I can think of a whole bunch of games I only bought because I pirated the predecessors back when I was in school and had no money whatsoever.

Me too. I did pirate quite a few games back when I had no money. Games that I wouldn't have been able to buy anyway. Since then I have bought most of the good ones. Not even to play them but to give some support back to the developers.

I use ROMs of games to figure out titles that are interesting to me, and that I'll possibly pick up in the future.
