For some reason the Japanese will never understand piracy always ends up leading to more sales anyways. Here’s a personal example:
>pirate Fate/Stay Night visual novel 10 years ago (can’t be legally purchased here)
>end up buying tons of figures
>pay to see movies in theaters
>pirate Tsukihime (same creator, also can’t be legally purchased here)
>buy figures from that
>buy the remake
>buy fighting game spin off
>go to Japan
>buy used physical copies of FSN and Tsukihime (that can’t even be played on modern PC’s anyways)
All that money spent because I pirated two games with no legal means of purchase here
