Hear here. I tend to be careful about pirating, but I'm most
especially careful when it comes to games. I will sometimes accept a
copy, but if I honestly like it, I will ALWAYS buy it.
The gaming industry is a real struggle for the people in it.
It's really hard for computer game companies to make a buck.
And Linux games... I tend to buy more than one copy, just to
try to encourage porting.
Have fun (if at all possible),
