Hey if paying for a game isn’t owning it, pirating it isn’t stealing it
It never was, it's just copyright infringement.
pirating isnt stealing, its a different crime!
Coming up next: Gamers whining that studios don't put as much effort and time into game development anymore.
I think you are 20 years late
Eyyy, it's that phrase I came up with again! It's so goddamn great seeing everyone pick it up!
Too bad it's just factually incorrect, but hey, congrats on the successful meme I guess.

Give me the razor and I'll pirate the blades.
Exactly. Regardless of whether buying is owning or not, piracy still isn't stealing.
