Is the implication that PC gamers pirate their games?

That's what VPN's are for.

True, but here's the thing, we shouldn't have to use something like that.

Well, you don't technically. I was just giving you an option for an added layer of protection since you seemed sorta scared of the idea. But you can download whatever you want and not get caught. VPN'S are really only needed if you're torrenting or if your region has certain sites blocked.

But in the end, it's all your decision. Pay for games or get them free.

You are right. I apologise, my meaning was, no country or gaming studio should be so tyrannical that VPNs need to exist or when we buy a game, we actually own it, for the price we pay, considering the lack of physical as well. I know variables, laws, licensing.... blah blah blah. But still.
