Damn right I would if it means another clear month!
On-topic - if something is not readily available anymore, it means the devs/publisher have made the revenue they wanted, and seeing how more and more stuff is becoming digital-only, pirating is the only choice left.
Now, when we're talking what is/was physically available on the 2nd hand market - same deal really. People obsessing with owning that Pokemon Blue cart with that annoying-ass CR battery that always dies in a few years over having your rom and save on pc, phone, and about any other system you own just outright outweighs having to get AAs and a GBC/A to play in broad daylight.
