There is one point for the other side of the argument that I want to bring up. I've been thinking of an answer if it ever came up. "How is buying used games better than pirating?" If this ever came up I would have responded with something like " you have the justification of knowing you earned the game rather than taking it", but then I realized that pirates don't have those type of morals. They don't seem to care how they get the game, but rather what is the easiest(not always true, because pirating can get hard), and / or cheapest way to get it. Now I'm feeling blank with an answer. In both you are not supporting the developer. One just is free, or cheaper while the other isn't. One is also illegal, while the other isn't, but in terms of game piracy there isn't much law enforcement in place with the exception of the people who are dumb enough to sell modded consoles and games.
