Sorry, but not a single point you made was directed at my subject. I don't disagree with your view as a generic concept of products However, this genre of games/novels/whatever uses this methodology of production. It is not comparable to the items you mentioned. Apples versus oranges did not prove your point. Further, your comments do not direct themselves to 'pirating'. The concept that those that pirate something (Take without payment) are absolved of this because it is not 'your concept' of a finished product. This is not a dishwasher being purchased. The genre does not disguise how it is produced. Therefore, it is not a surprise and purchases are made with this knowledge. You may not like it but it is what it is. Finally, my reference was to a poster who was insulting others as if he were above reproach. The point is still one of choice. your choice, his choice, anyone's choice. Just because you don't like it does not make that person less or wrong, it is just a different choice. He seems to look down on those that he disagrees with.Let me disagree with you, this product is clearly not ready and we are not pirating a complete game, but a beta version, which is already 5th year in development, where they simply add 1-2 steps in 6 months, but at the same time patrons provide support as for an AAA game (6 months at 5 euros (tier2) each, because tier1 patrons get nothing). To give an example, what I mean is, it's as if CAPCOM, instead of the promised release, Resident Evil: Village released a demo at full cost and released minor updates every 6 months, asking for this every time as for the full cost of the game and we would pirate it every time so as not to overpay. Right now pre-order God of War or STALKER 2 cost about 30 eur. That is, instead of the promised game, you get a 15 minute update with 900+ renders (80% of the dialoge) and as many as 27 pages of MS Word, no animations, no music, no gallery, no arts, no advanced settings, no free roam, no mini-games, no quests, we get only teasing as always. If we take into account the November update v. 0.150, this is 12 PD out of 30 (40%), but for the last 2 years 2 updates have been released per year, 1/3 of the PD each. At this rate, it will take him about 27 years to develop the remaining 18 days unless he changes his speed.
P.S. I apologize for any mistakes in the text or the use of incorrect wording my English is not as good as I would like so I using a google translator.
(Note this is in a realm of choices not violating laws. If a choice were criminal then that person, to quote the Knight, 'chose poorly'.)
