....that IS an interesting question.
I would argue that yes it is. Though the way to the content is different, the end result is the same; you're receiving something that you should be paying for without having to pay for it.
So technically, no, it's not. But by the spirit of the law...or.....the spirit of against the law?, it is piracy. At the end of the day, the developer is not getting money for something that they should be getting money for, therefore piracy.
Why SHOULD you be paying for what is just a cheat code? Think about it this way, why should I pay for a McDonalds cheeseburger if I can make my own that is just as good.
... That is a terrible analogy ... especially since I'm willing to bet every one reading this CAN make a better burger then Mc Donald's.
OT; I'm a lean toward, 'Yes, it is', cause no matter how you slice it, its something they should be paying to get, that they are getting with out paying for it.
Since when is a cheat code something we
should be paying for?
At one time we paid for a device that gave us unlimited cheat code usage but today every emulator offers a software based cheat device built in. Likewise, a tool to directly modify RAM is free but YOU believe people should be paying for one time use cheat codes.
Really getting sick of having to enter a captcha every post.
Um, yes. For F2P games anyway. Those things don't just stay online on they're own ya know. As for Single player games (nice edit btw) with Micro-transaction. I would return it, or uninstall such a game, and never fucking touch it again if I actually ended up needing to hit the cash shop. So it won't be an issue for me, in any event, it's STILL something you should be paying for, and it's still a pay wall your circumventing to get something free, that isn't free.
Shady as Micro transactions in Single Player games are, Piracy is still Piracy. Be it the game, or the RM Currency the game uses. Though I have to ask why your even playing such a single player game to begin with.
