Because I don't pirate games to get a DRM free copy, I pirate games to try them out. GOG offering DRM free games doesn't change any aspect of my piracy what-so-ever.

Game comes out on GOG that I want? Cool, time to pirate it, play it, and make sure it A) runs correctly on my PC, and B) make sure the game isn't flame-broiled arse. If it's good and I enjoy it, then I will buy a copy and not a minute before.

DRM free =/= good. DRM free = DRM free.

I'm sure they do, amazingly my answer somehow doesn't change. Fancy that.

Edit: Downvotes mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer and this is a piracy community. Take that anti-pirate shite back to Reddit to the old community that does nothing but shit on things and post memes. We've never had a need to justify piracy and trying to shame people for it is some little-dick-bootlicker energy.
