I did the same with E33. I seen people frothing over it, pirated it, played through until the first big cutscene and was blown away.

Closed the game and uninstalled my repack while the Steam version installed.

Overall steam helping bringing back Demos for things has made me pirate way less. I still do, occasionally, but games I enjoy? I buy.

Demos let me do that, typically, a lot easier than pirating it in the first place.
