it's really funny to me when people think they're getting back at the devs by pirating hogwarts legacy

it's always people who miss the point about what piracy is and does

you're not "taking money out of the devs' pockets" because that isn't how piracy works

what you ARE doing is contributing to the game's success via word-of-mouth, which adds to the hostile environment trans people face daily

with the added bonus of shoveling thinly-veiled bigoted garbage into your mind

@vantablack Some people literally

@otyugh @vantablack It's kind of strange anyone ever bought the #CopyrightMaximalist bullshit propaganda.

But their accounting of fictional projected sales as lost profits was always particularly humorous.

No people wouldn't have bought the thing if they couldn't "pirate" it, they just would've lived without it.

Yes, I loved this so much !
...And then people gawk at it and be like "this is a tragedy, art is dying because of the mob making property theft ; humanity is bad". T_T
