Indie solo video game dev here.

I am okay with gamers "requisitioning" games if they truly can't afford it. While it is my livelihood, it's also my attempt at art and I want people to enjoy it. I even plan on releasing a safe cracked copy for the next game.

If you pirate a game, there are ways to help support us starving devs if you like the game.

  1. Spread the word far and wide that you like the game. A little effort on your part can save us marketing budget and trigger new sales.

  2. In the future if you have the financial ability, buy a legit key on sale. Even at 75%+ discount it helps.

But please don't cost us additional money. It costs time and money to process chargebacks triggered by the key resellers selling keys procurred with stolen credit cards.

The Gamestop NFT marketplace will hopefully allow creators like you to release games and collect a royalty for each re-sale

The Gamestop marketplace has been operational for a while. Not sure what you're on about...
