I exactly bought it later because I pirated it as a kid. Because if not, I would've never learned about these games in the first place. Maybe I wouldn't have become a gamer at all. I didn't even actively ask for it, other kids at school gave me the disks and said: play this!

Except Nintendo most companies release new IPs and characters on every other gen... so tell me how you pirating Crash would generally translate to you buying UC4, because I have a very hard time believing children that pirate are very keen on following each single dev to see what is their newer output.

And you specifically isn't the norm for the industry.

I played Moneky Island, UFO, Doom 2, Indiana Jones, Duke Nukem 3D as a kid. And bought these exact games later.

 

Console is a different beast, by the time I had money the generation would've. Besides I had no games for monetary reason, why would I have a console?
