Hell yeah, game devs don't deserve to be paid for their work ๐คก
... Do you think workers in a car factory don't get paid until someone actually buys the car they helped build? All the devs have already been paid!
And how do these companies make the money required to pay the salaries of their employees?? ๐ค
If you carjack someone else, commit actual grand theft auto, does that mean the workers in the car factory that produced the car get their pay retroactively revoked?
That's actual theft, you stole it from the owner, and even then it doesn't affect the factory workers' salary at all.
If I get a copy of Starfield from a friend after they're done playing it, does that count as stealing the devs' salary?
