    Sure but game companies need to get paid or they won’t make games. Right? Luckily there are many others who pay for games so you can pirate, but without them paying, there wouldn’t be a product you can pirate.

    I just picked a game company as an example but of course you understand this.

      Of course you understand that people made creative things before copyright existed. You understand that that happened when the copyright term was 14 years. You understand that it happened before Warner Bros. Discovery existed.

      You understand that it is possible for a company to make games without requiring a 120 year copyright term, right?

        Yes people make creative things, but they don’t make games that requires a game studio and give them away for free. I feel that you should understand this. Perhaps you don’t.

        I pirated as a kid too because I didn’t have money and I loved games. But I knew that others paid for their games and that’s why they could make them.

        Now as an adult, I’m paying for my games. Because I have the money and it’s worth it. If you don’t, that’s fine too. I dont judge. But just quit the stupid copyright argument. :)
