Consumer goods are consumer goods, there's no line drawn between "necessities" and "luxuries" most of the time - that is, if you've read your Marx.

So you're saying Marx would pirate a game if he wanted one and couldn't afford it?

I don't think Marx would have given a shit to be honest with you.

But no, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that people will buy what people will buy, regardless of whether or not they need it. There is no "need" in consumer buying patterns, rather.

Yeah, but I only bring up the necessity part because you can argue the I steal bread to feed my family that is about to starve to death but it's a little harder to argue I steal a game because I'm bored.
