Do you pirate games?

[Pumpkin]

Ahem

[blackmage_nuke]

On labour day my net usage skyrockets.

I havent pirated a new game in a while since it's easier to keep up with updates when I get them on steam.

I dont have a problem with downloading games from the ps1 era and previous.

[Freya]

Ever since steam has had a larger library, I don't. Only time I do is if it's an oldschool rom. if it's not on Steam it's on GOG. When I have somewhere to find things, I will buy it. More industries need to realize this.

[escobert]

No not really. I have but if I like a game I'd prefer to have the real thing with updates and stuff.

[Kalevala]

If it's available on Steam? No.

If it isn't?

...

[Karifean]

I don't pirate games I can easily get legally. Usually.

[Spuuky]

No, but I'm awfully tempted by every Ubisoft game, since their DRM makes things so stupid and challenging.

[Shaibana]

honestly, the only reason i dont do it is because i cant play games on my laptop anyway.
got ps3/4 for that :3

otherwise i would. probably not all tho

[Psychotic]

No. Unless you count the emulation and ROMs of 20+ year old games.

[Aerith's Knight]

I've pirated plenty of things in my student days, but I've got cash now, so usually I just buy stuff.

Except for bulltrout DLC, or 2 year old ports at 60 euros. Greedy smurfers can lick the tail end of my pirate ship then.

[Vyk]

Piracy seems to be more about finances and availability these days rather than entitlement and greed

That was usually how it worked for me as well. I generally only pirated to taste test a game that didn't have a demo. And if I liked it, I would usually buy it. Eventually. I had Skyrim for like a year before buying it. But then I bought the Legendary edition to make up for it

But yeah. I don't really make a budget for games the way some people do, but I live comfortably enough to be able to afford a few games here and there. So I don't see a lot of reason to pirate these days. So like most people, the only pirated things I play are generally just the ROMs I have on my Wii with old console emulators. And that's just so I have everything in one place. I also have all that stuff on my PSP for good old times on the road or whatever. But I own most of the games I play the most on those anyway so whatever

[Ayen]

No.

[Carl the Llama]

I've pirated games I own, so I can play them on my PC if that counts. Games like FFVII, VIII and IX, few other games, but only if I own it.

[BlackFire]

Games no. Music yes.

[Del Murder]

Nice try, Officer Shion, but I'm not going to fall for this one.
