Gamers were raiding seagoing vessels filled with RPG materials,
depriving the merchants of their goods, and committing violence to do
so? I doubt it.
Personally, I think it's more likely copyright infringement was
involved. Which has nothing to do with piracy, of course, because it's
neither violent nor does it deprive the merchant of the goods.
But I'm sure you knew that.
