I pirated 95% of my PS1 games, 100% of my PS2 and now 100% of my 360 games. To me it is as simple as if I don´t buy pirated games I won´t buy real ones, so no company is losing real money because of me. Games here are so expensive it is impossible for 95% of the people in my country to buy.

What a classic excuse.  I do agree with stof, that pirating games is not the biggest sin in the world, but I still do not appreciate the people that do.  And if you wouldn't have bought the game in the first place, then plain and simple, you shouldn't have it.

I agree with you , but as someone who´s been basically addicted to gaming since a child, I said "screw it!" (immaturity) and became a pirate. And from now on, I will become a "real" gamer.

So it goes from "not pirating games --> not being a gamer anymore" to "pirating games --> becoming a real gamer down the road". I think that for let´s say Sony which suffered the most from my pirating they will soon be getting real money from me.

I really can´t excuse it and I´m trying to mend my ways, but the fact that I did will lead me to being an honest gamer so hopefully that will serve to "make up" at least part of my pirating behaviour.
