Almost 2000 Steam game library, and I've been downloading stuff since ftp lists on IRC. A download is not a lost sale!
Same here, I kind of enjoy purchasing great games like Baldur's Gate 3 or small developers game.
I also kind of enjoy giving my money to companied like Steam when they sell great devices like Steam Controller or Steam Deck (not so much Steam Link, I never used it).
On the other hand, companies like Epic Games that removed support for Rocket League for Linux can go fuck themselves. Or companies like Netflix or Disney that hikes prices and removes features like account sharing or block content just because I dont live in the US, I stopped giving them money when piracing was more convenient than paying them. It's not about the money anymore, it's about customer satisfaction.
