You wouldn't Pirate a Pirate game would you? 😉

Priced the poors away from having bread.

Now time to price the poors away from circuses.

That's the spirit

I stopped pirating for many years once I had a decent steady income. One nice thing about it was I realized I didn't have to worry about viruses / trojans / keyloggers anymore. But now I'm poor again and I've taken up pirating again. But now instead of running naked I use SandBoxie which so far has worked out pretty well.

I fully support the rights of people who absolutely must buy the game on the first day of release for full price in order to subsidise a nice discount for me when I will buy it a year later for $30 (or less).

Games that flop often get heavier discounts later down the line. Digital copies have no cost to create, so the only cost is the opportunity cost of a bigger sale.
