    Awe as a dev this kind of bums me out a little. I wonder that they used for DRM. Those sales go directly to the devs in way of raises and retention.

    Granted this is not EA where i worked, but if you enjoy the game, i encourage you to buy it.

    Also NOTE: I DO NOT SUPPORT DRM, just the pay checks of the devs as i was one for quite some time.

      Totally agree on the paycheck. However we need to stop acting like piracy is bad only. Buy the things you really enjoy and support the creator(s).

      Back in the days a friend suggested i buy Skyrim and i was like: “Uuh not sure if i want to spend that kind of money on a 2yo game”. But since he was quite a fan, i pirated it. Soon after I bought the LE version and today it is still my most played game.

      NGL: i also pirated many things of which i never bought the original version. But because of the bay i also bought some things i most likely wouldn’t have without.

        I don’t think piracy is bad lol i do think mega corporate publishers have bad practices for sure. Like cool, the one i worked for is publicly traded. Awesome. Every action is greed motivated. I hate that.

        Every time i loose hope in games i just play undertale and ignore the world. >.>

        I’ve thought about this. I think that happened was because of timelines, they released a super early build, fuckin producers.

        It’s not the worst thing for an early access game to be cracked, honestly. If the game is has more eyes, that’s great. I am curious about what is out now however.

        I am also curious about if the cracked version can be updated with content once the game goes live. Like i have no idea when that is or if it has already happened.
