“Better” or “you get what you pay for” aside, the owner of PIA is patently sketchy.
I know this isn’t what you’re asking for, but with so many scam sites posting fake zips or pretending to upload them behind endless ad-survey walls, I think you’re much better off just using soulseek for music piracy these days.
I moved off PIA after they were bought by a former ad-ware distributor, and I’ve been on Proton VPN since.
They do currently have a Linux GUI, though it’s extensively lacking compared to the Windows client, and the CLI / DIY methods for using their service is much more flushed out.
That’s not to say it’s a bad client, it’s just very much not what they advertise feature-wise. The speeds and server-availability are all great, and these days it’s all bundled into a “Proton Account” that gives you VPN, Email, and Cloud Storage based on your tier.
going back and changing stuff wont do any actual good for anybody
I don’t think it’s so outrageous to think the developers / artist came together and said something along the lines of “hey we’re in a different place than we were back when we released this, and are no longer comfortable with the social/sexual/racial/etc. overtones in some parts of the game.”
It’s helps them, it’s their work and their expression being put out into the world; they have every right to want to alter it as their moral compass shifts.
The only actually shame is that their initial work seems to have attracted a pretty weirdly rabid & horny fanbase that can’t stand their change in tone.
After joining TL, I really only use it and Nyaa for torrents, and Soulseek for music.
The "why"is just that there’s rarely anything I can’t find on TL.
Does anyone else feel like this game is getting super heavily marketed / talked about out of nowhere? Did they pay some big streamer to play it or something ?
It’s a remake of a game from 2017/2018 that had ~100 peak players, and now it has 40K average players? just seems a little weird.
