Personal rule has always been I don’t give a fuck about major corps profits.

However, if I pirate a game I like, I pay for it. Simple as. Support devs, especially indie.

Same way I do it. If I enjoy Stray or Winrar enough or long enough, I always[1] buy. Even bought a Sylenth1.

[1] Fuck yearly repackaged sports games, Adobe etc.

Lol fuck winrar. 7z is better, free and open source.

[-] iDunnoBro@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 years ago

I agree 100% 7zip is the shit. Just the old "buy Winrar" joke, ya know?

Theres like a RarReg Key floating around in the internet which activates WinRar forever.

Ah I'd consider it if I weren't using NanaZip (win) and 7z(Linux)

It took me 8 years to finally buy a Total Commander license

Now my window has my name, easy to dox myself lol

With demos making a comeback I see pirating of games becoming even less of a 'problem'.

[-] Evoke3626@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah man agreed, demos got me to buy quite a lot of games recently. Metal: Hellsinger, new system shock, just to name a couple examples

I bought Terraria and Geometry Dash just to support the devs. Also some Valve games as a reward to them for pouring so much effort into the Linux ecosystem and contributing all their improvements back to it.
