Question for those that do: do you also pirate indie games? I am also inclined to just pirate Nintendo games as I already do on my 2DS, but I'd kinda feel bad about not giving money to actually good developers like Supergiant Games

Edit: Not sure about the downvotes. I'm asking a genuine question

Most indie games are priced properly. I buy a lot of my titles, but Nintendo has a bad habit of never dropping the price of their titles.

Piracy is a literally victimless crime. Definitely support indie devs if you can afford it, but no one should feel guilty for downloading and running software.

I never said it was, hell I was one of the biggest pirates in my college, literally ran a NAS on the local network of everything that I had, which at the time was a few TBs of stuff, which in todays terms would have been hundreds of TBs. Myself and a few others supplied basically the entire college with everything you could get at the time...hell even one of us hosted some of the expensive ass books for a lot of the courses.

Yea no doubt. Do you usually buy games on sale or full retail price?

Depends, most indie games are properly priced, but a lot i will get on sale or through bundles. The amount of games out these days is crazy. My backlog is to the point that I'm sure I'll have died before i play through them all.
