I don’t care if it is good or bad.
These clown companies either provide me with service how I like it or take it for free.
Days of buying shit to “support the Dev” bullshit is over.
Devs don’t even get the money haha
Some fat boomer fuck collect the rent on their labour 90% of the time.
Don’t feed a parasite!
At least for games, I check how big is the dev team, anything bigger than 30 then pirate Then I check if owner of the development studio is public company, if yes then pirate Then I check if owner owns more than one development studio, if yes then pirate Then I check how many games studio has released, if more than 10, pirate Then I check how many copies have been sold on steam, more than 1m, pirate
If a game dev team fails all above checks, I will still pirate first, but if i enjoy pirated copy, I’ll buy the game to support the dev.
Mostly same here, save for legit indie companies. I’m still going to buy haunted chocolater, silksong, and arcane (by randy) when they come out. Maybe hades 2 as well but I’ll have to look into the question of “are they indie?” beforehand. Alot of people claimed that helldivers was indie when I’d argue it really isn’t
Piracy was the only way people could play the greatest video games ever made for a long time: Robotron 2084 and System Shock 2.
And still is, it shouldn’t be this way. Stop Killing Games really needs to take off.
TRUXTON
EDF EDF EDF
Ahh the memories
System Shock 2
Need a remake of this waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than System Shock 1.
Actively being worked on by Nightdive, right now
Please have co-op, please have co-op, please have co-op.
Fun Fact: I started “archiving” games off of BBS back in the intel 386. By the early 2000’s I had hundreds of games and apps going back to Zork and other very early PC, backed up in hard drives, CDs, and Zip Drives. I have no doubt that I might have had one of very few copies in existence of some games.
Sad Fact: They all went missing after one of our moves. All I have left are a small stack of zip drives and no zip drive to read them with.
The point is that, had it not been for a moving mishap, I would have copies of long lost games to share with the world, all thanks to piracy.
