People usually dismiss game piracy as being an inherently bad thing. What are your thoughts on the morality of piracy and its impact on the industry, and how that may vary between different games and developers.

I mostly support it. If developer aren’t willing to preserve their older libraries, especially when it comes to digital games, than we will. The only problem that I have with piracy is the fact that it’s almost always possible to pirate games that just came out. It’s one thing to preserve a games that either came out 40 years ago or are no longer purchasable, but it’s very problematic when I see games that you can pirate the day they were released. I understand that the people who pirate new games and the people who actually buy new games are of a different demographic but it still seems wrong.
