    There’s Disco Elysium, where the developers themselves tell you to pirate it because some parasitic corporate asshole stole it, and then there’s this, where the poor sods who got shafted by their parasite have their brains so rotten and Stockholm syndromed by its abuse that they get offended when you don’t give it money they won’t be seeing a cent of.

    This game is evidently not worth even pirating. Don’t pirate it, don’t buy it, don’t play it, don’t even mention it except as an example of the evils of corporatism and runaway capitalism.

    If you’re a developer (or anyone else whose work can be stolen by greedy parasites) take it as a cautionary tale and don’t let parasites steal your work. Unionize. Form a cooperative. Starve the parasites instead of feeding them.

      You should probably bother doing some more reading on the topic. Buying the game is GOOD for the people who an asshole tried to fire and fuck out of paying the bonus they deserve.

      Is that so? I’ve primarily seen glowing reviews about how good it is already and even well optimized even given its EA status.
