Classic lemmy logic. Lemme say something ridiculous, but it's "capitalism bad", so everyone will upvote.
You're playing a game, or watching a movie made by labor. Highly qualified and paid labor.
All those involved in the production could easily go and make their own company and do their own movies/games. And they often do. But you keep pirating AAA titles and Hollywood produced movies instead of paying for indie games and watching independent cinema.
That's because deep in your soul you're a capitalist hoe, you're just also a poor joe, but somehow you need to rationalize.
You want the system of capitalist abuse in the media industry to end? Instead of pirating, stop consuming for-profit media, and take your hard earned cash to support independent creators.
Piracy helps that capitalist system. Cuz they'll abuse everyone they can, and those who can't will illegally use the results anyways. And this way no independent market will ever form.
You're not a warrior of freedom, anon. You're a corpo sucker, just a poor one.
