This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What's not true? That you represent most pirates? I don't think you do, and I don't think a sample size of 1 is indicative of anything.

I would also argue that pirating games to see if they are good, just further proves that you "would never have bought the product in the first place."

Obviously there is some grey area here though, because one of us seems to be accounting for people that have ever played the game before, and the other is not. Buying sight-unseen vs pirating and THEN buying if it's good, is of course two different things, the latter of which I was not accounting for in my definition of "pirate".
