In this thread: People that disagree and then turn around and play games they don't truly own on Steam

I pirate, and also pay for games I think the devs should make money on. I happen to like bioshock and la noire enough to pay for them on steam, with cracked copies to keep.

Why not buy from a DRM free platform or one where the devs make a bigger share of the profit?

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It depends on the game. I also don't want to create many accounts all over the place. I don't think gog has bioshock?
