    I like to reward developers for making an enjoyable game. That's why I pirate before I buy. If it sucks, it sucks. If it's good, I buy a hard/digital copy.

    There's honestly no other way to justify it other than your own personal morals. Some people care, some don't. Just the way it is.

    The chances to be caught when stealing a car are extremely high. The chances to be caught when pirating vidya are almost zero. At least in my country. It's also much more difficult to steal a car when pirating vidya is basically the same process than purchasing a game from steam. Except you can download it at a higher speed and don't have to pay for the right to download.

    And I download games which you can no longer get in the normal store.

    And I don't trust game reviewers to tell me how I am going to like a game, nor do I like demo's all that much.

    it doesn't hurt the developers at all. In fact it even helps the developers, because if I liked the game I'm gonna talk about it and say how good it was, which might convince some buyfags to try it out themselves.

    I wouldn't have bought it anyways, so in the end, me pirating it was better for the developer than me not playing it at all.

    in many cases the scene releases are much better than the steam version/ retail version. Take those ubisoft titles for example. Settlers 7, Assassins Creed 2, Splinter Cell, they all work much better without that retarded DRM thus the cracked versions are far superior to the original version.

    I pirate games

    I buy games pre-owned

    There is no difference (to the developers) between these two statements. They still make no money. Actually, if you pirate a game you're probably doing it before/just after it's release... Which i suppose contributes to the hoo-hah and shit about it coming out etc to those who will buy it. Making pirating marginally BETTER than buying pre-owned.

    Cracking a game doesn't magically make bugs appear that aren't in the original version already. There's just the case that some games have built in "bugs" as a form of DRM, which is a really old hat and pretty much every well known cracking group has been working around that shit perfectly for years.

    Then I realized that in the two hours I spent trying to get the game to work I could have earned enough money to buy the damned thing.

    Now I buy it on steam and start playing it 5 minutes later.

    You know what? Pirating isn't stealing per say, because when I copy a game I'm not taking the original from it's owner.
    Moreover, this is a doggy dog world, and if game developers can't stop people from copying their games, why should I care?
    When they put out a product without making sure its protected against copy, then it's the same as giving it away for free, for all intensive purposes.
    And don't give me that speech that "if you don't buy games developers will stop making them". I could care less if they go out of business, because I know there will always exist great free games made by people who just love video games like Toady, Pixel and Notch.

    And why do you pirate and play games if you think they are so shit beforehand? No wonder /v/ is so bitter all the time, you are actively seeking out things you hate.

    I'm in two minds about this. There are games I never would have given a decent chance if I hadn't bought them - games which I later enjoyed the shit out of (Borderlands for one).

    On the other hand, some games are just obviously great. You don't need the incentive of having purchased them.

    I'll admit piracy is laterally related to stealing, but you're using a terrible analogy there.

    That's why the 'you wouldn't download a car' ads are awfully ineffective against anything but the most dimwitted pirate.

    1. You should pay for multiplayer games that you like so that the developers can make more games you like.
    2. You should pirate single player games, or else you waste money.
