It is in our human nature that we like to find the easiest solution. Come on man?!? Pay 60 dollars for a game or get it free?! The answer is obvious do not deny it :-) lol

The way I see it, the homebrew sections are there to develop and report exploits and software, chitchat about said things, and help those who have questions. Piracy, non-piracy, whatever. I find it fun adding functionality and doing neat things, be that piracy or not. Having a wide variety of voices from all sides in regards to piracy is secondary to stuff actually being developed, but it does tend to be somewhat balancing and inclusive.

I am a pirate. I've pirated far more games than I own. I am also one of those anti-pirates - I believe and tell people it is better to own the game than pirate it, as the money helps support the devs (at least until it goes abandonware) and the industry. That's why I own a lot of games. 205 games on Steam and some 150+ games across all consoles I own (i.e. not Xbox One).
I also like extra functionality, which is why I've hacked every console except PS4. Some are used for piracy (PS3, Wii, DS, PSP). Some are used for homebrew (Wii, PSP). Some are collecting dust because I don't want to throw away memories of my childhood (NES to Gamecube and everything inbetween).

I mostly dwell in the PC section because I like to give advice on PCs, and because most games provide a better experience on PC. Nice to meet you.

I can think of a few of the top of my head, but there are more.

Custom themes.

Bypassing region locking.

ROM hacking. Dumping, disassembling, editing, reassembling, and running games you already own.

That sums up my reasons for homebrew.

Throw in save editing and thats everything.

    Some shovel ware with low ratings you might enjoy more than the ratings would sugest
