Yup, outside of legacy PC titles which will never get a re-release, a 1-2 combo shot of GOG and Steam, I don't pirate games. I even took the time to find way to backup my games so I can get legal ROMs too.
Yep, GOG and Steam are pretty much the only ways I play games and I've bought a shitload of games from them both over the years.
Same, I have never pirated any game since the day I installed steam for the first time. It just makes buying games so much easier, and I don’t have to worry about drm or malware at all.
In my case, I rather pay a one-stop reasonable price for content than deal with the hassle of piracy.
I have a FHDB PS2 and soooo many games to back up 😭 ughhh.
I have a few titles that I "backed up" 🏴☠️ already, but i'm not looking forward to ripping my physical disks... my PS1 library took the entire day and two cd drives, sadly most of those disks were partially unreadable
PS2 discs can be ripped on a PC with a DVD player. Same with PS1. The PlayStation copy protection was on system not the media.
