Hmm funny...I have never Pirated a game.. I either Buy it or don't:)

I've pirated a few in the past, but it's something I stopped doing a long time ago when I actually started to get an income. There are a few points I always keep in mind. One is DRM. Like the majority of consumers, I hate it, and hate forced copy protection that annoys normal use, pirated games have less of this, at the possible cost of more bugs. But one trend that has really been annoying my lately is the trend of demos being released 2-6 months AFTER the full version of the game is out. How do they expect people to try their game? Not everybody is going to make a plunge and hope for the best.

Of course, this topic can get much more in-depth, but those are always my main focuses.
