Think of who you're hurting before you consider piracy.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Devil's advocate: is the time spent playing a pirated retro game still a kind of lost revenue, since you could be spending your time buying and playing all their new shit? I say this as a long-time retro gamer who finally broke down and bought some new shit recently.
Make a better product then.
Yep, hey EA, want me to spend time buying and playing your new games instead of yet another playthrough of Burnout 3? Make a game better lmao I WILL buy it
Going to work is lost revenue.
Yeah, game companies should be lobbying for UBI for everyone
In a sense I guess? But then it’s still their fault for not keeping it available for purchase.
Or they pull a Nintendo "Heres a game we made 20 years ago. That will be $50"
Well at least that was three games. If you’re talking about the Mario collection and I’m not forgetting some other dumb thing they did.
Yes, just as much as when someone dares to enjoy a different hobby.
We are just statistics to them.
I'd say no, because they don't own your time by default.
