It’s not always against the wishes of the creators. It’s certainly against the wishes of whoever is making money out of it, and fair enough this is sometimes the creator but more often than not we are talking about a middleman, such as a publisher or big entertainment company.
When I see piracy is depriving the creator of revenue directly, it always feels bad to me.
When I see the creatives have been paid already, or have several income streams (and big ones at that too) and the only ones deprived of profit are the middleman companies… Well…
Yeah, “the wishes of the creator” don’t matter. They don’t get to dictate how people use an idea they’ve shared, no matter how elaborate. If they want to keep it private, then don’t share it.
I love Warren Ellis’s run of Moon Knight. The art, the writing, the themes, it’s so good. It was only after I recommended it on MULTIVERSE that I was informed Warren Ellis is an asshole. He cheated on dozens of women at the same time, giving them career favours in exchange for sex. It was a sexually exploitative relationship that the women were not made aware of in advance.
Yes, everyone agrees that Ellis’s run from 2014 is the best Moon Knight made in the last 45 years. You can find it in the From The Dead book, which you shouldn’t pay for because Ellis is a creepo.
I just assume all creators of things I enjoy will eventually be proven to be sex pests. It makes it much easier to justify piracy morally to myself. (/j)
My favorite is people who use “archival purposes” as an argument for having a dump of some shit like SMB + Duck Hunt cart for NES. That shit isn’t going anywhere man, you just want to play it for free and that’s ok.
The mental gymnastics people need to do to feel better about getting something for free against the wishes of the creator is so wild.
Just own it.

All of this is overthinking to try and justify it to yourself.
Seems like you are doing a lot of overthinking to argue against piracy on the piracy community
When did I argue against piracy? My 28TB array of shows and movies begs to differ.
youre a fed prove me wrong
You okay, lil bro?

No shit
Surely, as in most modern games, the creators exact wishes is that nobody will be able to play it in a few years …
Weird take
Stupidest comment of the week
Another great point by one of the greatest minds of our generation
What else should I say when you use “weird” as a counterargument? That’s not rational, replying with a rational point doesn’t make sense.
You didn’t make a coherent argument in the first place… What am I supposed to counter, exactly?
Dude log off already, others are having zero trouble getting what I meant
Whatever you need to tell yourself, lil bro

Good thing I didn’t pay for it!
I’ve always meant to read some Moon Knight, is that a good place to start?
