I normally don't advocate for piracy if you can afford games, but if company doesn't even allow you to buy them, then what other option is there? It's like they want people to pirate their games.

If it's not on a shelf, then they don't care about making money off it. Therefore they have nothing to complain about if you use it without paying.

I normally advocate for piracy. In cases like these, where some corpo comes in and STEALS from their customers (because let's stop pretending this is anything else) I advocate for the other type of piracy, with sabers, cannons, rape, theft, pillaging and making some of these assholes walk a plank.
