Ye it's wild. They also say they only pirate X or Y or do it because of Z. Like are you a pirate or not bro? You're either in or not. I pirate everything I possibly can. That goes for small indie companies up to the AAA guys, small film companies to box office. ALL OF IT. I always got downvoted for saying it too on a PIRACY sub! Shits wild.
Edit: Even on lemmy my point gets proven 🤣
I've been pirating software since 1985. Piracy was never about just stealing shit for the fuck of it, I mean you can do that if you want, but the point was that human culture and expression shouldn't be something that is afforded only certain demographics and those who have money.
You may feel like those ideals are completely irrelevant to you, but that's the type of hacker mentality that the people who actually crack software and share it online for people like you often hold.
Hate to break it to you but the people that crack software/games don't do it to share. They do it for the fame and to be the 1st. It's a race for scene groups. Nothing more. They don't care about us.
