Whatever happened to the mindset and saying “if you can’t afford it, you don’t get it” ?

I’m talking about piracy here and everyone is talking about credit cards. WHY?

[Anonymous]

Credit happened. People have become accustomed to instant gratification. I believe this has also caused prices of some things to skyrocket. A lot of people don't care what something costs as long as they can pay over time.

[MusicTokuXX]

I mean people rather pirate games and movies without paying for it.

[Opinion Owner]

They get away with it

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

If buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing. This applies to a lot of digital purchases

[MusicTokuXX]

YOU OWN YOUR GAMES!! GOD THAT PISSES ME OF WHEN PEOPLE SAY THAT!!

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

For older games, yes. For newer games you own a license for them

[jamesgoldman]

No idea

I refuse anything spurious and only use very limited credit occasionally and was either making or saving money on the deal

[Chazmatazz269]

Entitlement became a core value of western civilization.

[exitseven]

people want to live beyond their means and it is easy to get credit cards

[DryGermanGuy]

Very much the German attitude.

[WonderingManII]

I still live by that.
