    My legal gaming library is absolutely massive, because I’m able to test games for free first to see if I like it. IMO making people wager $70 that they’ll enjoy a game based on doctored trailers shouldn’t be legal. Same thing with music. Imagine not being able to listen to an album before buying it.

      Same here. There are quite a few games I would have never purchased had I not been able to pirate it first. Piracy acts as a demo of sorts for me. If I actually like the game, I almost always buy it.

    It’s interesting to see how the acceptance rates decrease with age, in an inverse correlation with purchasing power.

    Young people are broke, and the entertainment industry is going to have a hard time adapting to this reality in a few years if things don’t change.

    I probably buy a lot more than the average person and I pirate more too. Companies won‘t see that though no matter how many studies, they just chase their next dollar—worse than a crack addict.

    I pay legally for:

    • YouTube Premium
    • Peacock
    • Max
    • Spotify
    • Global Comics

    I also have a monthly pass at a local theater chain and see new movies almost every week.

    BUT I torrent everything else. Sorry, Universal, I’m not going to pay $24 to rent Fast X.

      Why for spotify and youtube? These are big monopolies that already kill their competitors and make ppl resort to piracy in the first place
