I have not bought a game in years. I have pirated several, but I have never pirated a game I didn't already own a license for. (And actually, by 'pirate' I mean downloaded a keygen to get around inserting a disc into the drive.) I now exclusively use Linux at home, which compounds the issue.
I suspect I'm not alone, and there's a large market of gamers who were more hardcore in high school and college who don't want to deal with the shit they're shoveling, and are quite content with the games we bought years ago.
