Was it one of the Mazda-based models? They were built by Ford, but not with Ford technology.
Ford honestly has had the occasional hit, but also oh so many lemons.

Theft of Services is a specifically-defined crime in some jurisdictions.
Then you're depriving someone of operating costs and/or time, depending on the specific business model. Just making a copy of something without their involvement doesn't do that, period. It might still arguably be wrong, but it's definitely not theft.
I wonder why they keep doing business.
All of the Pi engineers are former bcm employees, last I heard some of the pi people were even current employees. There seems to be some motion away from bcm though.
Who knows what kind of bullshit they will bake into the game, but if GTA V is any indication (who knows?) then you will still be able to play the single player game from e.g. a Steam backup* years from now.
* Never use Steam backups. They usually don't fucking work. Just back up the various directories.
you insist on only using the "legal" definition of "stealing" in the context of piracy which requires depriving someone else of the item, and not the colloquial usage of stealing that means nothing more than illicitly obtaining a paid product or service without paying for it
That's not only a legal distinction, it's also a real one. If you're not depriving someone of something, you're simply not stealing. Anyone who thinks differently about that is just confused, and what's more, they were deliberately confused for the benefit of the copyright cartel. Thanks for letting us all know how confused you are.
If you are expecting to play Grand Theft Auto VI as a physical game...
You can play Grand Theft Auto Wherever at any time. Just go outside. Unfortunately, you can only play in so-called "roguelike" permadeath survival mode. (Funny, I don't look like an @...)
The first game I encountered that effectively did this was Half-Life 2.
You could install Steam from the disc, but then Steam insisted on being updated.
You could install the game from the disc, but then it insisted on being updated. The update was, you guessed it, a full download.
So really the disc was just a waste of space and money, it might as well have just had a code.
Fuck, the only thing I want less than truck that will make Jeff Bezos money is a Ford. Never another Ford. Never.
Better that than giving Bezos more money.
Oh Iook, some drive by troll proved me right
Yeah, we need power, which is why nuclear is stupid. We could have more sooner with renewables.
"meaning that these "people" would not be capable of speech or abstract thought (or really much more than rats or similar-sized animals are capable of)."
Brains are not equal. A parrot does a lot with a tiny brain for example. I think the rest of the argument is more compelling

No need to announce your arrival any more than your departure, just fuck off
Yes, you trolls certainly are small people.
Some people only open up to tell you that they're closed.
