Kinda sad because I usually rely on steam reviews to see how bad or good a game is.
If I'm interested in a game, I usually download a repack to try it out and if I like it, I'll buy it.
What if the game is hard to pirate or it has a demo.
If it has a demo like old school days, then I'd try that. If hard to pirate, but it really seems like something I'd enjoy and has mostly favourable reviews then I buy it.
Fair enough
