Aggrandize deez nuts bro. And being a hero of digital media preservation is only one of the myriad of reasons to pirate, such as
Not accidentally signing away your rights to sue Disney due to forced arbitration when you avail a free trial of Disney+
No drm
Puts economic and financial pressure on the studio to keep games cheap
Just because they don’t give a shit about media preservation doesn’t mean they’re not helping towards media preservation by pirating. Just by downloading a torrent you share upload bits of it while you download, even if you stop and delete it after you watch it. And i’d argue, the more people have media, the less likely it will fade away in 100 years.
Also, eat your hat, my friend
