it is still stealing from another. what will u feel if u created wrote an assignment.. u spent like 3 weeks doing.. and a friend came and plagiarized everything you wrote, and claim it as their own? is that right? It might even cause you to fail the semester if you don't have enough proof to back yourself up? (in the case of developers u are stealing their profit margin.. thus causing more developers to dump PC platform and go for other platforms like iOS where they can earn more!)
it's the same way with downloading pirated games. right now Steam made it affordable for us.. till even other sites like Origin, GOG, HumbleBundle also had to copy the mass discounts in order to stay competitive. Last time we all complain can't afford to buy an Ori game coz it costs hundreds to get just one.. right now one is same price with a pirated copy on the market (CD form). You willing to buy those last time (when internet was heck slow to download) and now u complain? there's no more justification when a product's price fits your earning capability. (if you're a student I will still understand.. hopefully when u grow up.. do support original).
watching a movie in Malaysia is also affordable. RM15.. same price with getting a cetak rompak movie. u get that CD the most also u watch a few times.. would u rather not enjoy the full experience? without the risk of getting a faulty pirated CD with lots of distortions, lack of sound effects etc? It's the same comparing an original game and pirated game. Pirated game easily can contain more bugs (some purposely put in by the devs - they are geniuses else won't be game developers).. and they lack latest patches also (wanna update need download all over again).
So please ... pros outweigh the cons.. there's no concrete reason for you to pirate. Like I said earlier.. if can't afford buy less.. buy those that you feel you 100% will complete. Skip the rest. Those of us who buy a lot end up didn't touch most of our games also... only advantage we have is we get to taste more.
don't be pirate/thief.. sure got balasan one day. Be good when you can. What goes around comes around.
