...you realize the reason 90% of games and media are available here for free with almost no strings attached... is cuz its a pirate site... right? A lot of devs do give public releases, but its usually a month later, other devs do steam/paid releases, that are only accessible cuz of the very site we're on. Most releases are available very close to paid customer release times because this is a pirate site.
This site is more than a pirate site now, yes, but just cuz its more than that, doesn't mean its not also a pirate site.
It can be both.
If Youtube suddenly allowed porn on it, but it still had all its usual content you could find, I guarantee you people will start calling it a porn site.
All the devs know what they're getting into when they expose their games to this site, and supporters that enjoy the content will support regardless of the piracy, so you don't need to have this pissy fit and condescending attitude over semantics of what this site is called.
If you don't want to pirate the next version if its paywalled, then support the dev on Patreon when the next release comes out.
I also don't understand why you're so mad at that person, they're saying there won't be any negativity/drama cuz its a pirate site, you're getting mad at them for calling it that, so are you mad that they don't want negativity/drama? You want this site not to be viewed as a piracy site, so that people may be free to start useless drama? I am assuming you will be one of those people if the game gets leaked, and you will be mad and rude about it, considering you're condescending tone.
