Seems like people feel a little guilty about stealing - as they should - so they start these threads in hope that others will tell them it's OK. It's not OK. That's why it's done anonymously. If you really think it's OK, put links to your pirated stuff up on FB using your real name.
1. Read reviews before you buy.
2. If all the people who pirated started paying, maybe they wouldn't need to charge $50 per game.

Filesharing and youtube broadcasting and all these other things which have a negative effect on the profits of bands who are already wealthy, have a positive effect on working class creative peoples work by show casing what they have to the world for free.
