Tough call since they're kind of diametrically opposite each other as RPGs go.
Disco Elysium is an interactive novel. If you treat it as such and delve into it committing to their fail-forward design philosophy and unafraid of picking weird dialogue options it is incredibly rewarding. I have not been moved like I was by DE by any other videogame.
Pirating or buying is a coin flip. I hate that Kurvitz, Rostov and Hindpere were forced out of the company and the IP stolen from them. Still, they were not the only ones in the studio working on the game so buying it still gives some money to some of the creators. I think you can justify either decision morally. And yes, the Final Cut is the version you want.
Morality aside, I prefer not to pirate software for safety reasons. Malware is an issue, even if it's rare.
I definitely understand that. These days I hate playing games if I can't get them on GOG.
I hate going outside because of a chance of catching the flu, but I'm gonna anyways
Bad analogy. I'm still 'going outside'. It's just a question of how much I pay to mitigate the 'chance of catching the flu'.
More like cycling to work with or without a helmet. Or wearing a cheap mask during covid.
Perfectly happy to pirate media, but pirated software is a risk I can largely avoid for a very low cost.
Your personal circumstances may differ, so do what you want.
But helmets are SOOOO expensive
