There are a lot of games leaking on the forum, and I got to know Third Crisis through these leaks, not everything is rosy for the dev but we also have to take into account that through these leaks the game becomes known.
I don't encourage piracy although I've pirated many games, but many of these I have purchased on Steam today, even with 0 hours of gameplay, precisely to encourage developers.
a great example I can give is Undertale, which I played a pirated version of for a long time, but I currently have it on steam even though I don't play it. it's a way to support the dev's work.
I just understand that we can't always support the game at the moment even though we like the game, but when we can, it not only encourages the devs to update and add more content to the game but also to make more games that you enjoy.
