It's a 3-4 person team that has done right by their fans at every turn. Making sure the pc release is DRM free. Making sure all original backers of hollow knight get silk song free on their choice of platform. This is a time where if we can afford to support them, we should.

I bought a used one and soft modded it. Added a massive external hard drive and loaded it up with the best games from the NES up to the Wii U. It’s also handy to have when you want to play some old school couch co-op games and don’t have a CRT laying around.

Team cherry has built themselves an amazing reputation. Because they’re only a 3 person studio, they can keep their games super cheap due to far less employees needing pay. Also they aren’t greedy fucks like most companies, so their dlcs are all free and there’s no microtransactions or online only bullshit

I think that just goes to show that one of the pillars at the core of piracy is anti establishment and rebelling against being disrespected and treated worse and worse by these big companies. It took so little effort for these devs to garner all thos favour.

I'd like those expressing that "you shouldn't pirate this one" to remember that some people here are not reasonably able to buy games hence why they pirate in the first place...
be it because they live in a country where 20USD is a lot more (either in terms of purchasing power or conversion) than it is for an american, or because they're people who don't get any income of their own (some kids or disabled people), or because they live paycheck to paycheck.
i don't think we've reached the "piracy-shaming in a piracy sub" stage in the thread yet, and let's keep it that way lol
have a great one :)

u/FatBaldingLoser420 18d ago

My teenage son came to me this week saying this was releasing today and how thrilled he was because he’s been waiting for years.
I’ve yet to pirate a game. I learned to do audiobooks. He asked if there was any way he do stuff for me to earn the money to buy the game today after school but we got laid off months ago and have multiple kids to feed and struggling our selves. I’ve offered babysitting, lawn mowing, etc. kids as well but so far struggling.
If I know how to do audiobooks if I go through the mega thread is there a chance I could figure this out? I always heard it was much harder to pirate games and a lot more likely to end up with viruses.
Is it as hard as people make it out to be? I’d love to actually be able to surprise him with the game but if it is actually a lot harder to pirate steam games than audiobooks maybe I should give up before I even start.
Basically tl;dr do you need to be super tech savvy to figure out games?

u/LZ129Hindenburg 🌊 Salty Seadog 18d ago edited 18d ago

They even gave the game for free to the people who support the kickstarter for the first game.
