I do but only for one reason: I am financially incapable. If I had money I would buy it even if I had pirated it at first. I can only buy manga since they are way cheaper than games. I guess that's my way of paying for the manga I read online. XD

I used to buy them, when they still came in those pretty, big cardboard boxes and gaming was still a small, niche market. Nowadays, with all the mainstream titles, I have to download and try them out before buying. And mostly I can't be even bothered to do that, since there are plenty of video walktroughs out there that showcase the game's quality.

Well, I wont beat around the bush. I pirate games just because I can. 90% of the games I pirated I don't even play I just download them for the sake of collection and couldn't care less if companies etc are losing out.

Even if I had more money I still wouldn't just because why pay for something you can get for free? For me I don't think I would stop downloading games aswel as other medias movies/musics etc just because I can get it for free. If I lost that option of pirating content, I still wouldn't buy games movies/music and the rest but that's just me..
