      Agreed. The whole reason I used to pirate was because I was gifted a game I really wanted for Christmas, and it wouldn’t run. I had the specs required, but the graphics card had a known problem with the game that the devs decided wasn’t popular enough to deem fixing.

      These days my main platform is fantastic with refunds if something doesn’t work, so I’ve little need to pirate.

      Yep. The only reason i pirate games these days is because they dont offer a demo. After a few hours of playing a pirated game i either buy it or uninstall it. If they offered decent demos i wouldnt pirate at all

          No it’s not. It’s pretty explicitly not, by the guy who is most famous for talking about piracy as a service problem:

          Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.
