I feel like I take away something new from it every time I play.

Lemme ask you: do you see it as morally justifiable to pirate the game at this point, assuming people cannot otherwise access it?

I do not see stealing as morally justifiable in any way, shape, or form.  Enjoying something without repaying the creators in some fashion I would consider stealing.

Still, if your only options are "pirate and play" and "never play ever" I wouldn't hold a grudge over pirating.

That being the case, would you find it similarly unjustifiable to buy a copy off of eBay? Extending from that, is it now morally unjustifiable for anyone who doesn't buy a game new to play that game?
