It is not self-explanatory. You needed to explain it. On its face, it sounds like it's saying to just pirate. I can get behind the message, but these three words aren't it. I know that coming up with effective, catchy slogans is hard, but this one's not going to do well.

At this point I think it's safe to assume all large companies are evil and so piracy of any software/media/etc created by a large company is the moral thing to do.
Buy from GoG
You can buy DRM free games from many places.
If buying is not ownership, piracy is not stealing.
Fuck em.
I'm going to be honest, this sounds like an astroturf campaign trying to reduce SKG into absurdity to harm it's credibility.
Kinda telling that Valve aren't on here. They also only sell a license to play a game, not the game.
Well technically and legally you always buy a license even with a game on physical media.
Any media you buy is a license because you're only buying a copy, not the original.
Watch this by the guy who started Stop Killing Games. Then you can stop parroting the corporate wet dream that we don't own stuff we buy.
Most of those are ones i already hate.
My childhood friend and a common acquaintance work at Supercell. I once asked them what they think about the moral issue of putting paid loot boxes in games for children.
They had never heard of such a controversy and didn't understand why a fun and profitable feature would be somehow wrong.
joke on you im playing retro games!!!!
EDIT: but no seriously playing retro games is a great alternative then playing what's new
Why ESL is bad ? They don't make any games. They just do esports that promote gaming.
Why Sega is bad ? What did Bandai Namco ?
Only one Chinese company but no explicitly Tencent who owns Supercell and have 1/3 Epic Games, 1/3 Ubisoft it is just it's brand name Level Infinite that means nothing.
No Scopely who owns Monopoly Go that alone makes $200M per month on gambling.
Any mobile gambling companies with micro transactions that are in fact casinos should be there instead of companies that just make AAA flops.
They're members of a group which opposes the Stop Killing Games campaign.

Rockstar should be added to this list.
Rockstar Games, Inc. is an American video game publisher based in New York City. The company was established in December 1998 as a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive.
Take-Two is already on the list, and also covers 2K and Zynga.
So really the list should show all the subsidaries. Because there's probably a decent number of people that don't know.
Shouldn't it be #VoteWithYourWallet?
I would like a law that says the publisher/owner/digital store has to remove any server pings and anti-cheat through a standalone update that can be shared and downloaded once they abandon support. This would go for games and any other digital media, alternatively they would have to offer a refund.
Should I feel bad for assuming any company's name that ends in "group" probably do some heinous shit
I love steam, but it needs to be in this image.
Did Steam shut down games people bought?
I agree with the thrust of this, but I have no faith in the resolve of the average consumer to make a difference.
I’m assuming this also applies to Consoles as well: Sony removed purchased movies from people’s Sony Pictures Core app. I wonder if, or when, they’ll decide to do the same to games.
If it does come to that: what are our options as console gamers (other than piracy)? Buying physical discs?
I would never buy a car that I had to store in someone else's garage.
