That's why they don't call it stealing but copyright infringement or EULA violation.
That's enemy talk.
They steal our freedom to buy the product.
How is it an EULA violation if I never agreed to it when I didn't purchase it?
Then it's copyright infringement or anti-circumvention. It's all just bundled up in the tent of piracy to preserve rent extraction.
Not you, but the person making the game available through unofficial channels.
Also isn't it part of the user license that you're only allowed to play if you agree to the EULA?
For a EULA to be "valid", and oh boy am I using valid very loosely, it needs to be agreed before purchase and stipulates that its valid if you purchase the "product". As I did not purchase it, how is the EULA valid to me?
