That username. It feels familiar. 😑
He doesn’t wanna make new friends, or so it seems.
Doing this all on mobile was definitely a mistake. 😥

I guess pirates don’t result in additional costs for the developer from dealing with support tickets or other forms of customer care 🤷
That’s not the real problem. Key resellers actually cost the devs money because those keys are bought with stolen credit cards. Eventually the original card holder does a charge back for a purchase they didn’t authorize and it’s the dev that ends up with the bill.
Where are they buying these keys in bulk like that? Couldn’t seller just void the keys or do proper diligence on the transaction if it is high value? Why would they pay vendor for it?
Ooh, that makes sense. I’m not too familiar with key resellers, so I was just guessing. But you explanation makes more sense. Thank you
Also if people pirate a game they can potentially still buy it through official channels later. If they have bought it through grey or black markets then that opportunity is lost.
I originally pirated geometry dash, minecraft and terraria when i was kid but then bought them. I think if a game is good you can vote with your money. But maybe im just a minority because i also support foss projects.
Did this with many games due to pure convenience, ie it was easier to just pay to have it on steam.

Running With Scissors are so unabashedly based.
If indie devs really have that preference, then they need to remove the DRM/Vendor-locking stuff in their games, unfortunately. If your game relies on eg. Steam for the multiplayer or workshop mods, then people are going to prefer resellers.
Most people are buying steam keys from the resellers, so that’s not really the issue.
That’s my point. You need those Steam keys to get the full experience. If you pirate it, you don’t get it. Therefore for some games, resellers > piracy.
Is that a real tweet
Yes
Oh Postal 4 is a thing. Maybe ill buy that
So is eneba a bad place to purchase PSN digital codes from, as well?
No, fuck sony
A streamer I actually trust has a partnership with them and he assures they are not shady. It may not sound as much but well its what I know
That streamer is paid by them so I wouldn’t put much faith in their opinion on it.
These guys made the Postal games. Take their views with a grain of salt.
That’s supposed to discredit them? Rockstar made games about stealing amd killing everything in site as their bread and butter, plus lesser known things like the ‘manhunt’ games based on a premise of snuff films and are one of the larger houses around.
