I haven't started any wars on a neighboring ex-soviet country, so I guess I'm doing ok.

I mean... you kinda asked for it... you basically jinxed it so it'd be a bitch.

Women just don't understand that this is literally a matter of life or death. Like, look at Putin right now. He stopped wanking for a minute, and literally started a fucking war!

Let's suppose the doxx is accurate. What exactly do people expect to happen? Who exactly is gonna go to the home of the soldiers to harass them, when they're on the field anyway? You're gonna threaten to get them fired if they don't stop the war? Good luck with that when their job IS the war. This literally accomplishes jack shit.
I love how a war on the other side of the planet exposes even more of these people's stupidity.

Yup. I'm not bothered that someone pirates, I won't attack anyone for doing so, but I expect people to be smart enough to not advertise their illegal actions, cause I don't want them getting into trouble over this, and I'd prefer to have plausible deniability.
>Do you agree a people with no money can pirate games morally?
I can sympathize with someone in such a situation, but yeah it's still immoral. Even when it comes to stuff we actually need, like food, water & basic medicine, it can be hard to justify poor people stealing those to survive. For something like video games I can't really see an argument. You could say that it's a means to be able to participate in current pop culture, but that's not exactly a basic human right or something you need to survive.
>would you agree if someone set a limit? Play game for 2 hours with intent to buy the game
I could agree that the act is no longer immoral once you bought the game, and I understand people justifying their action by considering the piracy as a extended trial run or demo, but, to make an analogy, until you actually buy it, it's really nothing more than a promise that you're only borrowing the car and you're not actually stealing it.
>but I just cannot say, that an action that generates "prosperity" out of thin air is something I'm ready to condemn.
Condemn is a strong word, and it's definitely not the message I want to send. I think I view the situation similar to people telling white lies. I can understand people are doing it with the best of intentions, and I'm not gonna badger anyone for doing it, but it's probably still better if you don't do it.
As for generating prosperity out of thin air... well... it's not out of thin air. People do work a lot for these products. And yeah, making a copy is not the same as stealing something, nobody looses a game because you pirated it, but there's still that moral obligation that you pay for your entertainment if that's the expectation of the people creating it.
@LukeAlmighty
I don't. I have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy myself, but I still think piracy is immoral. It's not the worst thing you could do, not by a long shot. But it's still immoral, even if you pirate from EA.
Only time I view it as a moral grey area, is when you pirate games that are basically unavailable otherwise. Like old console games that you can no longer buy because the developer or publisher refuses to make them available (like Nintendo stuff), or when it was an online game that had it's servers shut down.
