It is anedoctal, but I never bought an original game until my late teens. When I finally had the means to buy original copies and support content creators, I did. If I don't want to pay for a game that I find too expensive or not worth, I don't download it anymore, since I already have so many options to choose from.

That's a valid point. After thinking about it for a little while I guess that's not a problem for me.
The only downside is that any e-mail using my domain will be obviously mine (provided they know who owns the domain). If I wanted to "hide" I would have to use another e-mail, which was going to be the case anyway.
