On one hand, I don't think piracy is objectively right or wrong. It can be wrong if you pirate everything you own and do nothing to support the creators. It can be totally okay if you pirate to play something to see if you like it, then go back and pay for a copy later, to support the creator somehow. I do the second one a lot. Sometimes I like the games after trying them so much I buy extra copies for friends. But, I would never have bought that game that had no demo for the sticker price, without having tried it first. Or, if someone is pirating something that isn't available in their region, they're not harming anyone.

On the other hand, actions have consequences. I don't have any sympathy for people who pirate and don't support the creators, then turn around and complain that, for example, the gaming industry is going fully toward "live services" and microtransactions instead of the old standard of paid and DRM-free. If you're going to pirate, then you're going to have to deal with the industry-wide backlash toward your behavior. Suck it up, this is what happens. I have no tears for them.
