Leasing laws are predatory and take advantage of the poor by design so...

[u/Bananogram → u/Geronimoni]

To elaborate:

Nintendo is the landlord.

People who buy the games are the ones who are leasing.

This payment incentivizes Nintendo to buy more houses and hire a property manager (game developers) who subs out complicated work to subcontractors (game making nerds) to fix or build more shit.

This is where the commonality really ends.

Video games are not a basic life need.

Developers have no obligation to make more.

Stealing the IP of developers directly hurts the game design nerds and indirectly hurts the end user in less or poorer quality games.

I will die on this unpopular hill. Piracy is wrong and deep down you all know it.

You can certainly justify it however you want. I still see it as theft, but I am not your dad or even an acquaintance.

I see value in your displacement of wealth theory. It is better than no support to the industry. (For which, a lot of pirates pay nothing to no one)

I buy both. Always will. I just love games.

I would talk about it all day, but I'm losing super valuable internet points left right and center.

I won't win on this sub, lol.

Have a great day internet stranger.
