So i earn the minimum wage and i cant afford most game because they usually cost around 24-27% of the money i earn, i usually buy stuff on sale because i like to 100% games on steam (even tho ppl say its worthless) i kinda wanted to play death stranding 2 but then again it costs around 25% of my wage that could be going to important things. i'm torn between spending this money on a game or just saving for basic needs. is pirating games on this scenario the best course of action?
- Don't play AAA games unless you are a streamer.
- The reason AAA games are expensive is because they know the majority of people interested will just watch a streamer play it, so the streamer is effectively buying the same for several users.
- Focus on indie games that are either sandboxes (infinite playtime potential) or have high skill ceilings (speedrunner games like Celeste or Bombun)
If you want to pirate you can, but it sounds like your issue is you're buying AAA games as someone that doesn't monetize playing said games.

I would pirate everything even if I was a billionaire (maybe I would pay for games I really enjoyed).

You really don't own your games when you buy them on Steam and they can always remove your access to them. Also, you always need to run the resource-hog steam (its interface is a webapp btw). So why wouls you buy them on Steam?
> is pirating games on this scenario the best course of action?
It always is
I only buy games from indie or solo devs after pirating and completing them and finding them better than a 7/10, my steam library has 400+ games following this idea.
i only buy games i'm too lazy to pirate on my gpdwin, gaben has me by the balls

i only pirate indie games and buy all AAA games i play
