You have an i2500K and a GTX570, you have no right to pirate <$10 games.
Me, on the other hand...

I spent all the money that I saved up through 5-6 years (since I've been with a dual core from 2005 to 2011), it was an enormous investment   |

This thread. 
What does it matter what the price is? If someone wants to pirate a game to see if it is worth it, then the isodemo is justified. Regardless of the price. I don't mind paying 60$ for games I like, but I isodemo them first, almost every time (and the times I don't, I usually am disappointed).
The hypocrisy of this I don't like at all. Either you support testing of games without paying or not. Black and white. It is beside the point if a game comes from a big publisher or some indie bundle.

Because those fucking billionaires don't even sell in my african continent and even if they did they can suck a dick and anyone who thinks I'm obliged to pay. Because if I had to pay it would be either a video game or a whole month's food supply, guess what I'm gonna buy.

I really only download a game if it doesn't provide a demo. If I like it, I delete the game until I can afford it otherwise I play all teh way through and won't buy it lol.
I also refuse to buy a game on steam if it's over 30 dollars. They can't justify to me that a game used to cost 50 dollars and you'd get all the goodies with it, but now you can just buy a digital "license" to use the game on steam and still pay that same price and more? Hell...no.
I haven't even bought a game on steam yet that cost me over 25 other than L4D1 when it first came out. I dont' count FEAR 2 in that because I had no idea it was using steamworks, and after I played it for 20 minutes I threw my copy out of the window because it sucked. I wish I could delete it from my steam library.

In some countries like Poland, there are plenty of people (like me) who earns 400euro. Try spending all of that for life and games/media.
funny heh ?
Still... thanks to steam good discounts I manage to have plenty of original games but I am really planning top get Bioshock infinite but 50E is just so much spend....

Then why did you spent 3 years of food supply to just buy a computer?  |
