i don't really understand the moralizing about pirating indie games. like, piracy is not stealing. i was not going to buy it. i am more likely to buy a game after pirating it bc i realized i liked it.
I'm pretty sure its small business brainworms
ah yea that makes sense
especially since this argument is usually used for indie games that did quite well or had high budgets. i dont think the creator of stardew valley is gonna miss my $10 that much.
it's small business cult shit
if i didn't pirate whatever i wasn't going to pay for it either, there's too much other stuff to do for free
