I usually pirate when there's no demo for a game, I'd like to see if my PC can run the game and I'd like to see if I like it. Being there's no return policy on games it makes it hard to try it no? So I grab a torrent and try it, if I like it, I buy it. If not why the hell would I keep the damn game on my PC?
To you silly people saying there's no excuse to pirate, there is, and I just said it. If the company wont provide a demo then I'll make my own.
check the hardware specs and read reviews maybe?... your argument isn't really absolute
Hardware specs are a bunch of bullshit, my friend couldn't get Gears of War to work and his PC was well over the requirements. Epic Studios wouldn't answer any emails either, forum moderators ignored him too. So that's 50 dollars well spent when a demo could have really shown us what would work instead they basically just ripped him off and got away with it.

That's not a real excuse. Why? Because 99 % of the times, people
don't buy the real game, and besides, your argument has no legal support.
You say that like you're 100% positive most people don't buy them, I do, and that's all I need to know when I do it. Legal support? You think a court would honesty have a case when I own the game? All 5 games that I actually did pirate to test I bought, or someone gifted it to me.
Let me ask you this, a company puts out a game but release no demo which helps test if they made a good version, if it works on my PC (in todays world there's plenty of games that are incredibly poorly ported (GTAIV, Saints Row 1&2, Bad Company 2, big name titles mind you) , if I like it? Review sites are bribed so it's hard to get an accurate view on if the game is good. To top it off, you cant rent, return or borrow a friends copy with PC games. With a console sure you've got at least 60 options for trying it, not with PC games. Mind you I stated clearly that I demo it on a pirate version THEN I buy it if I like it, and to restate if I don't like it, why would I bother keeping it.
You just pirate games I bet and don't buy them!:
So you're saying that its wrong for me to "find my own demo" to see if it works before I go spend 50 dollars for a game that might not work at all? And just hope that my 50 bucks will be well spent? And that this multimillion dollar company didn't just shovel it on to PC and hope to make a quick buck? You know like Borderlands had no working multiplayer for about 2 months on PC?
