This is untrue. It's the case for some of them, maybe, but not all. When I was more or less young (before actually I started working), I did pirate quite a number of games, for reasons I retrospectively know were bad. Since then, when I see a game on Steam I remember I vave played without buying it, I buy it. But at that moment, I didn't make plans on that. I just happened to feel bad years after. What also helps is the fact that these games sell now for nothing, while they seemed to cost an arm and a leg back then (AAA games). Since I discovered indie games (my first was Minecraft during its alpha), I have never played a game I haven't bought. However, I consider most games are overrated pricewise, so I buy them during Steam sales (except the rare ones I think are worth their value at full price, which is rare).Lo Wang wrote:I think a vast majority of pirates buy games they feel deserve their money.
TL;DR : People pirate games for various reasons. I disapprove, but don't judge. I think only the people who have worked to make the game possible have a moral right to judge.
