blotunga: The guy is from Bulgaria, where the average income is under $500/month. Similar to Romania, where I live. Ask yourself how many kids under these circumstances could afford 30-80 USD for games. In my case for example my parents saved up and paid 3 salaries equivalent to just buy me a PC. The price of a game back then was about half a salary...
You don't have to pay $30-80 for games anymore. There are more than enough sales where you can get games for less than $5. Even if you're into modern (AAA and/or popular) games you can get a lot of recent-ish games or game series for way less than $10 (Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Dishonored, Life is Strange, Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Metro, Fallout, The Witcher, Dragon Age, Dead Space, stuff from Telltale, ...). If you're so poor that you can't even afford that, you probably shouldn't have paid a few hundred bucks for a gaming capable CPU and GPU. If you can afford gaming hardware, you can afford games too. Save $50 for the next winter sale and you'll get enough games to play until the next winter sale.

As I said, most people who still pirate games are kids. If your parents bought you a PC that doesn't means you afford or have the means to buy games. Under 18 yrs you probably can't buy them without your parents anyway as I said in my previous post, the world is rarely black and white.

The question is: Why do your parents throw money out of the window for a gaming PC if they don't plan to buy you games? Again: $50 a year is enough to get more games than you can play. That's $4.16 a month.

I think most PCs today can run many games at least on lower settings. Anyway my point is that some people will pirate no matter what their justification and it takes time for them to understand that in the end they are hurting the people who bring them their favorite game etc. However that doesn't means that they are evil thieves. Most don't even realize they are in the wrong, others have other reasons. But I'm almost certain that after a while their ways will change and their previous pirate "career" actually may be beneficial in the long run.

Usually you cannot play multi-player with pirated versions.

My parents most certainly never ever gave me a game when I was under 20, that was unthinkable for them. The computer was for work and study. I am sure the same goes for many other families as well.

paladin181: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….. HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Shitheads like the OP are why we can't have more DRM-free games.
Methinks the peeps in this thread are getting trolled hard. ;p
