    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.

        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
