listen i'm not trying to judge, but i do have to put a foot in when a person tries to justify stealing games
To steal a material possesion needs to be removed from it's 'rightful' owner. Piracy is not theft, and it isn't dealt with as theft in the courts.
You steal a game (shoplift it), and the shopkeeper is deprived of the game. Copy a game and that same game is still sat on the shelf.
No matter how much you want to "support the developers", claiming piracy is theft is not the way to go about it.

As for the discussion regarding preowned - secondhand games are no-better than pirate copies (except the black economy isn't being funded), which is why most publishers are against them.
