Man piracy should get their act together there is piracy causes more people to purchase your games. Then there is they never would have bought it. Frankly I don’t care I orate cause I want to and don’t try to justify it with any BS.
Seriously. I never would have bought Earthion, TWICE, if I hadn’t pirated it and fell in love with it. I firmly believe in financially supporting creators that make things I love. I DON’T believe in taking the risk of paying asking price for a game I may not enjoy in an era when demos are a rarity. As a point of comparison, Trails in the Sky FC has a demo, which I played, and convinced me to buy the full version. Pirating Switch content isn’t worth the time an effort to me, and without the demo, I never would have bought it.
I have noticed a bit of an uptick on Switch, too, but not nearly enough when games are running upwards of $60 at retail. I’m not paying that much for a 100 hr JRPG with a combat system I don’t enjoy. Trails sold me on the combat system alone.

I’ve been seeing a lot more demos of games on Steam in the last year or so.

Unironically the most honest and dignified pirate!
