I fully agree with Linus TBH, though I'd have went with the term "jerks" and not "scum." I mean, it only takes a couple of seconds to disable AdBlock on LTT and help LinusMediaGroup in doing so, but you'd still rather have no ads over your one of your favourite content producers being able to actually afford to produce content?
I can understand why people pirate games though. Some games just aren't worth the money they're sold for, and at times the publishers themselves are just jerks e.g. EA, Ubisoft.
