Do you buy all your games, pirate all of them or mix of both?

I pirate every game I play because I refuse to support a corrupt industry.
>>
Pirate to try them, buy them if they're good
It's worked so far, thanks endless space, towerclimb, and rabi-ribi

I buy everything I want to play.
>>
>>334401429
My general rule is that I pay for games only if they are less than 5 years old.
>>
>>334401429
I pirate everything, if it's a good game then I'll just buy it, did this recently with Dark Souls 3.

With the way the industry is right now you can never be too careful.

A mix of both

For 1 pirated game, I buy another 5, but it's mostly old stuff that's hard to find

I only buy my games because I'm not on any private videogame trackers, and I don't trust anything from public trackers, especially not videogames.
>>
>>334401429
mix of both

pirate only when the games are years 2008 or below

Pirate 99% of them. I really don't care if I hurt the industry or not, I am completely unapologetic about it nor will I make excuses. I pirate because I can and as long as I can I will do it. I don't care about multiplayer at all, I don't care about the developers, I just don't care and you can't stop me.

I do buy SOME games though, when some games I actually enjoyed more than normal get to like $5 I'll buy it on Steam just in case in the future I want to play it and the torrents are dead. I will never buy a full priced game though, never in a million years. $60 is a scam for 99% of games, I can name off the top of my head games that are worth that much and even then I wouldn't. A game like Fallout New Vegas was probably worth $60 just because of the sheer amount of content and replayability in that game. I still bought it for like $5 though because fuck you.

I pirate old games.

>>334401429
I pirate games ps2 era games and before. I purchase newer games.

Does it have cute girls? Buy.
No cuties? Pirate.

Don't want to make cute anime girls cry!

>>334401429

I used to pirate everything back in my college days. Nowadays, I'm a buyfag except for older games that can be emulated.
>>
>>334401429

I hate Neptunia with a passion.

I buy all my games but I always wait for sales if the launch price isn't cheap.
>>
Single player: pirate. Unless it's really cheap then I'll buy it for the convenience

Multiplayer: buy
>>
>>334401429
Pirated all the games until I found a decent job. Now I can afford to buy everything, but don't have enough time to play them

Mix of both, but mostly pirate because I play old games 99% of the time and don't see the point of paying for abandonware.

i buy most and pirate when i want to try something, then buy if i like it
>>
I want to marry Nep!
>>
I buy most games and pirate stuff I want to play but is made by someone I don't want to support with $40+ line Jonathan Blow or EA. I usually buy it later when it's on sale for like $5 if I want to replay it.

I pirate because while I have the money to buy everything I'd rather save it for something more important. I do buy the occasional game because my Wii U 5.5.1 WHEN is unhacked, thankfully there's not many Wii U games I'm interested in.
>>
>>334401429
I pirate most of the time for PC games. If I see a really good deal though I buy.
I also buy games I loved when I was pirating them months/years later for way cheaper
>>
>>334401582
Yeah fucking greedy bastards demanding that their government furnish them with what every citizen in the civilized world is already entitled too.
>>
>>334401429
it's mixed, generally I pirate games when they don't have a demo or I want to see if the game runs properly. I do pirate games I consider not worth buying because their lifespan/price ratio isn't reasonable.
>>
>>334401429
pirate everything except nintendo games
>>
>>334401508
Pirating games still supports the industry.
If you think it's corrupt, get a new hobby.

>>334402207
That's not Uni I can tell it's Uni from a mile away.
