Do you think pirates really do buy some of the games they get for free?

I know for a fact that a lot of people do.

Personally, I can't speak for gaming, because I don't pirate games, but I do pirate a lot of TV Shows and movies ... And when I see something I like, I always buy it on DVD. I own Seinfeld, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Psych, House M.D., Heroes (first two seasons only), Lost, Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and probably a few more I'm forgetting on DVD - and I started off pirating every single one of them.

As for movies, I'm not even going to go there, because I've bought well over 50 that I started off downloading...

While I am with you on the movies front, comparing movies to games isn't really fair, unless you are getting a flawless copy with all the extra's that a DVD/Blu-ray has :)

I rarely use the extras so I didn't even think of that.

My point about quality still stands, the majority of torrents out there (unless you get a screener) are terrible.  Whereas a pirated game is going to look just as good as one you paid $60 for

I have no problem with DVDrip quality. Guess it's just me.
