Theft is when someone actually loses something. Piracy is copying things
Bingo. Also I was never going to buy Starfield anyway so Bethesda isn't losing anything.
I'm actually more likely to buy it if it's good and I can see myself playing it a lot. The last game I did this with was No Man's Sky on launch and I'm glad I didn't pay for the clusterfuck that originally was. I've since bought the game for full retail price twice.
