What does everyone think of this. You can pretty much find most games through google and download them for free. Has anyone here ever done that?

...

um, well, no, but i know people who have, um,

When I was a kid with no money, I used to pirate like Blackbeard.

Now that I am established I support devs by buying their product whether it be from the store or off of things like Steam.

No, but sadly I buy used games since my income is too low for most new releases.

That is even worse IMO. You are giving your money away and the people behind the game get nothing.

I used to pirate games a lot. Now I usually end up buying. I spend the same amount of money as I used to and get a few less games by waiting until price comes down or Steam deals. The less games isn't a problem since I have a lot less free time than I did in high school.

I'm feeling a little more rebellious now. Every time a publisher releases a game locked with draconian SecuRom crap, I'm going to buy it used for like $15 and crack it like hell. You hear that EA? See what you made me do?

again?

yay, i do it :P , well, i've only downloaded the last remnant, because no one in my city sold it "non-original", and many original games in my country are pretty expensive (about $75)
