Okay, but if I send you an unsolicited dick pick, who owns the rights?

Why does Steam does the same thing but nobody cares? Steam also takes 30% of the price just because. Ubisoft has 100x more employees but always gets hate.

Stream is the one now forced to label change if you've missed recent events

Ubisoft execs are correct, gamers need to get used to not owning Ubisoft games (or purchasing them, heck they're not worth the storage space to pirate.)

Old-fashioned high seas pirating may have been stealing, but the modern copyright infringement form has never been stealing.

A key aspect of stealing is that you're depriving the owner of some kind of property. While you have that property, they don't, and they can't use it. Copyright infringement doesn't deprive the owner of anything. The only thing they lose is the government-granted monopoly over the right to distribute that "idea". If copyright infringement is like an old fashioned crime, it's like trespassing. The government granted someone the right to control who has access to some land, and a trespasser violates that law.

lol as if ubisoft games are worth pirating. I pay for my internet connection and I'd rather use it on something that isn't slop

I have 2TB of music and 7TB of videos but I rarely pirate a game.

Almost never, sometimes I'm extremely interested in something but want to try it out first. Games are such time sinks that if I can't shell out $20, then I have bigger problems and probably shouldn't be playing it.

That said, I get a lot of content isn't available in some countries and piracy is the only way some people can experience something, so, different strokes.
