Which game did you pira... err file-shared that you ended up buying aftwerwards?

[comput3rus3r]

For me was Dragon Age Origins. I liked the game so much I ended up buying the ultimate edition after completing it with elf mage. Then finished it 2 more times with Human Paladin and Dwarf.
Also Inside. I played it for like 1 hour and then I just had to purchase to support Playdead for such an amazing game.

Honestly, I can't remember one.
I keep promising myself I'll buy it for real but then before I know it I finish with the game and then there's no point paying for a game I'll never play again.

Minecraft Java.

the point is to support the developers so they can keep making the games you like playing. This is specially important for indie games.

Hmm, tag force 5, liked it a lot, beat it, bought it and beat it a gazillion more times.

Quite a bunch, to be honest.
I ended up buying them afterward, now they're all sitting on my shelves collecting dust.

well, I like to purchase them for my steam collection if they're pc games of course. The only games I have collecting dust are the ones I bought first before going ahead and getting a digital version.

I try to get the physical release as much as possible, unless it's digital only.

This, I never believe people who saying they gonna buy it after trying the game. Be a full pirate or don't.

I have kids so i'm the opposite. I dread physical copies. I remember my daughter breaking Super smash bros U a week after it was released.

Way too many to list here. Honestly if a game has kept my attention for a couple of hours i'll buy it, if not it gets deleted and never thought about again ... unless less it was an absolute trainwreck.

I believe my steam library is currently hovering around 761 games and physical games (atlast count) around the 1500

It's not about being a "pirate" It's about trying something before you buy it. Almost everything in commerce has a satisfaction guarantee except for media. Which is not fair for consumers. And you can't really go by reviews since a lot of them are biased. Ironically the most money I've spent on a game is a free to play game. Dota 2.

I *file-share* all my games
The ones i like i go and buy
The ones i dont like i just delete
Demos sometimes dont feel like the actual game so i dont do demos

minecraft java, gmod, saint's row 2, GTA 4

i can't remember more at the moment

impressive. how do you keep 1500 physical copies? I would never have the space for it. I have a hard time finding space for my 20 wii u games.

-Rocket League
-Minecraft Java
-Gang Beasts

Also I did the exact opposite with Splatoon 1, I bought it on release date and I couldn't play online anymore when the 2.0 update came out and I sold it.
Then three months later I pirated it to see if the problem persisted (and it did until a storm broke my router and we replaced it, now I can play it without too much problems)

Many, the last that comes to mind is Project Mirai DX.
First I "shared" Project Mirai 2, it was only in Japanese.
Then I got DX, USA version.
And finally I was able to get my hands into an actual European game card.
Sure I've played that game over 300 hours.

Other games that I also bought after "testing":

• Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow (how couldn't I)
• Xenoblade Chronicles (it was a PITA to find a copy back on the day, but then they released it on the eShop)
• Fire Emblem Awakening. Actually I bought it twice, first I bought it digitally, but I gave my USA 3DS as a gift to a friend, that game included. Then I got a CIA for it and played it on my EUR 3DS XL, and then I just bought the European game card.
  
• Metroid Prime Trilogy
• Super Meat Boy
• Bravely Default
• Fire Emblem If/Fates (I wanted to play it ASAP fantranslated, bought it when it was released in EUR, limited edition at that)
• Xenoblade Chronicles X (same as Fates above, limited edition also)
• Many other games, but I should stop and work already.

@comput3rus3r It's a struggle, a lot of them are stored away in the loft in air tight boxes. Me and my mrs have been talking about getting a bigger place, hopefully then i will be able to display it all. Thinking about the 1500 is really a lowball estimate, I still have stuff still stored at my mother's house
