Generally, if software was affordable and their business model is ethical, I wouldn’t pirate it.

If a company is charging a subscription for something that has no business being a subscription, I’ll pirate it. If a business is stealing data or willingly collaborating with evil people/governments/regimes/etc, I’ll pirate it.

It’s ok. I’m in my 40s and it’s my first dive into a pokemon game. My roommate is angry that a coworker recommended this specific game as my first, but it seems ok.

There’s a story… I guess? It’s not very compelling as it seems the target demographic is much younger. I do like going to new areas, collecting every wisp and pokemon, and evolving them.

I’m late to the party, but I just got into Pokemon Legends Arceus.

As it turns out, having an account on a social media platform full of Nazis, violent racists, and child diddlers is not good for business.
