Does Piracy make you belittle, and underappreciate games?

Alright, i've wonder how people felt about this for a while...It's like this. Basically, I used to actually BUY games for psx, and i'd play the shit outta them (back in the StoneAge ;))..Then, I found out about chips, and plugmod, and shit..So, I got a good bit of games, but I pretty much played all of those...
Then, I got a ps2, and had a chip put in it....Before I know it, I had WAY to many games to play!!! Then, I started getting hell of a lot of games(that was about 2 hundred back then...got nearly 4 now), and I started to not appreciate them more. GOOD games like Xenosaga, Rachet & clank, Red Faction 1 & 2, Max Payne, Onimusha 2, Silent Hill 2, Tenchu, Tony Hawk 4, SOCUM.......Those are all good games that I started playing, and just quit...Not cuz they weren't good, but just have to many
games, and go to another one...
Sometimes i even CHEAT on games to just finish the bastards so I can see the ending :(...(nobody got enough time to beat all of these games)..

There hasn't been a whole lot of games that I've actually beaten fair and square lately unless there really short..Last looooooong game I beat w/o cheating was Kingdom hearts (wasn't that long), and I beat FFX, but I did cheat on 1 boss ;)....Hack I cheated on the last boss (he was a bastard though..Killing me in 1 shot isn't fair ;))

Anyways, back to my question...

Do you think having piracy, and having so many games that you don't appreciate them as much as you should?

yes, when my games are original, I play them a lot unless they get boring, but when they are copies, I play them for a while and they go to the dust can, why? dunno really, its just the way it is...

You only feel like you appreciate games you pay for because you shell out $50 for them, and you subconciously want to get your moneys worth out of them.

I only have PS2 originals and I appreciate them much more than I would if I had downloaded them and burnt them to a CD myself.

It's too easy to get swamped with games when you are not paying (or very little) for them and many good games don't get the attention they deserve as you always want to at least try the latest AAA title and that may mean leaving the one you downloaded yesterday to gather dust.

Yea, cheating online is very lame! Cheating by yourself is fine, but please don't cheat other people....

I think I just collect games...I haven't played probaly 95% of my games over like 2 minutes...Just to see if they worked, and throw em in my cd cabinet....Ah well...Guess if I ever did want to play em, they are there.
