Nothing. But i usually buy games made in my home country. Trying to move the industry along.

I don't "refuse" to pirate anything. If I buy something I see it basically as a donation, that I like what the creator does and want to support them. I tend to buy indie games for that reason; I wouldn't buy a AAA game because obviously they don't need the money. Oh, and I buy books if I know the author is actually a good writer, ie if I've read something by them before and I want to support their writing. Also seconding what people are saying about FOSS; I've donated a lot more to FOSS projects than I've paid for proprietary software.

movies/series that are available in amazon prime. since i use my friend's amazon prime, i just use it to watch stuff quickly instead of going to private trackers. only exception might be "The Boys" since there is a huge number of scenes that got censored.

@tet nothing is off the table.

Piracy puts control back in the user’s hand, where it belongs.

I guess technically am not pirating all the games Epic gives me for free.

I'll buy most things I like on steam once they hit under ten bucks. It's mainly just for convenience.
