“saying true things” is not “soapboxing.”
I’ve probably pirated more total gigs than half the people here, but have the intellectual honesty to own what you’re doing.
Sure, a court would charge you with different crimes, but the concept is the concept and a forum post is not court.
I prayed shit all the time when I couldn’t afford it. When I got money, I eventually rebuilt a lot of those games for convenience’s sake. Comics, not so much, but I have thousands upon thousands of them.
I did it because I couldn’t afford it. If you take something that is being sold, without paying for it, how is that concept not stealing?
The boss pays me for my time, I’m never getting that time back so I’ve sold it and they own it, in fact, they even get to keep the work I produced during that time to go with it.
Low effort argument.

SotuandusoIt can happen in artistic fields like acting and game dev.
Fun fact: In game dev, at least, your initial payment to make a game is typically an advance on the share of the profits you’ll get. So terms like “$100k to start and then 10%” function more like “10% to a minimum of $100k” in the long term.

You can be honest about piracy man. It’s ok.
