't the bad guys, they are just one tiny cog in the whole process/machinery. The publishers are always the ones hiking the prices, gatekeeping by requiring eg PSN or a specific payment method

Nintendo be crying now

But you never bought the game. You buying license to play it. Same as you don’t buy premium spotify to own the music.

Solid logic

Hakita agrees, actually 🥰 Also, it's mostly publishers who say that buying isn't owning, they're the greedy ones, not devs themselves

💯

Publishers*

That's a false equivalence for sure
