Why do you pirate?

[Hatsu]

All aussies have the same in common, we are poor bastards.

[updowners]

Because every game in australia is to overpriced

So true. So, so true. :/

That's why I pirate!

That's why everyone pirates!

I do what I want cuz a pirate is free, I am a pirate! For explanation, see here
And I pirate because I don't have enough money to buy all the great games that I wanna play.

 

[ChuckBartowski]

When it comes to certain games, ill download it even when i have the game or have preordered it but not got it yet. Then i still use the downloaded version out of not wanting to dump stuff. Also for games im not sure of.

 

[Sanoblue]

i pirate because im a poor a$$ lol... naw

i cant afford to dump hundreds into my gaming...
honestly i love collecting games... i have about 2000 games
and about 20 or so systems.

due to the age of some of the media they break easy

so i pirate to save money
buy the games when they are cheap
presurve the the games i have and to remind me which ones to buy

so i archive all my games as they are released in backup form
as i buy i trash the backups if they arnt that fun to play
or if the game has gained my utter respect

i keep the disc in mint

play the backup to death

 

[Sanoblue]

but i ask you guys.... am i crazy to pirate to amass the collection as backups then buy as i go?

Of course not. You buy the games you truly want. I do it all the time.

I pirate games because my mom is feeding 6 people by herself and has no money to support my gaming needs. If it helps (more like a "whatever floats your boat, retard" type of thing), I only pirate DS games. I feel kinda bad about it, but there's just no money fluctuating and my games get real boring sometimes.

I barely play the games I pirate though, honestly. I've only been playing Henry Hatsworth recently. My L button is 100% unresponsive now, so I have stopped playing that too, I guess. I wanna buy stuff from the shop!

On my Supercard, I usually play retro games, play music, or watch videos. I have homebrew, but they're basically filler for now.

When I get a job I want to dump all my legitimately bought games onto my SuperCard.

EDIT: Does anyone else feel bad for the game designers, at least? I do. But I don't feel sorry for someone like Reggie. I only feel bad for the lower employees and the ones who make the games.

 

[Skid00dshi]

I pirate because I feel like it.

 

[FluffyLunamoth]

I pirate because there are few games worth owning, and because I'm often strapped for cash. That, and because I feel like it.

 

[haflore]

I "preview" games to find out if I like 'em, If I don't I won't buy them. Does anyone here not pirate?

Spoiler

Never said what happens to the ones I do like

 

[Gore]

I pirate because it's faster (in most cases), freer, and easier.

 

[Porobu]

because I can and I dont have lots of money to buy games

 

[nando]

i don't.

 

[stuffnflufff]

I pirate because I'm a super poor uni student. I had to sell stuff just to buy an AK2i.

 

[Dr.Killa]

too many games, cant spend that much money on all. i buy some, pirate rest

 

[Salax]

I use it to see if games are any good. If they are, I buy the real one. If not, *delete*.
