Someone told me it would be stealing from the employees to pirate this game. The same employees that get fired for trying to start a union.

Many (most?) employees get a salary and are done. Only shareholders benefit from the long term health of the company. Most of the shareholders don't put any meaningful work into producing value.

This is one of the core injustices of capitalism. People who don't work profit.
