Just curious. Is piracy your strategy to kill the big companies, since you really want to consume their products but don’t want to pay, because of your stated reasons?

For the sake of discussion, is it not possible for you to not buy products from big companies but also not consume their products?

Using myself as an example, I hate EA so much I don’t install any of their products on my machine. Or I hate Adobe so I don’t use it at home (the workplace is uncontrollable). I don’t pirate their products as there are alternatives, and I cannot imagine how I may enjoy them since I cannot forget who made them.

Well, their artists did make additional assets though, even if they may be recoloured versions.

Don’t forget how many years it went live and the absurd number of expansion packs.

You could get GamePass and play Expedition 33 at a cheaper price.

Also, three examples you quoted are both first person based, while BG3 is not.
