i pirate a lot of stuff, but that's mainly because not much is available/accessible for me where i live. i never pirated a game that's been up on steam, gog.com or other such service. the more stuff is there - the less i'll pirate. money i have, time to go around searching i don't.

He said he doesn't have time to search retailers...

it's not about stores. we live in a twenty-fucking-fist century ffs - why the fuck should i pay for a piece o'plastic, delivery of said piece to me, and all the other overhead expences - manufacturing, logistics and the likes - when i have a shitload of space on my hard drive and a broadband connection to internet? give me a legitimate way of downloading my games, steam my movies and music for me, have those douches at paypal accept russian credit cards already - and i'll never ever run that bit-torrent client again.

i buy from them regularly. but, as i said, first, i prefer digital distribution and, second, most of the stuff they have is either translated ruined by so called "localizators" or takes months to deliver.

i "cry"? what makes you think that? i'm cool, dear, thank you very much. and all the stuff i really want - mostly things i pirate first, yes - i do buy, even if it involves asking my friends in different parts of the world to buy and mail things to me. i'm not trying to justify anything - i'm explaining my views on the topic. do with that what you will.

Don't know about you but hard-copy are most often cheaper than downloadable purchases here

this is another problem related to the topic at hand. do you know why hard-copy are chaper than digital? because the fucking publishers won't have it any other way. they want you to pay $60 for, say, a newly released game of which only 10% or so goes to those who actually made it - the developers - AND they want you to pay that - or more! - even for digital copies which have none of the manufacturing and logistics costs associated with them. why? - because they also run or have contracts with retailers who push all the paper and plastic crap which you do not need today at all - and if digital copies were cheaper, who the hell would ever buy bloody boxes again? it's a circle jerk in which you - the consumer - and those who actually make stuff - the devs - are getting screwed.

anyway, i'm living in this country in the middle of nowhere, remember? we either have it fucked up by "localizators" or delivered from the other parts of the world - and beleave you me, with the shipping/handling costs hard-copy costs more than digital here.

I think this pretty much applies to me, however I do have a monthly subscription to spotify nowadays, so I guess music is off the pirating list too.
