If you worry about piracy in 2025 then you fail to understand some relative simple concepts. I flat out told them they suck at business. Even if you do not like the tone of voice or feel offended, defuse the situation and end with a happy smile. Instead they start ranting about flaming and ban you from discord. I have never been treated so disgustingly by someone or a business I gave money too.
What is the result? Here I am burning the devs on this forum because they are to autistic to run a business and engage with customers in a level headed way.
You sound like an entitled brat to me, sorry, bud. No one is forcing you to pay and being a paying customer doesn't entitle you to be excluded from consequences of how you talk to people. Go to restaurant, tell them they suck and you won't be treated nicely either.
Sure, I may agree with some things say. Their business approach may not be the best, but there is a difference between constructive criticism and being an asshole. If you're an asshole, you get butt kicked. If you treat people poorly, they won't bent to you at every corner, they will punch you in the face. No matter how right or wrong you are.
They put time and energy into the game. You put time and energy into being a dick. So they decided it is better to say bye bye to you. And it is irrelevant if they suck at business or not. It's about simple human decency these days kids lack massively.
Don't like something? Don't put your money in it. No one is forcing you to. Period.
Just because you have the right to have an opinion doesn't mean to you have to voice it every time and everywhere. Grow up.
