He is wrong.

I save lots of money by downloading for free rather than using Steam. And piracy is about theft, not service.

So your saying, you aren't willing to pay ANYTHING for ANY PC game you could pirate.  Even if it was just say, 2 dollars?  IE:  You don't legally own a single PC game?

Cause, if you aren't saying that, you must not have read what he's said before.

You've also probbably never played a game like TF2, where the pirated version is unbelievably inferior to the normal version.

I own a couple of dozen PC games but most are from the pre-broadband era or games I needed the CD key for online play. A few PC games I bought just because I wanted to have a hard copy (I like boxed copies) or I wanted to support the developer.

But digital download like Steam, if none of the above conditions are met I'd rather save those 2 Dollars.

In that case there is a specific phrase for that.
