Theft implies ownership. Even if you buy the game, the company or library host you bought it from doesn’t consider it yours. So why would pirating a game be ownership, or “theft,” either? Companies say what’s in their best interest, money. Ownership, especially of digital media, is a social construct. Writing a file onto your disk is not stealing, as it implies limited supply. No product should have infinite profit, it should be relational to labor not money.

You are stealing my right to distribution. I’ve addressed this.
Doesn’t detract from my point, it’s still not taking any supply. Right to distribution is a social construct, not a material good
