You mean by stealing. You should just be clear with your language.

I don’t exclusively mean piracy. You can still buy big budget games on disc, and you can buy most games from any other platform, including GOG and Itch which don’t implement DRM. I only care about physical media in the sense that nobody can take it away from you, and DRM-free media achieves the same goal.

Not to mention that piracy isn’t theft because you’re not taking anything away from anyone, you’re making a copy of some files 🤷‍♀️

The notion that piracy is theft is capitalist bullshit designed to manipulate people’s emotions by equating a company not making as much profits as they theoretically could have to theft lol
