Game cracks have their own flaws, especially when you're running them through an emulator.

If I'm going to spend the time to make a game properly payable, I'm not going to give up on it and download a fresh new copy after the first few hours of play, even if I do like it.

I got Wrath of the Righteous for $4. I'm not going to pirate it, demo it, decide i like it, re-download the game, and restart the campaign over a game selling for loose change. I'll just take my chances.

Neither am I going to restart Cyberpunk after two hours of tinkering with settings and another fifteen hours of gameplay just to send a company with over $1B in revenue my fist full of quarters.
