I'm convinced the only people who would earnestly try to shame you over piracy are literal NPCs and we've seen how employees etc. of these companies really are infiltrating comments pages trying to stir the pot.
My radical take on this is, okay, you want me to pay for the content? Fine, but I'm taking my fucking copy as is without any of your shitty DRM latched onto it like a fucking headcrab and I'm going to enjoy it offline whenever I want. I mean, a great example is just recently when we were talking on this site about Mortal Kombat and how they're erasing certain versions from the internet and trying to make you buy the more modern shitty version. They're making fans of the game who already legally own a copy of an older game pay for essentially the same game twice.
Total War Warhammer did this with me when it came to 1 and 2 and CA were being so fucking cheeky in my view trying to make me to pay for 3 just to access immortal empires. Meanwhile the new customers who came along buying Warhammer 3 for the first time buy it and they can play the entire campaign for fucking free and to me as a long time customer that's just outrageous. There's a growing number of these such cases where media companies are all just acting like straight up rip off merchants. Again, bear in mind I'm somebody who actually enjoyed playing Total War games in the past and supported them, fucking fat chance of that now especially with them going woke on top of it.
Oy vey being able to use the thing you pay for is literal theft! you need to be dependent!
During the disastrous Warcraft III Reforged fiasco, the Battle.net launcher downloaded the remake version over top of the classic version of the game on people's computers, erasing it forever. You couldn't download the old version anymore, you had to manually reinstall it with the CDs (hope you still have them!).
I'm not asking people to feel ashamed about piracy, I am asking people to stop fucking talking about it, making it more visible, and ruining it for the rest of us when they clamp down harder on it. Too many people are treating it like a badge of honor they need to tell the whole world about, bringing more unwanted attention to it in the process.
