Again, it's not stealing if you look at the definition of word stealing. There's a reason it's called piracy not stealing. You are not stealing what those people/company have (the product is still their, the result of their work is still their), you can't steal what they don't have(potential money). It's not stealing per definition.
You still may consider this legal/not legal/moral/immoral and it's ok, each can have their own opinion on this topic and there are different laws in different countries but using word 'stealing' is not correct

software piracy means "the unauthorized use or reproduction of another's work.". It doesn't mention stealing. Stealing have a different meaning

yea. and copyright lawyers used this word piracy to confuse people
Sure, you may not have taken away money from Nintendo’s bank account by coercion/force/whatever, but the company and its employees have partaken into an effort to produce something of obvious value to you, for which they are asking for compensation for you to be able to enjoy, and you’re choosing to skirt this understanding so that you can enjoy their work without compensating them for it.
Yeah, you didn’t steal money - you stole their work.
Understand that you’re not entitled to other people’s work, regardless of what they’re asking for it. If you don’t enjoy their stipulations for it, like the hardware they limit their software to run, you’re free to not transact, not steal the work.
