I actually downloaded a pirated copy of cave story
Could you not afford to buy a copy of the game?
I'm a poor student and I do bad things to support myself.
I understand you want to play the game. But stealing games isn't the right thing to do.
Legalize downloading pirated copies of pc games, then I won't have to do this anymore.
Legalizing illegal activity makes no sense. Save up your money more wisely and only spend it on things you absolutely need. When you graduate and get a good paying job, you'll then be able to buy games instead of pirating them.
