Holy fucking shit it's like talking to a brick wall. These people are seemingly incapable of understanding who "pirates" and why they "pirate". I keep trying to explain that if I were to make a game, I wouldn't give a damn if people pirate because I just want people to enjoy the game. If people can afford it, cool, share among your friends!

I swear to god these nerds can't understand the corpo isn't "losing revenue" when someone pirates. They either weren't going to buy the game anyway or someone is just trying it out...

These people are just corpo bootlickers catgirl-disgust

that's the post screm-a aaaah

Tell them it’s no different than an AI learning from artists. After all, ideas are meant to be shared, right?
