    Piracy is often one of the few ways to playtest a game without having to spend money to find out you don’t like it.

      @dingus @raresbears, or worst, spend money to find out that the game don’t work in your PC.
      Piracy is one possibility, but other is to look for good Giveaways, which are often in Steam or GOG. Also some very good free games out there, like this one (one of my favorite of all time).

      It used to be you could get a demo of a game to try it out, but that stopped being a thing a while back…presumably because game studios know their games suck and don’t want people to realize it until it’s too late.
