Occasionally I will download a game from the internet but I usually have a friend who burns me copies of games.

I haven't bought a PC game in 10 years:Starcraft I received from a friend who became obsessed with Diablo.Warcraft 3 I received from a friend who bought an XBOX.Maple Story, of course, is free.All others have been demos or played at friends' houses. Down with piracy!

I only buy the most wanted game to play. Since I don't have enough money to buy many new games, I uasually just wait (for a long long time) to download free games on internet.

If it's a really good game, I download it and play it until it gets on sale, then I buy it or I buy it on internet.It it's an average game, I download it and play it.

MY boyfriend and I share a Steam account. After working on making a game a bit, torrenting tends to make me feel a bit dirty. So I can understand stuff there. When a friend let's you use their game the makers still get money. I torrented a game once but that was because you can't buy it anymore. I think torrenting old games like that is fine. I had a special place in my heart for Claw so I had to make an exception. :)Oh, and if I really like a game I buy a copy myself. The company deserves their money.Though I admit I still get GBA games off of here. *sweatdrop*

If the game is relatively new, I buy it from a store or if I don't have the money, I ask a friend who has it to burn it for me. I'll still buy it when I have the money, because I can't really play online without a legal copy.If the game's old and can't be found in stores, I usually download it. I can't really buy stuff on the net because I don't have my own income, so I depend on my parents for giving me money for games and they're dead set against paying for anything online.

I almost always buy games from actual stores, since I've had a bad experience with pirated copies and the ones you download from the net. Plus I really liked the feeling of actually having the stuff that comes with the game; the box and the manual.For those really old games I can't find anywhere, I "borrow" from my friends, and they usually forget, effectively making the games mine! Unfortunately, the reverse has happened before, haha, karma works in not so mysterious ways.

I usually just go to the local stores Wal-Mart/Best Buy and buy the games there. I haven't ever bought games off the internet but I have downloaded games :sniper:. Turns out it wasn't the game I was looking for :foldarms:

I download all mine. I personally don't feel like paying 40 dollars for a game that I might just throw away after one day of playing it.
