I grew up at a time when gaming was considered a trashy habbit and even tho gaming has grown into a big fat industry I still think of it that way. Back in the days we used to pirate everything b/c it was impossible to buy games with our pocket money. We were happy that our parents would finally allow us a new computer. So pirating became quite a habbit and we never had a bad conscience b/c gaming was trashy and everyone did it.
I think I'm a generous person. I don't hog money. In fact I don't like money at all. I'm looking forward to a full-scale sharing community where people just quit the ways of money and materialism and live together as a human family. I know this is a possibility for the future but we're not quite there yet.
By now I believe the gaming industry has grown way too big for its own good. Were talking of revenues around $90 billion this year. I know they're also investing a lot of money into games, but most of these games I don't even consider worth pirating. I know I had to support the games I'm actually playing, but then there is a reason why I rather give that money to a friend in need.
You might ask, how will they live if everyone chooses not to support them? Frankly idc how these manchilds get along. I know there is enough addicts out there who will gladly pump money into them. Every year they're whining about the pirates and still they are growing fatter and fatter. And even if the industry takes some losses. Do you really believe that they will stop making games? Maybe they will start to make better games that are not as big, but, for that reason, suck less.
If you look at the huge success of games with small budget that don't rely on a theatrical setup and lots of cutscenes, but rather allow players to create their own experience, that should give you a hint.
