I was a game developer for a while. I’ll sometimes buy a game just because I want to see the devs keep making cool stuff, with no intention of actually playing it.

If it’s a corpo AAA title where private equity has already demolished the dev team and there’s no chance my $50 will make it past the publisher and financiers’ cut, I have no compunctions about pirating.

But that’s pretty rare for me. Indie games are where it’s at. Maybe a F2P live service game here and there.

I mean, you can do both. Pirate it for trying if you're not sure if you want to play it or unsure if it's a worthwhile investment and then spend the money on a legit copy. Helped me get like three copies of Slay the Spire back in the day lol
