    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
