    You all weren’t buying even before that. Stop rationalizing. You’re poor and that’s why you pirate.

      I’m supporting multiple indie game devs on Patreon.

      I bought the Ultimate Edition of Baldurs Gate 3 after my first playthrough on the pirated version.

      I made an one-time donation of $60 to the devs of Enderal (a free Skyrim mod, I can highly recommend it).

      Give me what’s on the package with no intrusive DRM, microtransactions, and stuff and I’ll happily throw my money at you.

      I was buying in a way that couldn’t be simply taken away.

      Do you have a favorite leather polish to lick up?

      LOL, I only pay for things I can own, most of of them are much more expensive than subscription.

      Admit it, only poor peasants choose subscription.

      I mean I live in the most expensive region of the US and live pretty comfortably, but go off paying to see ads and have content taken from you I guess.
