[–] 1984@lemmy.today 65 points 3 years ago* (4 children) Because people here are tired of being exploited by corps I would assume. Also it's a teenage thing. No money but wants to play all the latest games. :) I used to download every single game when I was a kid. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] code@lemmy.mayes.io 34 points 3 years ago (2 children) Im almost 60.

A certain company's games play better emulated on my PC day one than after a year of updates on their own console. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zebov@lemmy.world 17 points 3 years ago I'm about 40 and have used them as demos for some time. There are a ton of games I've ended up buying that I never would've due to piracy. Maybe I'm all alone, but when finances are tight, I QUIT pirating games so I won't find another I love. Also I'm firmly in the "I bought it, so I should own it camp." I have quite a few games that I'll buy, but still use the pirated version because it doesn't need the internet, or need to spend an hour updating every time I want to play. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 0v0@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago "I still do, but I used to too" permalink fedilink source parent
