From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

The only argument for piracy being bad is that it is stealing because they lost a sale they would have otherwise gotten. You already bought the game. Therefore, there is no lost sale. There's not a single moral argument against it now.
That being said, your ISP can't tell the difference, so make sure you use a VPN (especially if torrenting)
And that argument is BS anyway, because there's no such thing as "potential profit" even though companies say there is.
When I pirated the most games I had no money. If I didn't pirate it, I'd go play on the street or whatever lol. Not going to buy what you literally can't.
Same goes for denuvo and the "always online" for single player games crap. I'm not buying any games using those on principle.
I don't disagree, I only brought it up because it's the only argument that holds any merit (even if little) and is made irrelevant in this case.

People say use a vpn, but it seems to me like most vpns don't allow torrenting.
As far as I know ow most paid VPNs allow it, a lot of free ones don't. I can say from experience that Windscribe allows torrenting, although there is a 10gb limit per month on free accounts (there is a way to get around that tho)
