I am part of this since the late 80s, when we still bought hundreds of floppy disks to get our "free" games. But even on the Amiga I bought plenty of games. These days I buy most of my stuff, if possible DRM free (I got ~7TB of GOG installer backups), so I don't have to bother with cracks anymore, only for my CDs and DVDs, since the copy protection won't work anymore in many cases. There's no need for Torrent, Mule & Co. anymore. And I got over 150 games as gifts from Epic anyway

If this game ever makes it to GOG or itch.io, I'll buy it as well.
i also have around 3 tb of actual gog games all purchased and while i agree for the most part most cracks nowadays are clean to the point that shitty companies like ubisoft uses them to patch their games there is no background drm making your game runs shitter there is no launchers or need to be connected there is no tracking and sending data "to make the game better"
i won't in a million years buy a bad game like mass effect andromada buy a bad pc port like arkham knight or a game from a company with political agenda and woke garbage that shits on their fan base for it like blizzard or dice or companies that are anti gamers and pro cooperation like epic (also have all of their free games) and i will still play their shitty games if possible i won't pay for them tho and if my favortie company went down for it then good luck not being pieces of shit next time
my biggest two problem with epic is their attitude toward gamers and the lack of locate my game feature in their launcher
but this forum is not the place to discuss this
my point is
don't be entitled brat demanding shit you don't pay for or wasn't promised and be understanding (i think that's alot to ask from a horny bunch)
people can still enjoy bad shit
and don't be here and also think somehow you have the higher moral ground calling people hypocritical
just because you paid the creator (get a real hobby) and they didn't and was asking when the update going to drop when that said creator (get a real job if this is your only source of income) said it would be here a month ago or better The Tyrant not even a post for a year
you don't have to take their advice or mine
