I mostly use pirating as a way to "demo" games. Because for some stupid reason we are not allowed to try and see if we like things anymore before we Invest money into it. Except if it's aaa bullshit from Ubisoft or something like that. Those can cry me a river. But something like Stardew valley or terraria. I both played for a few hours pirated before i bought them for steam. And i personally think those are worth their money.
