So instead of "Did you pirate this game?", the question should be "Did you pirate this game, responsibly?"

    Sure, that works too.

    I could think of of plenty examples, but a good use for pirating would be Disco Elysium - the publishers stole the IP of the creators unjustly, so it would be cobsidered by many ethical to not purchase the game and instead pirate it and donate a comfortable amount to the actual creators patreons. You are actuallu combating theft, in this instance.

    But of course it would not be responsible to pirate most indie games

    Putting aside the massive ethical and legal implications of blatantly exploiting human culture and works in the name of corporate profits...

    I really hope they aren't expecting us mere mortals to pay for AI generated games and media.

    Because if I end up losing my job to a robot that was trained on my own stolen words, images, code and sounds, paying $70 for some slop is right down at the bottom of the list of things I want to do.
