Not really an advocate for piracy but I wouldn’t have any qualms about recommending that route to you.

At worst this doesn’t convert anyone. Then you can count up from there. And it also vocalizes support, which might come across as pandering but that’s about it.
I’m don’t to see how this article is bad for anyone. At most, mildly annoying because “we knew that already”.
I wonder if it’s as simple as just slowing down the input reading to a human reaction time level. At least my screen seems to take 15 000 inputs at the same time when wet.
If your problem is with getting beaten in the streets you could just wait for it to arrive on the streaming platforms. That’s anyway when the good quality torrents come out. And if for some reason the movies aren’t released in your region, you could always access them through VPN or there are also other solutions.
I don’t really buy the demo effect in this day and age when there’s let’s plays of every game and they’re more accessable than torrenting a game. I’ll admit that some percentage will buy games/movies/media after torrenting so there can be a slight positive effect when it comes to sales. But at the end of the day, people just want to consume everything for free.
I’m not arguing for lost profits, I don’t really care except for the writers and other creatives should get paid. But pirates should just admit that they want shit for free, this holier-than-thou act is annoying and crumbles at the first step. Before arguing for the ethicality maybe come up with a solution or at least disapprove the new media piracy. Because that’s a huge, huge side-effect. More like the effect and media preservation is tacked on positive side effect.
Except piracy peaks at the recent releases. That isn’t about media preservation, it’s about seeing the new shit for free.
For some hard to impossible find stuff it can be useful but that’s not what it’s mostly used for.
That game seems pretty loved, I wouldn’t be that surprised about a remaster. Though it would have to be a pretty barebones if it can’t compete with a ten year old release.
