I have read the first couple of pages, and on the subject of piracy my views are somewhat "Grey" as opposed to "Black and White". If a game has huge replayability (Battlefield series, Fallout Series, Diablo 2 etc etc), or will keep me playing it more than once, then yep Ill buy it (namely cos its a pain in the arse when it comes to updating the latest patches after the game has been cracked.)
For a game that follows a particular linear storyline that doesnt change when you play it a 2nd or 3rd time (Matrix:Path of Neo or Vampire:Bloodlines), then Ill hire the game and crack it. The game doesnt justify the money Ill spend on it (after all when its finished, i know what happens and nothing will change. Items will always be where I found them the 1st time, hence no point in spending $50-100 only to play it once).
On a +ve note, I havent cracked or pirated a game in almost 6 years now. Most of my games have been bought legally.
