    It’s not free. The associated cost is searching for an appropriate release, potentially eliminating any issues with it and then still risking becoming part of the botnet.

    In contrast, buying games on deep sale is pennies and it just works.

        I didn’t say all games. I’m a patient gamer. I buy when they go on sale, years later. Unless it’s a really well received indie game. I try to pay full price for those.

        Steam (and I assume other platforms as well) change prices depending on region. So what may seem unaffordable in Canadian Dollars, is likely well priced in Hungarian Forint or Czech Korunas.
