Pretty sure the artists get paid whether consumers pirate the final product or not? The Bungie devs don't get paid less money for every game that is pirated 🤡

Actually they might. Game developers get bonuses based on how well the game sold. Well a lot at least. It's not just games though.

I still pirate things. It's just way more convenient than having 30 subscriptions
