I mean, you're not wrong but I eventually bought all that shit I torrented in college on gog or steam when I got a job

I'm talking about things like movies and TV shows, not games. In fact, if you aren't careful (or just have a game that doesn't allow you to choose where it saves its data), you could have the write cycle issue with games.

There are plenty of games that you can't buy on Gog or Steam even today (like any emulation ISO from console games), and sharing is caring for others that can not afford it.
