I don’t really support piracy, but I agree with this take. As a younger/person student with no income pirating was often the only way I could access games (or try them out to see if they were good. Most weren’t worth buying). I would jump through all the annoying and super time-consuming hoops to…👇
To all the people saying not to pirate indie games, I quote a post by Hakita of ULTRAKILL fame, where he says that not having the means should not stop you from experiencing art, be it movies, music or videogames.

Briefly popped back onto “x” to tell Elon Musk he’s an idiot & wow, the funk of stupidity has reached epic levels. Like, as if aggressive ignorance had an odor. Was just seeping out of every post & oozing between every comment. 🤢 Less sense, more agro-insecure & smellier than a Jr High gym locker.

I think there should be a fake info item put into the front matter of any ghost written book kinda like how directors who don’t want to be associated with a movie use a fake name. Like right between the ISBN and Library of Congress number put “Font wrapped in Seratte Light.”
A lot of fiction ‘written’ by celebrities is actually ghost written, often with no acknowledgement of the real writer on the cover (or in interviews). A lot of authors are pissed off by this but don’t call it out because of potential ramifications. 1/2
