It seems the lack of current demos makes it hard to verify quality before purchase. You bought GTA 5 because it performs well on PC, which can be a solid indicator of its performance.

Pirating is inherently wrong, which is why it’s called that. Whether you intend to purchase it later doesn’t change the fact—it remains a violation.

It remains against the law, yet I believe it's reasonable to focus on the quality of the port. Things are uncertain these days. *Cough* Ubisoft *Cough*

since no one talks about it being bad, it's about who it affects. for the company it's fine, but for you? it depends. if it makes you feel better before buying, then it's okay. not every game comes with a demo, and even today's demos can be confusing. but sometimes watching videos or reviews on YouTube helps a lot.

Piracy is piracy. To understand how a game functions, you can rely on one of the most powerful resources available—Google. Most users with comparable configurations have bought it and shared their experiences online, either through YouTube videos or forum discussions. I always wait for someone with similar specs to test the game before worrying about its performance.

I think its smart thing to do. No point in buying new game that could run badly on your pc. If you are planning to buy it anyway no1 gets hurt.

Thanks for the torrents. Assassins Creed Unity launched on PC cost £49.99. If I had bought it at release day I’d have been really upset. I downloaded it and noticed how poor it was. After they released patches, I still think it’s not great. I’ve only played it for about an hour (mostly to fix things), so yeah. Occasionally when I remember the games I downloaded but didn’t buy, I go back to Steam. Torrenting isn’t bad. Reloaded usually tells you “If you like the game, buy it!” I follow that advice.

I felt the same about AC:U—he probably played no more than two hours, and honestly, the connection was terrible.
