Considering piracy equivalent to hardware theft is just intellectually dishonest. In a lot of ways, but relevant to this discussion is that piracy is way less risky, so more people do it. If you try to steal a PS5 from a store I’d go as far to say you’d probably get caught and jailed. With piracy you almost definitely won’t get caught.
I can steal a PlayStation 5 too if theft is part of the discussion. Games too.

What are you talking about?
You said no one pays for Windows. Windows cost $99. Ergo…
Plenty of key resellers sell licences for like 10 bucks
Ok. I’ve never paid for it like that so thumbs up I guess.
Who’s Ergo? Is that the person telling you what to type?

Well I google words I don’t know when I come across them.
Those are grey market keys. It’ll work, but you’re paying someone for a key that’s not legal for you to use.
What grey market keys? Windows came with the computer and ten was free.
Let it go. You’re coming back to a discussion a day later. Did you think about it in the shower or something? Lol
Typically with PC Gaming people are custom building. If you get it through the OEM, then you’re good.
