Yes - pirating media is wrong. But when you admit that, you have to keep going. Is it right to right-click+save-as a picture you come across on the internet? Is it right to record a song you hear on the radio? Is it right to record a movie or sporting event when it's playing on TV?

And then you have to ask yourself - "have I ever in my life taken the work of someone without paying for it, whether intentionally or not?". Most people in life have at one point or another pirated a form of media

Also, it's fine that you don't agree with everything I say. Life would be boring if everyone had the same viewpoint.

One thing though. Surely if a game gets an 90 something on Metacritic(stupid site I know) why would you need to "demo" it for yourself to see if it's good? With written and video reviews, surely that's enough?

Once again this question is not to me but I will answer anyway, because we all have our own opinions just because a ton of people like something doesn't mean you'll like it too, it's all personal preference so I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to buying most games.
