aye brother

because not all games are made by mega corporations

true but
pirating small developer apps nobody cares
pirate big corporation game people care

indie piracy bad
corp piracy good

i concur, but there are way too many fanatics who freak if you pirate any big corp game

why should I listen to those nerds

nobody said you should

yeah

How about I just buy everything legally

I'm not saying you should pirate anything I'm just saying it should be more acceptable to do it to a faceless corporation than to someone who poured hard work into a passion project
This is a hypothetical scenario

There's just no scenario in which I'd pirate a game (not saying you're telling me to)
All the games I intend on buying are unique, soul-filled experiences that deserve my money (I'm not interested in soulless AAA walking simulators that focus way too much on the graphics instead of the fun factor)
The only exception is if I can't legally purchase it

That's true
Of course, there will be exceptions to my statement

even in its absolute darkest era, Mario had some banger games
like NSMBU, Luigi's Mansion 3, Origami King

Again, fair

I just think good games deserve to be paid for
Unless, of course, you can only get them off eBay for three times the original price because it stopped being produced ten years ago. In which case fire up that emulator

Yeah
