I mean there’s a time and a place.

What if someone has gamepass or a ton of free games on EGS?

Just fyi:

• performant == effective
• performative == related to artistic/dramatic performance

Lot of armchair philosophists disagreeing with you, but you’re right.

Sure, some people make art for art’s sake. But it doesn’t put food on the table. Like it or not, most popular media is created at least in part as a source of income for the creator.

It’s fine to pirate things if you actually can’t/wouldn’t otherwise engage with the media. But at least be honest with yourself and recognize that you’re stealing income from the creator.
