Ultrakill dev says it's fine to pirate his game if you don't have money to spare: 'Culture shouldn't exist only for those who can afford it' (www.pcgamer.com)

Can you even imagine being this based?

I need to check this game out

It’s an amazing game and addicting once you get into it. If you think Quake and Devil May Cry sounds like a fun combo, this is the game.

Just be aware the game isn’t finished yet. The last few levels are missing.

Honestly there's so much content it could be released as a full game as is and I would not be disappointed

[–] magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I thought the game was good value when there was only Act 1, and now the game is more than double that.

In all honesty, it's a great game and it's not that expensive. There's currently even a deal in the Humble Store: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/ultrakill/info/

And in case you liked it, Turbo Overkill is similar and also great.

I just bought it based on this alone. Early-access and FPS games aren't typically my thing, but I like the cut of this person's jib.

That's some class right there. ✨

The use of class as a discriptor is ironic lmao

This does not seem like my kind of thing, but by golly I respect that something fierce. Buying a copy just to support the dev.

plot twist: joke's on you, it's just viral marketing

It'd be nice to live in a utopia where everyone who could afford to, paid for products they could just take, but let's be honest, that is not reality. I respect the devs' willingness to donate their work nonetheless.

Of course this works well enough in some places. I've been to amazing communities in Europe where they have "honesty shops" where you just take what you need and leave some cash behind and the owner just comes by to collect and restock once a day.

Not that anyone wants them, but I've had the same policy about my books. They got "leaked" by a friend that put them in his soulseek folder. Doesn't bother me at all
