I suppose Baldur’s Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just “recent” release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

      If you haven’t bought Disco Elysium already, don’t.

      Don’t misunderstand, you NEED to play it. It’s an amazing game.

      But even the devs themselves will tell you to pirate the game.

        On the other hand, devs who promote pirating their work are the kind of people I do want to give money to.

          They’re encouraging it because the studio sacked most of the team abruptly. The developers who actually made the game are long gone

          You should read about the situation that prompted them to say that. Their work has basically been stolen from them, and if you do buy it, the people who made the game won’t see a dime.

          You’re better off pirating it and sending them money on Patreon or something.
