    Indie solo video game dev here.

    I am okay with gamers “requisitioning” games if they truly can’t afford it. While it is my livelihood, it’s also my attempt at art and I want people to enjoy it. I even plan on releasing a safe cracked copy for the next game.

    If you pirate a game, there are ways to help support us starving devs if you like the game.

    1. Spread the word far and wide that you like the game. A little effort on your part can save us marketing budget and trigger new sales.

    2. In the future if you have the financial ability, buy a legit key on sale. Even at 75%+ discount it helps.

    But please don’t cost us additional money. It costs time and money to process chargebacks triggered by the key resellers selling keys procurred with stolen credit cards.
