It doesn't matter that he had money later on to purchase games. People who look down upon pirates don't care about the circumstances of pirates. Thus, it's hypocritical for Ikki to look down upon piracy (which can safely be assumed that he does, from his original post), when many pirates may and most likely do share the same circumstances.
So I'm assuming you think if someone pirated a game and then bought it later is as bad as someone who just pirate?
Yes. If everybody on earth pirated games, and then purchased those 2 years later, the company who made the game in the first place would be bankrupt.
Additionally, if you bought the game later, you're paying less (due to the inevitable price decrease), which means you're paying less to the developers, even though you were enjoying their product when the price was higher.
Who says two years later, who say buy the cheaper one? This situation could be at a week time. If a new game drop in a week, that the game fault.
It could be an hour later, day later, week later, year later. It doesn't matter.
A better point would be that if you paid money for a flashcard, you're funding the flashcard team. Who, in turn, develop future flashcards, which will inevitably take more money from developers.
Or, if you downloaded a game, you're encouraging hacking teams to upload future games.
You can split hairs all you like, but ultimately, if you've ever pirated, and you criticize piraters, you're a hypocrite.
