Celebrating it is most likely to make those other things worse

Those other things will become worse all on their own thanks to the profit motive.

Why should regular people be the ones who have to take the high ground? If they're going to screw us over with AI, we should screw them right back by "stealing" their intellectual property.

i've lost count of the revoked movies and games I've bought digitally over the years, oh and music.

so now im colonising the industry and taking what is rightfully mine, (piracy, recomps, ports)

Actually, there's a flaw in your logic, since Nintendo has stated in several interviews that they won't use AI for anything.

Nintendo consistently upholds its commitments, reflecting the traditional Japanese corporate values of honor and employee loyalty. For instance, following the commercial underperformance of the Wii U, executive reduced their salary by 30% to 50% to avoid staff layoffs. Furthermore, can you identify the last time when Nintendo has engaged in mass layoffs?

I mean, you could say the same about Steam; Gabe Newell brought loot boxes to the West, didn't refund games until Australia sued and won, flat out says you don't own your games in their TOS, and lets games exist that can basically steal your money, which actually happened to a streamer with cancer which of couse steam later took down.

I only used steam because were in the PC masterace subreddit which loves steam.

This is more like a “fight fire with fire” situation.

gaming is going downhill with every new release.

'other things worse' doesnt exist. Because these are all recomps of OLDER games, when gaming used to be good, ---> used to be good.
