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?

    Is it a small studio or a place that encourages unionization and pays creators for their creation? Then not really, cuz you still paid for it in the end.

    Is it a shit studio with shit ethics? Then yes. Stop giving monsters financial approval.

      Or just stop playing games from shit studios with shit ethics in the first place. If they’re that bad, you shouldn’t be playing their games at all, pirated or not.

        Sometimes the neighborhood bully has the best toys. Why can’t you play with their Tickle-me-Elmo and piss in their sandbox?
