Well, to enjoy some games fully (e.g. to play them in coop/online modes) you must "own" them, those pirates who want these extra features, but are obviously not going to pay for them, come to SteamGifts to win them for free.

They could, but they can't play multiplayer games so that might be the reason. Also owning a game and pirating isn't really the same, anyone can pirate games, but people choose to buy games or give them away to the other people. You can't really say, hey they can pirate everything, why are they joining the site, pirates have the same reasons for entering the site as everyone else

Exactly my point...

It's bland and boring, completely and utterly soulless. It's a glorified tech demo for GameByro (and doesn't even show it off well) with the worst programming in the history of ever.

No game in the world ever has needed fans to fix over 1K bugs...and even then it crashes every other minute and runs like a dude with no legs (in other words not at all).

The only reason anyone even remembers it is because is because of all the stuff one could do with Gamebyro BESIDES being fooled by Bethesda into believing you're playing the next installment in the TES series and that at the time that implementation of Gamebyro was the most graphically impressive and piece of software looking like it belonged in the RPG genre had been.

Oh sure, I was graphically awed at first too...but then after the first Oblivion Gate once you really get the chance to explore I realized it's all the same damn thing. It has less content than demos of other games. Oh sure there are dozens of caves and dungeons and stuff to explore but they're identical with only a bush flipped around here and a rock moved from the left to the right there with some rusty nails and iron crap at the end if you manage to get there before a save-corrupting crash. (and yes, I do know the are some "special dungeons" which have a bit more spice added to your dose of copy-pasta but that's still like a bunch of plain noodles with a single slice of cheese on top trying to pass itself off as cheese macaroni)

If fans would not have been able to do Bethesda's work for them this would have rightfully gone down as one of the worst attempts at making a game in history rather than some people actually having fond memories of it like you.

The same way people have wanted to Boycott Ubisoft and Activision for their despicable practices so should this also be boycotted. Giving them money is an insult to your intelligence.

Yet a pirate cannot play most of the games online, so sites like this are a gold mine sometimes.

Hence my comment above; of course there are millions of reasons/excuses to pirate though.

TBH, when I was younger I used to pirate new games and then buy them later on a -75% (to sort of redeem myself). Now that I have way more games that I can play, I just wait for the price to drop...

But yeah, I would really like to play some games (like ME3) but simply won't buy them because of always online drm, Origin, or other such crap. Maybe I'll pirate them eventually.

I pirated a ship in Risen 2 and Port Royale 3

chec for "piracy", not "pirate"

Nope $100. FAQ - 'What are the base requirements to join the site?'
