Just as a reminder, discussing piracy is one thing but if anyone starts including information on how to commit piracy, this thread will be cleaned and locked. Be mindful to stay on topic dont derail the thread with flame bait.

I stopped pirating long ago. I felt that there was no real reason to these days. 

 

The only exception? When finding a legitimate copy is literally impossible, and even then, it's rare since I keep my legitimate copies. 

 

I dislike piracy, but I dislike stuff like G2A even more. 

Good luck finding something legit for a fair price when at your region. LONG LONG RANT HERE ...

This is especially true for Turkey.

Since you have the legitimate copy in the first place and it isn't working. I'd say it's up to you. Nothing wrong in morality sense to me, since you have a legitimate copy in the first place. If you're sharing the copy, then that's a different story.

 

I will only caution you to be careful of downloading files; your PC can be easily be infected.

I only pirated stuff I had bought anyway because

 

1) sometimes pirated copy is easier to mod (Mass Effect 3 comes to mind)

2) Origin makes it really hard for me to enjoy some content with that language locked bullshit. For those of you who don't know - if you are in a non-English speaking country then no matter what, if the game you buy has been translated, you can only get the translated copy; if you are lucky, it's still English audio with your native subtitles, if not then it's fully dubbed and often with tragic results.
