My issue with pirate sites is the entitlement members develop from getting something that another person worked on for free (repeatedly, not just once). Even real-life pirates had to work for what they stole. Even leaches have to work to suck the blood out of it's host. In both cases, it's a survival instinct driving both, so what do we call ourselves if we don't fit that criteria? I know, but won't say it.
The greed and blatant callousness here is sickening.
There are good members here, just not as many as the...
Entitlement sucks & it's an attitude I try to steer far away from. And it's not like I don't appreciate those backers who leak the game.
I always do.
Yet for every time I or someone may say "don't be greedy", three or more people will say "we need a hero" with the entitlement.
Basically never-ending whack a mole situation where the player loses every time.
With it just happening regardless (given it won't bring any positive changes and will still happen) I just find it... pointless.
And yes, that's obviously pessimism on my end, but when you see it happen to pretty much almost every (if not every single) game thread of this site again, again, and again, well at some point one becomes numb to it happening despite myself always not approving of such actions...
In the end, what truly matters is I myself not becoming entitled, but for others?
It's just something out of control and not something I even try hard to think about anymore.
I've said a lot about this topic in my second reply to soadeths, so yeah. Think this is a good point for me to stop (given this is going more & more into off topic territory).
