What’s yours? This whole “pirates are also buyers” is just a cop-out, but sure your anecdotic experience is valid proof against the more logical alternative
Common sense logic kinda dictates that once people have obtained a product, they’re unlikely to go back an pay for the same product even if they liked what they got the first time. The only outlier I have seen, is with small(er) indie games where people are more likely to offer support. Someone pirating a AAA title, liking it and then buying it shortly after at full retail is pretty rare i would say.
“Many” so what’s your source for this?
Also I have bought a bunch of games and I still pirate sometimes what are you talking.
