As a PC gamer, I only pirate games I don't know whether I'm going to like or not. And even then, most of the time I'll probably end up buying the game later if it's available on Steam or GoG if I actually like the game, so I can support the devs. I personally don't have the time to buy a game on Steam, play for less than 2 hours to find out whether I like it, and get a refund if I don't.
