"By no means do I condone their actions, but would they go out and buy the game if they couldn't get it otherwise? In most cases the answer is no... they either do without or find a way to get it for free. They aren't willing to actually spend money to get the games.
Of the games that you refused to give them -- did they ever buy any of them because of that?" I believe that they would not "do without." I was willing to spend the money to buy games, and if they couldn't get them for free, so would they. In fact, the one time I saw one of them buy a game was out of frustration due to not being able to play online w/ a pirated CD key.
p.s. What I said was that I refused to ACCEPT pirated games from them. And what do you mean, you're being treated like a criminal? If you're not pirating any games, no one is treating you like a criminal.
