For games if there is no way of buying it new and supporting the developers I’ll just download a ROM. It makes absolutely no difference to the developer or publisher whether I buy it used or pirate it. They aren’t getting any of the money either way.
Or if it’s a PC game and I’m not sure it will run on my system I’ll pirate it and if it runs they get my money.
As for movies and TV if it’s available to buy on physical on DVD, Blu Ray, 4K Blu Ray I’ll buy it. But if it’s only streaming or on VOD I’ll pirate it. There’s been too many cases of purchased content being removed from peoples accounts.
Basically if they want my money it needs to be available to buy brand new in a way that won’t just disappear one day.
Seems a bit short sighted. There are some games, movies and TV shows that simply don’t exist to buy legally or even second hand.
Torrenting is the only way in some instances to preserve content.
