If you ride a bus without a ticket, other passengers will have to pay more because upkeep and salaries are more or less a fixed cost. That is if you can afford the ticket, it's irrelevant otherwise. Also depends on profit margins but I think it explains the point.

In case anyone actually wants to know a couple of reasons

A) It's not fair that some people pay and some don't. (Of course it's also not fair that some can afford $70 on a video game and some struggle to buy food)

B) If everyone would pay then we'd all only have to pay $50 each, lowering the price for those that are paying $70 at the moment. (Whether developers would lower prices or just make more money is another question)
