Alot of those people also likely rebought the old games they tried out this way when they come to virtual shop. If they really liked them. I knew a guy who did this for ff6.

MrToothHasYou 11/27/19 8:26:03 PM #45:	I would say its more akin to trespassing than theft - in essence when you buy a digital copy of a game youre paying for the ability to access the experience of playing the game.
