The only games I pirate are those that either :

_ are completely abandoned by their publishers and literally unavailable through other means

_ are stuff I already bought long ago and this is the most convenient way to get them to run (I have occasionally bought games again if it was cheap and convenient)

_ have turned to such shitty business models I don't want to give a cent to the publishers (and I almost don't even do that one anymore since usually they've found a dozen more ways to turn the game to shit anyway).

So yeah. Totally agree with the service problem.

There is a lot of SEGA product that I would buy, if it was DRM-free. Shin Megami Tensei, Sonic Origins, and more. I don't let DRM and rootkits onto my PC, so I either pirate that stuff or just engage with someone else's product. Either way, SEGA has lost hundreds of dollars.
