lol!

Overused comment that has almost nothing to do with the point.

Car making without the tracking bullshit!

Oh, got it! Yup. In that context, that was quite the inaccurate sentence.

What do you mean by this? Genuinely curious…

that just hurls meteor filled bugs randomly

I think you meant to say “bugs filled meteors”?

Which he did. His statement is the license.

Plus free software doesn’t strictly mean that the author doesn’t get paid for their work.

Nobody said you shouldn’t pay artists.

The parent poster was simply replying to the ridiculous car analogy. He even addressed part of your argument.

You must be a troll. Good joke.

You’re both right.

So I’ll talk about a totally different point:

The day the MPAA and the RIAA sued fans for tens of thousands of dollars for pirating content that was still generating millions, is the day I said I would never, ever, pay for their content again, and pirate it guilty-free.

Edit: I also read the actual tweet. I think the author was responding to an “aha, gotcha!” moment. Someone posted a screenshot of them pirating his game with the caption “I love pirating indie games.” It almost feels like a troll post. And the dev didn’t bite the bait. He was like “eh, you do you. Devs gotta eat, sure, but you know what, culture should be accessible too.”

Your argument is weak.

1. Ultrakill made the game to make money. Releasing a game “for free” for all makes no business sense.

2. Plenty of publishers do release games for free. Though they hope sell players’ data, or ads or add-ons.

3. This dev is just one dev. Everyone else is free to do whatever they want.

So, there.

It’s pretty easy for him to have a chill attitude and say it’s okay to pirate his game after making nearly $100 million on it.

This is true. I don’t see a problem with that. Give me $100 million dollars. It will be pretty easy for me to do neat stuff that doesn’t necessarily bring me profits.

Edit: Downvoted by corporate suits. On Lemmy of all places.

I didn’t downvote you, but you pretty much are repeating what OP said.

“I won’t play this game!”

“Well, nobody is forcing you.”

Yep, that’s pretty much the same thing.

Ozone!

It’s totally inhumane but also no living thing was harmed, so - all good.

oysters?

Edit: OP originally wrote “Osters.” No need to downvote.

Especially for gaming!!!

Or it’s high seas.

It’s always the high seas.

I don’t understand why people put up with this with a freaking game. I will never pay money to companies that do this stuff. There are literally tens of thousands of games available right now that are perfectly enjoyable.

“Because of twitch there are too many boobs”
