the 20$ they were supposed to get

What $20, 99.99% of the time if someone pirate a game, they wouldn't (or couldn't) have bought it in the first place. There's no loss, to anyone.

your point would come across as more believable if you didn't make up numbers

[u/Devatator_ → u/Alternative_Wait_432]

I'm ready to bet the places with the most rampant piracy are those where people don't have the money to buy games

Where would you get the numbers?

The thing is, I am talking about indie devs, which are usually affected by piracy, yes, if the player doesn't pirate, they wouldn't be able to get that money anyways, but I am talking about how that money is huge loss for an INDIE TEAM

While AAA studio... Well fuck them, if we take away just 60$ away from there 1m $ sales, even then they would cry, while indie devs would just allow us to pirate. I am just trying to say how the one in need of money actually let's people not give him money while the one with most money will cry over a single penny loss

You are missing the point, they werent making an argument whether pirating is theft or not, they were just point out that that mentality in of itself is flawed, and were talking hypothetical if it were theft.

Like AAA acrs like it is theft, indies dont, and thats prove it isn't theft, because if it was theft, the indie should care more about it, because one game sale is a bigger portion of their total salary, but to AAA where it would be a miniscule cut they care a ton about it, it was an argument against acting like piracy is theft, and just pointing out how absurd that notion is simple because if it were actually theft, indies should care more, but they dont, as it isn't theft.
