    then pirate as a backup

    Lol no. If im pirating, going through the trouble and risk, im not paying shit.

    excuses

    If they were in a city im likely to be in in the next few years id drop a bucket of cash and/or drugs on their doorstep. They aren’t.

    I don’t really need an excuse. I was just sort of looking for options and only found the same old shit.

      Great. And if everyone follows your lead we don’t get any good games being made. We live in a capitalist society. People don’t just get to make art for fun. They need to be able to eat.

      Bullshit this isn’t an excuse. You’re creating a scenario that you knew wasn’t going to happen just so you can make a show that actually you do support developers. No. We all know you’re lying. You were always going to pirate it and not pay a thing. You just want to be treated like you weren’t, which you aren’t going to get. You’re a selfish greedy asshole. If you don’t have the money, fine. It sounds like you do, you just want to make up reasons to not give it to people making things you enjoy. You want to benefit from other people spending their money but not doing so yourself.

        You’re acting like paying for things always, or even usually supports creators. It does not.

        bullshit

        I spend a lot of time in LA, and do this for movies. Kinda. Not as much as i should, and i try not to be creepy about it.

        Part of it is just remembering to tip my server when dining out, to support actors.

        you just want an excuse

        Why the fuck would i need or want an excuse?

          Bullshit. I did not. However, it does if they’re indie.

          Good. At least you’re admitting it’s all just an excuse that you don’t even follow through on.

          Why the fuck would i need or want an excuse?

          To act like you aren’t just a leach. Don’t give an excuse if you don’t need one. You clearly felt the need to give one.

            to act like you aren’t just a leech

            This would be such a burn if society were allowed to exist. Isn’t though. I’m proud of not contributing to that shit. I have never paid any tax but sales tax and e-waste recycling tax in my life.

            Not counting that time i bought all those lottery tickets (long story, not stupid in the ways you would assume)

            admit

            No i was saying i pay them at the job where they make rent. Because art rarely pays the bills. I apologize for the subtlety.

            don’t give an excuse

            I genuinely wanted to give them a thing. Ideally something more valuable that you can’t get with just money. I’m not going to worry overmuch about not.
