I probably spend about $60 a year on just one game, while most others cost much less. There really isn’t a strong moral reason to go that way. If you don’t mind spending that amount, there are plenty of cheaper options available. However, piracy isn’t one of them (though I’d get a one-time payment if it were). It’s fine if you’re okay with that, but regular purchases aren’t the best approach.
Consider this: if stealing intellectual property leads to lost earnings for creators, aren't they entitled to adjust prices to offset those losses? The same rule applies to retail and shoplifting. Perhaps it's worth exploring a hobby that aligns with your financial limits.
It really varies by group. There are four main groups: 1. Drm crackers who just want to demonstrate, 2. Bounty hunters, 3. Malware distributors, and 4. Piracy operators through official channels. Some crackers team up with repackers. Repack sites often maintain high quality by avoiding unnecessary junk and work closely with the same groups mentioned above, plus they have verification teams. You might be surprised how few people actually crack games globally—under 30 worldwide. It's an interesting field to explore since many of these individuals eventually join Drm companies, leaving a gap for new talent.
