A lot of people collect games like they are pokemon. My mate has a ton of games on steam that he's not even played. Plus a lot of those games are being pirated by kids who don't have bank accounts and/or are not mature enough to realise that pirating hurts people. If a friend asks another friend 'do you want a copy of <game>' they just say yes and that's the end of the thought process. The 'does this affect anyone' doesn't enter their heads. (source: teacher)

> A lot of people collect games like they are pokemon. My mate has a ton of games on steam that he's not even played. I have 558 games on Steam. Almost exclusively from Humble Bundle orders, I've installed and played maybe 30-40, and that's because I've made a concerted effort the last year or so. I have another 100+ on GOG.com, mostly titles from my childhood and teen years I've convinced myself I'll some day have time to pick up and finally complete. I can relate. > Plus a lot of those games are being pirated by kids who don't have bank accounts and/or are not mature enough to realize that pirating hurts people. Yes, that was me. The vast majority I never played beyond trying out to see if I liked them (thus my original question). The few that I didn't buy that I did pirate and liked? Well, see the GOG.com note above (but a lot of those are ones I bought twice, or in that case of M&M II or some of the Ultima Series, 3+ times...). Edit: A portion that was supposed to be offset as a quote wasn't.
