AITAH for pirating games before buying them?
AITAH for pirating games before buying them?
Nowadays, the absolute vast majority of games that I play are shit tbh.
This is why I pirate games first to try them out. I wanna be very clear that if I think a game is good I buy it, no questions asked.
However, since most games don't have demos or trials, I don't want to feel like I've wasted money so I look to piracy so that I can try them out before making a purchase.
AITAH?
You're viewing a single thread.
Yes you are an "asshole" for stealing but also fuck these companies are so shit you shouldn't care.
In a pure ethical debate its wrong but on a practical level I think its fine. Steam has a 2hr no questions asked refund policy which I feel is reasonable and so I don't pirate unless I want to play a game and not compensate the people who made it.
If you refund too often they will consider it "abuse" and stop letting you do it.
I don't try new games that often do it suits me.
I appreciate the input!
