Odd contradiction. I support pirating when a person can't access media legally (whether due to financials or just dick-moves by corps). However, this is the same logic that writers are striking against with streaming and I sure as hell support them.

Devil's advocate: is the time spent playing a pirated retro game still a kind of lost revenue, since you could be spending your time buying and playing all their new shit? I say this as a long-time retro gamer who finally broke down and bought some new shit recently.

In a sense I guess? But then it’s still their fault for not keeping it available for purchase.

Or they pull a Nintendo "Heres a game we made 20 years ago. That will be $50"

Yes, just as much as when someone dares to enjoy a different hobby.

We are just statistics to them.

I'd say no, because they don't own your time by default.

I would be so fucking happy if this would be true.
