Well, I don't think it's ok to steal the game, just to make that clear. But the guy is just earning more money than he can spend anyway so I don't see the point in bitching about pirates. Ain't nothing he can do against it anyway. It's like Microsoft would be whining about stolen Windows copies. They don't do that, because there's just zero sense in it.
I would understand a dev that is close to bankruptcy complaining about stuff like that, even though in such a case, it wouldn't help either. But this right here us just a rich guy complaining about not getting even more money. It's just greed, nothing more. There's no higher moral battle which this guy is fighting. He just can't get enough, that's all. You don't see Toby Fox complaining about pirated games of Undertale and you know why? Because the game sells good enough. |
You are comparing a multi BILLION dollar company listed on the stock exchange with many other products to one guy who poured millions of his own money into a game for 7 years. Flawed argument right there, sorry.

But its a flawed argument anyway, even a Billion dollar company has the right to earn money from anything they create. The size or profitibility of a company should not exclude them from making money from products they create that people want. Ultimately if a billion dollar company does badly because everyone stole their games, the people at the bottom doing the crap jobs would be out of work first...
