Until we are in a post job society, I see nothing wrong with wanting to support those who make your life happier, even if that requires giving some to those who make your life worse. Nuance exists, and its on each if us to draw our own lines on where we wont budge. I was merely giving an option to someone they might not have thought of. For instance, I'm done giving Nintendo money. Unicorn Overlord is an awesome game however, so even though I dont have modern xbox, and even though I'm playing Unicorn Overlord on a yuzu emulator. Eventually I'm going to by the Series S version of the game if it doesnt get ported to steam, even though Microsoft can go fuck itself (It can just fuck itself less than Nintendo or Sony)

I'll buy games. the thing is: I won't stop myself from enjoying it just because they don't want my money.

Oh, yeah, thats perfectly fair. I'm already playing Unicorn Overlord even though they didnt release on PC, and it was pretty much the same train of thought you just expressed there why I jumped straight into piracy. If I hadnt enjoyed the game as much as I'm currently enjoying it, I wouldnt even have gotten to the step of figuring out which megacorp I despise giving money to the least in order to shunt some of that change to the developers

I'm a little stricter. I do not buy shit with unacceptable DRM.

Which is honestly a fair stance to take ngl

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I will, however, still play it if I can pirate.
