    I was finally convinced when steam sales were incredibly favorable.

    I could either go to Gamespot and buy a used game for $20 + tax and have to deal with some sweat giving me shit about my gaming choices. Or buy that same game digitally for $10.

    Around 2011, I remember not buying consoles anymore and continuing to grow my PC collection.

    Around 2017, my pirating dropped significantly. I think I had like 1000+ steam games from buying so many bundles.

    By 2020, I didn’t pirate a single PC game, the games I bought 10 years ago still work, and I bought a game from the Microsoft Store, only to rebuy it on Steam.
