DPC is not an illustrator, he doesn't sell renders, he is a developer of a game.We're pirating his game. I'm cool with that. He finds out someone is feeding his special renders to the pirate community and cuts them off. I'm cool with that too (sorry Sombo). People start complaining that he is a cunt for defending his IP. I'm not cool with that.
He has every right to defend his IP. We have no rights in this situation. It doesn't matter if his actions make no difference to the big picture. I'm not throwing anyone under any bus. I'm just stating what is objectively true.
Also, I have no loyalties to DPC or this site. This is just a site that I use to pirate DPC's shit. I'm just not big into pretending it's OK for me to pirate shit. I just pirate the shit anyway.
DPC isn't defending his game (his IP), he's defending the idea that his renders are exclusive intellectual property (they're not exclusive in any way, they're not numbered, they're not encrypted), he's defending the illusion he sells (which I think he thinks he sells because patreons don't do it for that obviously) to patreons.
And evidently he has so many of them that cutting one of them from 40$ is not a problem, despite his earnings being so low (70 per hour would be low?).
previews are fun because they allow us to make some assumptions and talk about nothing, but i'm happy for the 40$ that SomboSteel saves
