Pirating a ubisoft game is pretty obviously morally wrong.
Not because of the piracy, but because then you're wasting your time playing a ubisoft game.

My SSD complains about feeling disgusting and dirty after i installed a Ubisoft game to it last time.
It won't happen again, it needs some time to recover from that.
And also because you make ubisoft game more popular
Well, Ubisoft, you should be comfortable not owning my money then. Lead by example.
DO WHAT YOU WANT CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE.
YOU. ARE. A. PIRATE

Being a pirate is alright to be

I'm not sure Castro would've classified himself as a pirate, but close enough
It's like I've told a number of my bosses in the past: you have to treat the people making your money for you well, or they just fuck off. They never listen, and everyone always just fucks off. I'm a soothsayer!
im already verry comfortable not owning ubisoft games
If they want my money, they can find me on GOG.
Valid answer
I don't think that's how the meme format works
If you haven't done so yet, please consider supporting the effort against making old games unplayable: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/
Interesting that it's not the steam logo used for that meme...
It wasn't the ceo of steam who said you should get used to not owning games either. https://www.pcgamer.com/ubisoft-director-says-gamers-will-get-more-comfortable-not-owning-games-and-hes-not-wrong/
You don't own games on Steam either.
You can own certain Steam games as much as you can own them on GOG, which is to say it's completely up to the publisher/devs. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam
Don't you dare slander Lord Gaben 😭😭😭
Slander would mean it was misinformation
It was sarcastic I thought the horde of crying emojis made that clear.
But I can play them without Internet (mostly).
Steam isn't perfect. But it's the best we have for now. And the trend currently is only getting worse.
The thing is that Steam doesn't have a history of shutting down a significant fraction of games they have available by themselves. Hence people don't criticize them.
Also you can (not saying that you should, I personally don't trust Gabe) put some tust in a private owned company if you trust the owners.
In case of public companies they are forced by law and major shareholders into making shortsighted decisions and prioritizing profit only.
Yeah - but the situation there is literally the same as with all the other launchers besides GOG
For some reason steam just has a huge fanclub that doesn't accept any kind of criticism
The reason for that fanclub is that publishing a game on Steam does NOT require you to use any DRM at all. That's a choice every publisher makes for themselves.
Furthermore, the Steam DRM itself is weak af (as in "circumvention has been automated") and as non-invasive as it gets (a simple licence check). All of this is in line with their public stance ("Piracy is a service problem").
I pirate more shit than i could ever play, but still buy games on Steam (But only the stuff i really want to keep playing like Baldurs Gate 3, or small indie titles that are just gems (i have to namedrop ΔV: Rings of Saturn and Star Valor here, because i come back to them ALL the time)
"You should be comfortable". Is that a common phrase of these people?
No. It's spelled comfortable
