About the only time I actually pirate a game nowadays is if it's not available for me to download day one on Steam. Then if I did like the game, I usually end up picking it up when it makes its way to steam, after it goes on sale.

I only pirate games I can't buy from the publishers anymore, so things like old console games, or delisted PC games. I may pirate a game that I own for a console so I can emulate it.

But honestly, I mostly play on PC and have a ton of cheap options, so I don't need to pirate unless I really want to play something I can't find.
