That’s shitty. (Gaming)

Lol.

You might has well just buy it then. If you’re going to take a moral position, actually stand by that position and don’t play it. Now you’re just doing something that allows you to feel morally superior while still doing the thing you want. It’s like saying Disney doesn’t deserve your money and then pirating all their movies. That’s not exactly an ethical position to take.

This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t be able to share a game with a friend, but I do think it weakens your stand. I feel like it’s not just about giving them money—if someone really had an issue with the culture of a developer, why not reject their games outright and simply skip them altogether?
