Sometimes it’s just about ease of access. I’m happy to pay for games but it’s often harder to track down legal copies of retro or delisted games than it is to find a torrent.
And a number of the files you find on torrent sites were uploaded by someone who bought the content legally. Torrenting is just peer-to-peer file sharing, someone has to acquire the first copy somehow
Agreed, the paper-like screen is non-negotiable for me.
