People who partake in video game piracy are disingenuous in how much they care about consumers not owning their games

I've been a massive video game pirate for a long time, and a big reason i see SOO many people say OVER AND OVER about game piracy is how companies are not physically allowing us to own our games anymore (for anyone unaware most game companies nowadays give you access to online purchase keys that are basically letting you borrow the licence to play the game and if they choose to take the game down later on you lose access to the game you paid for) and so many people who gloat about this being a reason for piracy. Now this is not my issue, my main thing is that I think most people pirating saying this do not actually care about not owning their games, as big of a reason as they make it out to be. What I mean by this is that while I dislike this yes, nobody I have ever seen has gotten into piracy solely because they wanted to own their games, it's always because they can't afford to pay for them. Which is completely fine, but this is not the main reason you or most people are pirating games, it's just a tacked on benefit. 99% of the people I see who support piracy for this reason but still have the money to pay for games STILL choose to continue paying for them. It seems to me this line is just used by pirates to justify piracy for themselves or others without actually caring about it themselves personally, to seem like they're pirating as apart of some big movement. If you pirate because you want free games, then pirate because you want free games.
