Does anyone else feels this way? Like for example, I got HShop on my 3ds (HShop let's you download every game for the 3ds for free) and I began playing through the Mario & Luigi Series, and as I play, I slowly became like, cmon, hurry up, this game better end soon and I was only like 5 hours in. Not because I hated the game, I loved it, it was so fun and unique, but it is like I felt entitled to fun and enjoyment and gameplay and story this game gives me because I installed it, but I don't want to waste too much time with it,
Compared to games K have purchased with my own money, like Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon for the 3DS, I have spent like a hundred hours in this game playing online and the story mode and I loved it and never felt rushed to finish this game so I could move on to the next game,
Other games I have bought played and felt similar to Luigi's Mansion is stuff like Cuphead and Celeste and Far Cry series and older cod games, and fallout games, GTA, etc. Then other games/media I felt kinda rushed to play that I pirated but honestly still were incredible games I loved were the Danganronpa series, any TV show or movie I pirated, or just literally anything I have pirated,
A funny one is GTA, I pirated San Andreas and while it is a good game and fun, I didn't enjoy myself and again felt rushed, then I legally bought San Andreas and I didn't feel rushed and still enjoyed the game. Also, another funny one is WarioWare Gold which I pirated and had I blast with even going beyond the main story and into challenges and side content, so I am asking, anyone else feel the same way?
Edit: here is another funny example I just remembered, I heard Kaguya-sama: Love is War is a funny show and I watch the first season legally on Hulu, and I enjoyed it until I found out there is another few seasons. So I got a crunchyroll trial to watch the rest of the show. I didn't finish the show within the week trial (I like to savor shows) so then I had to resort to piracy for the last season, but I then felt rushed to finish the show and to this day, I haven't finished Love is War,
Also, note for any feds, this post is not real and is a satire of piracy culture. I have never pirated anything in my life,
