There are a bunch of good games in bundles. No need for piracy if you have a credit card.

Good game doesn't necessarily mean I want to play that game at all. So I rather keep buying what I like :)

Thinking on personal copies, yes.
But being massively sold, it can get a good return, right?
The price decrease to increase sells. Many people who probably won't buy the game on standard price take it on bundles.

I buy bundles for mostly one or two games. Now since backlog is huge I rarely buy bundles, rather some DLC or single games

I have no issue with piracy, whatever others do, that's up to them. I personally don't pirate games anymore, but I don't look down on those who do.

I don't have any problem with piracy, because I use to practice when I was young. Now i have money to afford bundle, and I bought a lot of games I already played in the past. I hope in the future I will be able to buy it directly on Steam or an other official platform where it's not sold for 2€.
I understand that money is needed to make game, but dev also need to understand that without piracy, lots of people would have never started gaming and would not be buying their products today.

We should let kids steal cars then. While they're stealing someone else's property, they're also learning to drive, which means they may buy their own car in the future. Seems perfectly logical.... lol

How can you mention logic while setting up such a strawman arguement? I don't really know where are you from, but here it's pretty rare to cause traffic accidents resulting in loss of a life with downloaded games. Spot on arguement.

Because I was being facetious.
I took a very serious issue and treated it in a flippant manner just like KiiTa did. Piracy isn't a victimless crime, people loose their jobs and families are forced into hardship over it.

Copy and thief are totally a different thing, if you can't understand my point of view on this, it will be impossible to continue this discussion.
Thief would be that the dev can't use his game anymore, and can't sell it. Piracy is copy. There is still plenty of people buying his games, and he still makes profit. But why do these people buy games ? Because they like gaming, and understanfd the industry.
Car is a necessity, you need one if you aren't living in the city. Games are not mandatory in your life. So yeah, car indrustry will live forever, while the gaming one need to interest people. I'm sorry, but for me, piracy is part of this. it make people love gaming, and take care of the industry then.
If my father did not showed me how to pirate games when I was little, I doubt I would have today a steam library with 200 titles in it today. He couldn't not afford games for me, but today i'm trying to pay back my debt, because I grow with this industry and I don't want it to end.
Video Games Industry never had been better, and I'm also doing studies to become a software dev, because it's also a growing market. I doubt i would have headed in this direction if I wasn't a little pirate geek back then.
I understand that piracy is not a good thing, but not as devilish as some people want to make it sound...

You don't know what you had until you lost it.

It's more often because as a student who doesn't have a job it's pretty difficult to buy $20+ even if games are cheaper in SEA. If I'm a big fan of the game however, I buy it directly from the store :) (e.g. Fallout 4, Dragon's Dogma, Witcher 3, etc.)
Also like someone mentioned before, not all countries can have disposable income to spend on games :( The little money I do earn from trading is what I use to buy games and save the rest for emergencies,

Ah, the email 3, my most anticipated game of 2016! Hope to play it soon :)

I also love games with huge open worlds filled with bazilions various collectibles and worthless things scattered around so I can just follow the fucking arrow for hours so I eventually I get my serotonine dose when I see "729/729 shitstains collected" in the damn statistics window.

I don´t have problem with piracy - well I don´t think there is anyone, who doesn´t piracy at all.
I don´t buy bundles anymore, because of my backlog.
And for me a lot of good titles cost few euros in full price, so I don´t have problem to buy it anytime, if I want to play it.

I buy games (not always good) and bundles (mostly from HB - bundles there are just awesome! well, most of the time...), and I have no problem with piracy... that's how I could play games when I was a student and broke.
Thanks for the GAs!

Don't have a problem with piracy, prefer to buy games. Different strokes ...
Do have some regret over buying all the bundles I did when I first started using steam. At least I've cut that out.
