Calwings 10/10/21 4:54:33 PM #9:	discodancer77 posted... its only really acceptable for games that are old/ out of print This. If there's a realistic, affordable way to buy and play a game legally, then pirating it is wrong in that case and Kotaku are wrong for publicizing this so much. But old, hard to find, out of print games are fine to pirate IMO. It's not a "lost purchase" if the only ways to purchase it are unnecessarily expensive second-hand options that don't even support the publisher/developer. I'd also argue that pirating a game that was never released in your region at all is also acceptable, because it's not a "lost purchase" if you're never given the opportunity to make that purchase to begin with. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u <cite>Calwings posted [p:958900491] in Kotaku sup...
