Nowadays, the absolute vast majority of games that I play are shit tbh.

This is why I pirate games first to try them out. I wanna be very clear that if I think a game is good I buy it, no questions asked.

However, since most games don't have demos or trials, I don't want to feel like I've wasted money so I look to piracy so that I can try them out before making a purchase.

AITAH?

Nope. Ive been burned on several games (back 4 blood anyone?) And tired of losing. Maybe the game isn't for me, maybe it won't run on my system. I have several games I bought after trying them from torrents: rimworld, farcey series, fallout 4 (love/own 3 and NV, needed to test 4). Several games that I really like I've bought a second copy for a shared account so my kid can play them also.

Nothing wrong with trying before you buy in my opinion. My library is full of games I r never installed. :(

Me too. Latest one is battlebit. Game looked fun. Plays very well. Balance is shit.
