I pirate AAA, I buy indie.

That garbage is rarely even worth pirating anymore.

Hey, at least the indie games are still good and cheap.

LOL. Yeah it's really more like:

I read gaming critics shit on AAA, I buy indie.

I've come to a point where I don't even pirate AAA, just buy indie or anything made by Fromsoft and any team that still presents any semblance of passion for their work.

Some AAA games are worth buying. Some indie games are pure garbage. It's a mixed bag. I rarely pirate and most of the time its because shitty DRM or to try expensive game before buying.
