Why I'm back to pirating... (lemmy.ml)

It's hard looking for giveaways, and usually the games given away on Steam aren't that good. So, I'm back to pirating after a bit of a hiatus.

Pirating software is risky. Never doing that unless in a VM. I also do not find it justified to pirate entertainment like videogames. And pirating software in general I also do not find justified because there are great and better free software alternatives, unless you really need it.

I find it mostly justified to pirate knowledge, science, ...

I agree and disagree in the same time. I agree with the point that free and open source software should be the way and make pirating obsolete. But some software, especially games, have no counterpart in FOSS software. On software side in example never find a good one source alternative to Adobe Acrobat.

LibreOffice Draw, Okular, Xournal++, LaTeX, ... i also use a 4.9 version of Master PDF Editor. https://itsfoss.com/pdf-editors-linux/

Look I did not see this was a game piracy community. And I was hypocritical about games because I used to piracy old plastation 2, Wii, ... games. I also did that with music, movies, shows, .... but I still feel like I can live without most of the content I pirated; only some of these media I have taken for life but they became valuable enough for me to purchase.
