If you derive value from something without paying for it you are stealing. There is no way about it. However, who hasn't borowed a game from a friend? I guess that is stealing too. The problem is, some people "buy" bootlegged copies. That is horrible. Also, some people download all of their games...that is unacceptable. I buy almost all 95% of what I play...and I hope you do too. I will NEVER buy a mod chip. Never.
I care to much about people who makes game and hope they will make more games like the one's I like.
