Personal experience (sample size: 1), a lost sale when I was age 16 made a true believer out of me for some developers, so at 35 I buy their games no question day 1.

A lot can change in 19 years, but I've gone back and bought most every game I pirated on steam now that the income isn't as scarce.



For myself, I also pay for my creative consumer stuff (streaming and art).

It's a bit dispiriting, to be sneered at, for it.


Who are these developers making reliably good games over 20 years?

Lemmings was a great game, but that isn't informative as to Grand Theft Auto, which isn't.


FromSoft, potentially. Even if you only start counting years at Demon's Souls (2009), that still gets them to 15 years.
