Personal rule has always been I don’t give a fuck about major corps profits.
However, if I pirate a game I like, I pay for it. Simple as. Support devs, especially indie.
Same way I do it. If I enjoy Stray or Winrar enough or long enough, I always[1] buy. Even bought a Sylenth1.
[1] Fuck yearly repackaged sports games, Adobe etc.
Lol fuck winrar. 7z is better, free and open source.
I agree 100% 7zip is the shit. Just the old "buy Winrar" joke, ya know?
Theres like a RarReg Key floating around in the internet which activates WinRar forever.
Ah I'd consider it if I weren't using NanaZip (win) and 7z(Linux)
It took me 8 years to finally buy a Total Commander license
Now my window has my name, easy to dox myself lol
With demos making a comeback I see pirating of games becoming even less of a 'problem'.
Yeah man agreed, demos got me to buy quite a lot of games recently. Metal: Hellsinger, new system shock, just to name a couple examples
I bought Terraria and Geometry Dash just to support the devs. Also some Valve games as a reward to them for pouring so much effort into the Linux ecosystem and contributing all their improvements back to it.
