Ehh. Tell them to make a game that is actually worth $60 and I'll consider it.

Not to mention all of the old games they won't re-release on purpose because emulators are "stealing."

Why the downvotes, he's got a point. Big mega corps that release $70 games while abandoning the old games are the most moral argument you can make for piracy.

Is that relevant to my comment? I said support the creators directly, not the corporations and explained with examples. That reply was suspicious and arrogant asf if you ask me. I never said spend 60$ for the game, I said support the creators directly, even through smaller amounts. Even a euro from a person who can is enough. You cracked the game, you liked it, why not do that bare minimum if you legit have that money + a lot more?

I guess that's fair.
