Lol man I generally agree with the hive mind, but on this particular point I never will. With the singular exception being a complete lack of availability, I will always view pirates as being cheapskates that are totally cool with theft. Try to justify it all you like, in the end you are receiving a product without paying for it. Just admit what you're doing.

Theft is when someone actually loses something. Piracy is copying things

Bingo. Also I was never going to buy Starfield anyway so Bethesda isn't losing anything.

I'm actually more likely to buy it if it's good and I can see myself playing it a lot. The last game I did this with was No Man's Sky on launch and I'm glad I didn't pay for the clusterfuck that originally was. I've since bought the game for full retail price twice.
