After I got burned on Doom3 and Master of Orion3, my policy is pirate first and buy if its good. You gotta support the good games

This is sorta amusing as I'm "trying" Hitman Blood Money right now.

I'm like Dwg though, if I like it, I'll buy it. I steal music more than games though. People who have seen my big 500 slot folder knows that I end up buying a good bit of games (mainly because I wanna have the online experience)

Games that I know I want I buy. Mainly online games. But for the single player experiences I tend to usually 'acquire' first and pay for later if I want it that bad. For example (and a bad one at that) Flat Out and Flat Out 2. If I were to have purchased them first I would have been pissed after about two hours due to the game being so damn repetitive. I do like the games for a 15 minute diversion but I am certainly glad I did not buy them. If the game is good enough, i will buy it. Now If I would have applied that philosophy to BF2142....hopefully the bugs will be ironed out in future patches.
