i was interested when i first saw this ages ago and had it in my wishlist for ages with no real updates. so i was pretty excited to see this game had a redo and was getting actual updates. i generally use this site to try out games before i buy so after trying this was i put it back on my wishlist but seeing the dev be combative and abrasive has made me change my mind. i know that doesn't mean much coming from a random person on the internet but its honestly a massive turn off to want to support a dev who then comes to a pirate site to behave like this as it comes off as yet anther steam dev who just fights with people who disagree with them and there's already too many of them. you cant actually know how many people here move on to buying a game they like and when they come here seeing you being snippy and snarky while dismissing criticisms because you think someone not paying for a product means their criticisms are invalid says a lot more about you than them. it also ignores the fact that games like this can be illegal in some countries or otherwise be problematic to risk showing up in an account they own. it costs nothing to not be a dick when you want people to support you
two things
1. we have a demo, so you "pirating" a game to "test" it makes no sense.
2. we offer the game on multiple sites, these sites vary on what countries are allowed to purchase them from.
I only start fights with the entitlement people have over their dangling of "support". Do people pirate and then purchase the game? Sure. Do people pirate the game and feel obligated to give feedback on improving the product? Absolutely, I might as well get something from the interactions here. If you don't want to support me, fine, more power to you. Customers should vote with their wallets for products they want to support.
I do know the number of those who support the game post pirating, and those who just pirate are not in my favor. Whether or not you decide to purchase a legitimate copy of any of my games it's entirely up to you. You have that power, do what you will with the money you have. Just know I'm going to call you out on your hypocrisy for what it is.
