> Neither of these seem to be anything of what people are saying.     First of all, one, "piracy helps me try games before I buy" is one, if not the biggest argument for piracy.     Second, the first being true, "I'll pirate the game to spite the developers" is the *second* most common argument for piracy.    > Non-Americans seem to forget other countries often have a difficult time purchasing games.    What the f--    Oh, yeah, totally. I mean, Nintendo literally didn't produce systems in Brazil for half of the Wii U / 3DS lifespan and only just got back in its industry, and obviously the inconvenience of downloading a 80MB app is on the exact same level of legal fuckery as "we do not officially sell our products in your country".    Conversely, I've seen almost no one argue against people who *literally cannot buy a game legally* pirating, much like how no one gives a shit if you download the original *Super Mario Bros. 3*. But games like *The Outer Worlds* and possibly *Borderlands 3* *aren't even out yet.*    Do you *actually* fucking think *any* of the people in the linked thread aren't red-blooded, glued-to-their-seats Americans, let alone Westerners?
