I agree, and I've said this in several threads. People like ICSTOR and Dark Silver absolutely hate this site, because we're stealing their stuff. They either don't realize, or ignore, that the lion's share of their patrons come from here. People see the games here, try them, like them, and become patrons.
Instead of focusing on how much they would gain by having a good presence here, they choose to focus on the thieves stealing their work. Instead of seeing the piracy as lost opportunity cost, they should look at it as marketing. It's not like I'm going to pay for BB if I can't pirate it any more, so he's losing nothing by me pirating it. But I'd imagine the work I did (and published here) to get it running on a Mac might have added a few patrons to him. And if it didn't, that work translated over to Man of the House, and I'm damn sure my help added some more $ to Faerin.
