Here's my piracy shtick.
I beat half of Blasphemous on a pirated copy then I bought it, moved the save file and kept playing.
Criteria: I like the game. I'll probably play it again in ten years and I want to support the devs.
What would've happened if I never pirated it? I'd be saying the same thing about someone else's game.
I pretty much do the same for almost a decade whenever a game doesn't have a demo available
