If the team that made a game gets immediately laid off it's perfectly legal to pirate it
Look I don't make game law but I do fancy myself something of an expert on this so you can definitely steal the pirate game whose devs got laid off and they didn't even let em have a real launch party its legal

@glassbottommeg@mastodon.gamedev.place if when you buy a game, you don't own a copy forever, it's perfectly legal to pirate it. I really hope the PS6 falls flat on its face, not because they made piracy impossible, but because they made ownership of purchases revocable.
