Your friends can afford the type of gaming PC necessary to play those $60 titles, but they can’t afford to buy any games for said PC?
And they can’t even wait for them to go on sale? They need to buy them right at launch, at their full $60 price?
> Or reach out and take the thing which is free?
It’s not free. It has a price.
You can play most games to some degree on hardware that's 10+ years old, but yes, hardware is usually something they've scrounged and saved for.
And do tell, what is the practical price of pirating a game you couldn't afford anyway? Risk of a virus? Some abstract cost to society itself? Nobody cares.
If they scrounged and saved for the hardware why can't they do that for the software too?
Because if they already struggle to afford a PC then anything on top of that will be even harder.
