Beggars can't be choosers.
You're not invited. No money, no fun.
There are even people trolling the poor bastard who are too poor, trying to shame them into compliance and taking away their free speech while pretending to be the white knights for the dev. These people bought the copy of the game, hypotheticals like "I would wait if I had to" don't cut it, because there's no virtue in the "I would..." Anyone would be a hero, but the fact is just you are or not.
Before someone responds If you can't afford $5 You better check your life choices or whatever, you better check your privilege, because that money can be a lot and even $1 can be significative in the third world, where economic misery, not just poverty, is abundant and pervasive. (yes, it's an economic and political hell hole, in most cases. And no, people don't flee because "climate change". By the way, I have the sneaky suspicion most of the "white knights" wanna be live in the first world and some, maybe even protest the duly elected "King" (the hypocrisy would be hilarious).
