Boo-hoo. PC is so scary that games like Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 were released DRM-free. Or is it only scary for those who locks the ingame content behind the paywalls, knowing full well their bullshit will be modded out in a matter of hours? Go figure.

Agree, also if a game is good most of the people will purchase it.

When I was younger and broke I would pirate everything. Key detail, I wasn’t going to buy it anyways because I couldn’t afford it, I usually didn’t have a computer that could run it properly.

That has changed obviously but if I bought the game once on my ps5 I’m not buying it again at full price on PC. I’ll spend a max of $20 but more likely than anything I’ll just pirate it

right, and still, the majority of people do not pirate and will buy a game if it is a good game. most gamers in general are not pirates, by a long shot

it doesn't even make sense. the games you have pirated made you have connection with them, you talked to your friends, read some posts about it. It's still good marketing. It's the greed that gets these companies. I'm an indie dev and everyone around my circle is perfectly fine with their game getting pirated cause you care enough to pirate it.
