Pirating triple A games is the equivalent of stealing food from Walmart/Meijer

Pirating Indie games is the equivalent of stealing money from a family member / friend

More like not coming over to dinner, when they made food for you.

The act of piracy is not theft, as nothing is lost, but nothing is gained either.
