Exactly. When I "used to" pirate games (dear me! I would never dare break those little laws now) it was originally because I was way too broke to pay for them. When I had more pay I later bought nearly everything I had pirated and actually played on gog or steam. Since then it's just easier to use steam or GOG than to pirate and scan and install and mess with my firewall and install the crack and diagnose wtf I messed up. Since then I only ever pirated games I'd never ever buy. If you count every game I pirated (sometimes up to three times based on if there were issues, virus scanner pings, lost the file and reinstalled on another drive, etc...) as a lost sale I've potentially caused up to 10k or more in losses over the hundreds of games I've illicitly downloaded. Most of which, again, I downloaded with a bank balance that hovered near 0$.
