Any reason why you did not pirate the game the first time you wanted it?

Generally more convenient (automatic updates and easy downloading on anything that has steam) and more than that, he probably wants to support the devs

I was a game developer for a while. I’ll sometimes buy a game just because I want to see the devs keep making cool stuff, with no intention of actually playing it.

If it’s a corpo AAA title where private equity has already demolished the dev team and there’s no chance my $50 will make it past the publisher and financiers’ cut, I have no compunctions about pirating.

But that’s pretty rare for me. Indie games are where it’s at. Maybe a F2P live service game here and there.

I mean, you can do both. Pirate it for trying if you're not sure if you want to play it or unsure if it's a worthwhile investment and then spend the money on a legit copy. Helped me get like three copies of Slay the Spire back in the day lol

I think that might worsen my problem lol
