I've never played Hogwarts Legacy, because ew. But if I met one person who played the game after getting it for free on Epic, and one person who played the game after pirating it, I would respect the pirate more. I've heard rumours that when you claim a free game on Epic, the devs get a payout from Tim. So I didn't claim it the two times it was free, and I respect someone more if they never give Rowling a single penny.
