Bahahah. Guilt.
Let me tell you a little something about how the majority of games are developed and where the profits go. 80% of the time, Graphic designers, Coders, or sometimes whole development teams are being payed in advance to work on a game by a parent company (the way that Microsoft uses Rare, ect). The smaller development team does all the work based on outlines set by the parent company, they are payed off, the parent company will put a few finishing touches on it and release it. Unless a company is operating on it's own, Profits are more likely to be in the hands of already wealthy Executives of the parent company.
Now,there are some Development teams who work independently and will split the money between coders and designers and texture mappers ect ect ect, but they are few and far between,and they are usually bought out by a larger company anyways if they make even 1 decent game or have ideas for 1 profitable franchise. You would be surprised how cheap a development company will sell it's soul for.
In closing, fuck buying games. I don't feel like making the rich any richer, or the poor (me) any poorer. Plus the developers should just be happy people want to play their game enough that they are willing to break the law. That fucking says something.
now stop being such a little bitch.
