Question about no piracy rule:

[Rigel]

If I steal a game from a game store and use the key and it works, does it count as piracy?

I'm not saying that I have, and I'm not saying that I won't, but I'm just curious.

[Cappytaino]

Technically, yes. It's like keygenning.

[Private McDoggy]

That is just stealing

[Rigel]

That is just stealing

And last I checked, it's fine to talk about that as long as it's not of the internet piracy sort.

Piracy
 - the practice of attacking and robbing ships at sea
 - a practice similar to piracy but in other contexts, especially hijacking
 - the unauthorized use or reproduction of another's work

You are using the key without authorization (through purchase), so yes

It also makes you an starfish

[Epicduke]

yes it would count and it would also make you a scumbag

...You must be kidding. You cant be this stupid/pathetic.

why do people treat stealing as if it's something normal and something everyone casually does in their daily lives

rigel is doing the thing again

You people forget that rigel literally enjoys stealing other peoples stuff just because it "feels right" and he embraces it. His attitude towards stealing is cancerous at best.

I thought keys don't activate until purchased

I thought keys don't activate until purchased

I thought this was the case, as well.

I'm fairly sure it is the case for gift card kinda things, but not too sure about video game codes. Hm.
