Option one: pay for game, some money goes to publisher, some goes to creators

Option two: pirate game, no money goes to anyone

Which one helps the creators?

Option three: Donate to creator or buy something directly from them to help offset the cost of pirating.

Pirates: Nah I’m good fam. I just want free shit because I’m too poor and don’t get paid enough.

A donation or purchasing something else doesn’t legally or morally entitle you to owning an unrelated product made by the creator though…

I disagree. Consumer gets game, creator gets paid. Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

it’s immoral to prevent people from sharing tools or stories or songs or skills. i’m entitled to enjoy whatever someone wants to share with me.

You realise that the screenshot you shared tells you to buy from real platforms first and foremost?

You realize that the developers all got paid before the game was even released, right? They were getting paychecks the whole time.

Game wasn’t complete.

For downvoters here: they still did not deliver everything that was promised during crowdfunding campaign. And with scale of layoffs I’m not sure they can.
