I pirate all the time. Only old Xbox 1 games though, so I have no worries about dev paydays. I'd rather spend my money on new games that benefit the industry rather than used games that only benefit rip off merchants.
I do know at least half a dozen people with R4 carts though.
When I was a kid(25ish years ago) I had boxes full of C90s with loads of games on each of them, but always paid for a lot as well. It was common to let your mates copy your games while you copied theirs.
