Yeah, i have geometry dash in mind cause is a one dev game

But in case of paid games with online features like CS Source or left 4 dead? Valve has enough money, but i think there might be some issue with servers in case i pirate them

always pirate

Kek, funny joke

If you want the game for multiplayer and the only way to play with everyone is to buy it, buy.

In all other cases pirate. It's not worth it to buy games anymore. A lot of games get updates which make them run worse. Some updates even remove support for some configurations so you can't launch the game. In other cases a game becomes unavailable for purchase because the publisher/developer craps out a "remaster" with a higher price-tag, higher system requirements, and a much larger install file.

Soon you will have no choise when all software is in the cloud and will be sold as a service

I have a gog account and regularly browse the reduced items and buy things I find interesting. This is my main way to find new games to play. I rarely pay over 20€ for a game. Usually under 5€.

When I want to play something that is not on gog I pirate.

pirate what you will but you should buy at least something every once in a while to keep the wheels of the industry going

A game worth playing ist a game worth buying

There are heaps upon heaps of games that you can't buy legally now, so pirating them is only possible choise to acquire them.
