I am reporting this content for copyright infringement. It's messed up to do this to indie developers. Save it for the AAA studios that can afford it. If you support Benjamin's work, buy his game, don't pirate it.
As stated, I don't care about pirating AAA studio games. That doesn't hurt their pockets, and in many cases, it promotes their game. I care about pirating small indie developer's games. Most people who pirate indie games most likely wont pay for them, so in my opinion, they shouldn't be able to play them. Aside from that, I have supported Heartbeast for years, and to see his first actual release being pirated makes me aggravated. The people who run this site are making money off of his game, technically, which I would rather see go to a developer that I strongly support.
Sabastian are you a retard or something? First of all, you aren't going to stop it from happening. Welcome to the world of 0's and 1's. Awareness of a developer is helped by torrents as is their reputation. There are plenty of developers' games that you would never hear of if it weren't popular or cared to try. You're missing the point. A lot of these games also don't have demos and people haven't a clue what they're like or are in permanent early access with terrible updates / none at all. Why did you comment specifically on this game? Because the developer is still trying to make money? Your hypocrisy for AAA games is pretty pathetic. You realize some companies are completely laid off due to publishers not getting good results? Why are AAA companies exempt from your ire? Because they make more money? "More" is subjective. And more than finally, fuck off. I download some of these games and rarely finish them. I get bored. Am I the exception to the rule? Sure, but there are many rules. Which ones are important and why? Your armchair analysis is as valid as mine. Don't respond.
You are exactly the type of person I am talking about. Call me a hypocrite, a retard, or whatever you want.. but that doesn't change my stance. The fact that you recognise that your opinion is just as valid as mine begs me to ask, why did you bother to respond? To make yourself feel better about not being able to afford to buy a $5 game? It's laughable how you try to justify being too poor to support a small indie developer. I really hope that when you try to make money one day that people pass by whatever shitty business idea you come up with or are a part of, because that's what you are doing. Idiot.
Going to a pirate site to slap people on the wrist is equally dumb. Don't expect to change a community that revolves around the very practice to follow you with your hasty resort to baseless insults. You're free to call all of us idiots, but your words hold as much weight as the next guy. The price of the game isn't the issue here. Many of us are simply tired of having to gamble with unfamiliar titles simply because we have the money. Personally, I have the stable income to afford any triple A game at any point of the month, but I want to know what I get before I buy them. There's just no incentive to give people money first now, and I want to know who I'm supporting.
Once again, another useless excuse for having not enough money to justify expecting free things. It's called being entitled. I hear the "There's no demo! WAHHHH!" excuse more than anything. Go watch a gameplay video if it really bothers you that bad. I didn't call everyone an idiot, I called "nanithefuck" an idiot. However, you sound just as idiotic as him. So kudos.
You're missing everyone's point, but calling them the idiots. Dude gtfo. You sit here and just back indie developers, but not big companies...Not every person that works at the big companies makes a lot of money. That's also beside the point. It doesn't make someone any less worthy of receiving money for their hard work, just because they have more $. Saying crap like that makes your rant and opinion worthless. If you are against piracy, then be against it for everyone, not just Indie developers, otherwise stfu. Running your mouth in here like a damn fool.
I'm not against piracy, obviously.. You clearly didn't read anything other than the word "idiot". I will reiterate my point, once again, since you're too brain-dead to grasp it. DON'T BE A CHEAP FUCK. BUY BENJAMIN'S GAME IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IT. I made sure it was all in caps because it seems that your eyesight is going bad.
