Hi, I’m curious, if you changed the way you pirated things. When I was still a teenager living by my parents I would pirate any game they wouldn’t buy me, later as a student I got a little “state money” and would still pirate every game I want, but then would buy the ones I enjoy, kinda like a demo. The first one was probably The Witcher 3. I would also get stuff from Humble Bundle. At those time I lived in France and even if piracy is illegal, at that time the authority trying to track pirates was shit (Hadopi), never got caught without a VPN.

As an adult I moved to Germany, and here it seems like they’re a bit more on the lookout for piracy, I have a VPN, but stopped pirating game because my PC was really in his last days and I would play on a legit Xbox. Now that I have a good PC and a salary, I buy my games but I’m way more difficult in my choice, my last buy was Gray Zone, and it was mostly to support the devs.

I’m often looking on fit girl what’s available, but I’m way to lazy to get back into pirating.

So what’s your story?
