I’ll go straight to the point:

  • Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
  • Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
  • Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
  • Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
  • Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

    Honestly it’s also back to being a price thing for me… Shit’s out of control, “sales” are $30 for a 5 year old game.

    It seems like since the pandemic everyone and everything is raising prices and somehow they all have a reason, yet my pay stays the same…

      I’m not trying to be a jerk, but if your pay has stayed the same for 5 years, you have a you-problem on your hands.
