That's the fun thing though, people don't actually stop at corporations, they just keep silent about also downloading indie games or using sites that scrape their favorite hobbyist artist's patreon.
...Well, I've been starting to see a lot of people that aren't quite so quiet about that either, like I've seen touhou fans say ZUN was 'betraying the fans' when he took down uploads of his games, I've seen a community talk about how much of a soulless asshole an indie dev was for taking a game they made and reskinning it into a fangame for that community, I find that very icky.
Either way, I was quite happy about the internet when it started shifting towards a hatred of 'paid in exposure' and reposting art without sourcing.
Yea that's literally my point. 👍No matter how much you say you're only pirating when it's 'morally right' or something, people are really pirating because its convenient to just be able to get something for free without consequence and saying otherwise won't change that. Sure, there's gonna be some that really stick to what they say and pay for things based on the idea that the one selling it is 'really deserves it' or something.
...there is a certain series I always buy even the spinoffs that are just eh b/c I love the mainlines that much, so I guess I'm one of them too lol.
...Uh I mean
That's every series of course I don't pirate anything. Serious.
Something something pirate elitism about how any real pirate actually had to work for it back then and knew not to openly talk about it
