If buying isnr owning piracy isn't stealing
Minecraft being the best sold game while also extremely easy to pirate, lacking any real form of DRM apart from the official launcher simply not launching it into a non-"demo mode" session if you don't have a login is a testament to how piracy isn't always a danger.
Sure, Minecraft is really enhanced with multiplayer which is harder to do on a pirated copy, but there's nothing really unethical about that.
How would one go about getting pocket edition? :3
Good question. Tried an APK? I assume they have DRM, now thinking. Java doesn't.
Haven't tried one, might just get minetest tho :3
