But you're still going to download the game and give them nothing for it.
Yeah makes a lot of sense.
The only point you make with that action is that you're a thief.
I will not argue that point. I do pirate games, but you are stating it in a way that makes it sound like I don't buy games at all. My steam library and shelf-o-games at home would like to disagree. I buy games that I love, and I buy games that I want to support. (indie lolol)
Additionally, Epic had every chance to impress me and make me want this game, but all they have managed to do is put up a mudslinging marketing camapign and show videos of rather boring looking gameplay.
Portal 2 on the other hand is still firmly in my "day 1 buy" list because valve has shown enough to interest me and hasn't gone around dissing other games and making stupid tweets.
And due to the lack of a PC demo I decided to pirate the game instead of risking 60 bucks on a game that I firmly believe will play like garbage.
