    See how everyone agitated everyone is when Google does stuff to prevent blocking ads on YouTube. Video games are not required to live or even actively participate in society. I say, sure, go pirate it if you can’t afford it but don’t invent ideology that makes you look like an entitled child.

      Not sure what adblocker has to do with piracy, but the right to use adblocker is an even easier argument to make. I don’t see why anyone shouldn’t be able to parse through files downloaded from an http request however they want. I doubt most people read every bit of text from every web page they visit, why make an exception for ads? That’s like feeling obligated to reading every bit of junk mail that makes it way into your mailbox after you sign up for a new credit card.
