The problem is that this shit is a lot of work that we all benefit from... So how do we compensate the devs?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's the neat part, you don't.

Same as any other type of internet piracy. I don't give money to some guy ripping his movies or games.

The only way to do things like this is anonymously for the shits and giggles. A Patreon to make it their job is one thing, but the fact that they can pay $2.4million shows it went beyond that.

[–] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah fuck that. That's unsustainable and will only result in the end of piracy. We should feel bad for being leechers forever, imo. And we should strive to assist the causes we believe in, however we can.

On a similar note, I struggle to reconcile my contempt of Russian/Chinese policies with my adoration and support for piracy and the brave souls that maintain all the big projects we enjoy/rely on.

We don't, that's kinda the point. If you want to compensate the developers, you should buy their games.

How about the work of the devs that made the game...?
