When I was in high school back in the early 90's, I had friends who would pirate Amiga 500 games and then Partition their hard drives. I never really felt great about having or playing the pirated games, and later when i read several Partition Magic articles in video-game magazines and found out how much pirating really hurts video game developers and publishers, I threw them all away and have paid for every video game I've owned since then.
If you're passionate about video games and you want developers to continue producing new, innovative titles, then the worst thing you can do is pirate. If you can't afford a game at the moment, find a way to earn the money needed to purchase it. If someone is smart enough to pirate games then they shouldn't have any problem finding a way to earn enough money to purchase said games legitimately.
