Quite simple really, in this theroetical situation, you do pirate games. What developers will you always buy games from, instead of pirate?
For me:
Valve
Blizzard
Bioware
Bethesda
Sports Interactive (love me some Football Manager)
What games company would you NOT pirate from?
Uhh, all of them? :P
I guess Blizzard as well if I had to choose. I couldn't stand not being able to play Diablo 3 over Battle.net.
" Man you guys are no fun, it's a therotical situation, I can't believe if someone gave you a free license to get any games you wanted for free,with no risk, you wouldn't use it. "That's basically the case anyway. It's a dick move and if there's a game I want I'd rather support the developer and purchase said title.
" I think the OP might have some 'splaining to do. "How so? I think it's quite clear from my gamertag I don't pirate games, but I can't honestly say if I was offered a bunch of games for free, with no risk, I'd turn it down. That's why it's called a theroetical situation.

Forget it, maybe I worded it badly. Let's put it another way.
All the deveopers give their games away for whatever price you want to pay, like EIDOS did with Championship Manager 10, what developers you you give the full £50/$60 each time?

If I had to pick one it'd be RARE.
I feel they deserve my money, and they certainly seem to need it.
When I had access to a internet faster than 56k I would pirate any software, no matter the developer. Then again, its hard to spend $80 on a game when you are making $900 a month and have to spend $600 of it on rent.
When I was a kid, I used to pirate the odd game, sure. Now that I'm all grown up and have a job, though, I don't pirate anything - really against it.
This means that I haven't played some games I really wanted to, though. Mainly Ubisoft's current PC lineup. I'm not getting involved with that DRM.
I pirated games. Most of my early teens. For the PS1, PS2, GB, GBA, and for some time, my PC. I couldn't afford original copies, hell, I couldn't even afford pirated games most of the time. But ever since I bought my PS3, and every console after that (PS3, 360, PSP, DS, PC, Wii), I have never pirated a single game. I can afford to buy games now, not many, but its enough not to pirate.
" @dustbunny said:I was actually trying to point out how stupid all those "I'd pay all of them" people sounded. It's a simple question, what companies would you support even though you have access to free games. No need to get on your high horse." All of them. If someone gave me a used copy of a game as a gift I would still send a check to the publisher. I'm no pirate/douchebag "Seriously? Lol. I respect your morals, but that's just a bit too much. "
That being said, I would probably support Double Fine, because I really liked Psychonauts.
All of them, but if I was forced to pirate all games except from 3 certain publishers, they would be Valve, Blizzard, and BioWare.
