Unless we speak about the pirates that go into a store and take something its never stealing. You don't take away someones property, you just copy it. Wich can't be stealing by default.
Yes in a way, but sometimes it really is unfair. Take gog drm-free games for example. They offer you real ownership of the games, so why not pay?
Because i don't want to pay for EA games bit still want to play Comand and Conquer.
Because i don't want to pay several hundreds for DLCs...
Because i can?
I'm talking about fair games. Typically indie ones. I doubt EA has any DRM free game anyway
When i like a indie game, im buying it on Steam or their own website with a steam key. But for big publishers and studios im not doing that at all.
Also i see it as a free permanent demo version for such games, if i like it, i buy it. If not, im not playing it anymore after i judged it fairly.
I bought Terraria and Half Life series, beside that pirate all and left no survivors
