You missed the context. I am not telling you to go sail the high seas on the most modern video games released. If you wanna play a video game which is no longer available and there is no way for you to legally play it. If you cannot buy it the Devs aren't getting paid for the product and if you pirate it still the devs aren't getting paid. Either way its lose lose. PS, I know this is a weak argument but do you really think you buying a video game legally, directly fills the devs pocket or just the top management getting salary bonuses every year with the profit ?
