Dang you guys. I mean look, I'm gonna download the game too, so I'm not trying to take the moral high ground here. But can we give the dev like, a day... HALF a day... before the game is posted here? Hell's bells, I'm not a game dev but it's gotta be demoralizing to see it posted to the pirate site 5 milliseconds after the top tier patron release lol.
With all due respect but oh my god what is the point of this comment? This is like a whole new level of hypocrisy mixed with some sort of weird white-knightism and sanctimoniousness. This whole comment basically translates to:
"I am soooo pressing that download button, and while doing that let me type this weird line of accusation/criticism to the users on the exact same site that I have been using to pirate games, express my (utterly pointless) sympathy for the dev to show that I am morally superior, and hell yeah I am playing this update today woohooo."
Maybe use your brain and think if there is any substantial, actual, real difference, if the game get leaked 5 mins or half a day (like you suggested) after the demon lord release? It is still a leak at the highest tier at the end of the day. The leak a day earlier or later won't change the fact that the game is still leaked. It wont change the fact that we are on a pirate site playing a pirated version of the game.
And what do you mean when you say "can
WE give the dev like, a day", when none of us except the first leaker have any actual sort of influence as to when the game will get leaked? It's not like the users here collectively decided on a timestamp and issue an ultimatum to the leaker that he has to obey. It is entirely up to the will and decision of the first leaker whether or not and when they want to leak it.
If you are really so conscient about the whole leak situation then man up and pause your download and tell everyone that you will wait for the public release. Then you may still have some respect from me. Otherwise no need to try and guilt everyone here to make yourself feel better.
