Well, this thread is surprising. I pirate a lot of games and I don't feel too sad about these poor companies only selling millions of games. I like Larian but, come on.

That being said, multi-player with cracked games is a pain: it usually doesn't work at at, sometimes it's half broken and often it's painful to setup. So do it only if you feel up for a challenge.

Otherwise, pirating solo games and paying for coop ones is a good balance for me.

In French, we just pronounce it as three letters, so I was very confused at first when my English-speaking colleagues were referring to sequels of apparently nothing.
