    The copyright troll known as “publisher” just will pocket all money you think you paid to people who made the game.

      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…
