foad01: I know several people who pirate video games. There is a difference between them and the "Piracy is OK"-people in this thread. They don't try to justify what they are doing. They don't try to justify piracy with "I has to defeat the evil corporations" or "corporations steal from us so we steal from them" or "piracy exists anyway" or whatever justification. They know it is wrong. They know it is illegal. They just don't care. And this is refreshingly honest in comparison to the nonsense posted in this thread.
And there it is. Push aside the mental gymnastics and the layers upon layers of excuses, and you'll find the base reason for theft is the person wants the product but doesn't want to pay for it. ~
Related to the OP's topic, Barefoot Essentials (fork) has added an update to highlight those with brand-new accounts to make it easier to spot. Not claiming this is in direct relation to piracy, but it should help spot those pesky AI bot posts, or maybe it'll help the nice people on the forum welcome newcomers with open arms? It's up to the users how you view it.
