I've been PC gaming my whole life even when Consoles pull away alot of my attention.

I've saved a lot of money not paying a single cent downloading all the free games to my PC so I'm grateful.

LOL

Why is that funny? You should support the people who make the things you like instead of stealing from them. 

The same can be said for those who buy secondhand games from stores like Gamestop, the developers don't get a dime from any of the re-sales but people still get to enjoy the game. An problem of equal, if not greater, proportion in my opinion. Its even fully legal and has a whole market segment devoted to it.

The problem with console secondhand sales is reduced solved greatly by online passes and other similar DLCs what not.

Personally I don't see steam or GOG having an effect of PC gaming piracy.

It's still doesn't affect the PC gaming piracy situation here in Asia.

there is not really any retail game market in most of Asia, the reigon outside of Japan is dominated by F2P PC/Web games, and recently mobile games.

Yeah, the Asian market as a whole simply operates under widely different rules and circumstances than the West.

Also, I can only speak for myself but I haven't pirated a single game in about three years since I started to use Steam, GOG and Green Man Gaming. I also buy some retail copies dirt cheap at Play.com.
