OK, then what is your argument? You claimed that video games were unneeded because unlike other essentials they are not necessary, but if you're now claiming that humans live themselves because they want to, and not because they need to, then your own argument from beforehand makes no sense.

My argument that there's no justification for stealing games as people don't need them and can easily live without them doesn't make sense?

Compared to your "if video games aren't needed, why does it matter if people pirate them to the point that the companies cease to exist? As video games are not needed anyway it won't matter if more games aren't made." argument? Well it matters to those that want them. Just as going around killing a few humans as extra human lives aren't needed anyway would matter to those that wanted to live.

Well, let's put it this way then, since I was purposefully giving an extreme example:

 

1. Piracy exists

2. Video games continue to be made

 

So, what's the deal? People that can't afford games are able to enjoy them and people that buy games and want to continue to have new games to buy do so.
