    And how do these companies make the money required to pay the salaries of their employees?? 🤔

      Record-breaking profits usually suggest that even when they have all the money, they will not pay the devs much.

      If you carjack someone else, commit actual grand theft auto, does that mean the workers in the car factory that produced the car get their pay retroactively revoked?

      That’s actual theft, you stole it from the owner, and even then it doesn’t affect the factory workers’ salary at all.

      If I get a copy of Starfield from a friend after they’re done playing it, does that count as stealing the devs’ salary?
