I've secretly and recently been pirating a few PC games
I hope you know what you're getting into. Is there any reason behind it?
I don't want to pay for mediocre games and I'm not really a fan of console games.
It's understandable if you feel the temptation to get things for free, but it's still illegal to pirate software without paying for it.  If you are not interested in the games, you can always wait until you find a great game that you are willing to pay for.  This will encourage the developers to put more effort into making better games.
I don't see why I should have to pay for it and I still have a perfectly good PC with high res.
I'm just saying that people deserve to get paid for the work they do, whether it is cleaning, or developing games. How do you think the hard workers would feel not getting a cent from what they did? So how about just finding a demo, or watching clips on YouTube first?
