I find this sentiment very common and kind of annoying. why is your respect for someone's property rights over the thing they make determined by how fast they can make it.
Look I'll give you three options.
1. Decide artists have no right to restrict their art to only those willing to pay them money for it. It's immoral to assert ownership over so called 'Intellectual Property'
2. Decide An artist does have the right to control the distribution of his art as he likes and gets to choose who gets it and who can't have it.
3. Decide like option #2, but additionally you personally are sufficiently selish to still just steal from people who don't deserve it. underrated social benefits to this one, you can be friends with devs and root for them and just pirate their stuff regardless. Yes please support them on patreon, they deserve it. I don't support them, but others should!
There, three ways to play it, so people can know firmly where they stand and we'll be less generally incoherent when talking about this.
oh and obviously if you choose #2 you do have to leave the site forever. I mean duh.
