    Instance creator in here explaining that if you remove all instances of “piracy” from the meme then it stops being related to piracy. deng stare

    I’m just gonna say that Eugene and his ilk are very common in video game communities and I hate them. I remember reading through the a famous FF7 (original) modding forum for a famous translation mod and they would show open contempt for people acquiring the PS1 era game through illicit means. In a modding forum of all places.

      But how will the poor indipendent dev Mr. Square Enix eat if you don’t purchase his 80 year old game😭 he has a family you know?

      Seriously though, it should not even be controversial in society at large to pirate things older than a couple years. Publishers make 90% of their revenue in the first year anyway.
