Hey /v/ do you pay for your games? Why or why not?

>>386484885
I do my best to not pay. But sometimes I have to. Glory to emulators and roms.

I don't known

I guess morally doing it, because i kinda feel guilty by pirating.

I try my best to pay for games nowadays, i used to pirate a lot of games though

I still use emulators for older consoles tho, and will occasionally pirate a game if its just for a LAN or something.

>>386484885
I normally pay unless i can't get the game normally or if i only want one game from a certain console and im not spending 100+ bucks for one game. [And if the developers aren't gaining profit from the game its fair play]

Pirate first, buy later if it's actually decent and I end up playing it.

Shit that I can't try for free first, like fucking ESO, I just ignore.

Pirated my 3ds but didnt really care about it too much since all the games i wanted to play were released before i cracked it.
Pirate most pc games since i can, altough i always try to buy games i love or that have good multiplayer.
Ps4 isn't pirated yet so that's were all my money goes now.

>>386484885
No I don't because they cost too much in my country and games these days are pretty much shit.

And no, I don't feel remorse.

>Laptop got stolen
>Spend all my money to buy a new one
>No more money to buy games

Now I stalk Humblebundle and g2a to see if I can find a good game for 2 € at most but I mostly pirate

Bundlestars and kinguin are also places to look for cheap offers

I pirate sometimes, I pay others.

If I pirate something and love it, I usually go ahead and buy it afterwards.

The last thing I remember grabbing for free was Haydee and as I expected, it's just there for titty physics. Didn't buy it.

>>386484885
I used to pirate when I had no money (so no lost sales) but since I can afford them I buy them because of little conveniences like cloud saves, not having to find decent torrent, achievements, cute library, gaymen e-peepee profile and other shit. And if steam decides to pull the plug on my games I'll just go back to piracy. Currently I have only ME3 pirated because fuck origin.

>>386484885
No. Why? I like to save money for other things.

Fuck no. The only games I've bought full price are all of Zachtronics games, and even with that I pirated Infinifactory first.

Zachtronics' games are pretty much the only games I've played that are priced at what they're worth.

>>386486893
I also use steamgifts but I havent won anything except some shovelware games

>buying things
lmaoing at your life

>>386484885
Most of the time.

If I really want to play something but it seems like too much of an investment i'll pirate it tho, then pick it up if it ever gets to the value I think it's worth.

If I didn't have coonsoles I would probably purchess way less desu, it's much harder for me to justify something digital.

>>386484885
I don't pirate unless I want to demo the game, call me autistic but I literally pirate a game to try out 40 mins of gameplay. If I don't like it I uninstall, if I do, I buy it.
