Is the implication that PC gamers pirate their games?

Feeling superior over you game choices is not the flex you think it is. 

The same argument can be made with old Nintendo games etc that can no longer be purchased unless you pay ridiculous amounts to buy from someone's collection. You got something against those games as well?

Justifying piracy because you're broke by citing that the game may delist in a decade or so is not really a flex either since you use that to justify pirating games where you do have full access anyways such as most indies.

Tbh people should just admit they're greedy rather than act like piracy is a noble cause.

You asked me what delisted games I play, and I gave you a straight up answer. Then you deflect with some superiority bs. 

People pirate for different reasons. Automatically thinking piracy means you're broke is just naive. I can just as easily say you only buy indie games because you can't afford AAA games.

Go be angry somewhere else.
