    Jesus, i not stealing candy from babies, do you remember Dave the diver, the game who almost won the indie GOTY prize beside been backed by a milionare fund corporation, ain’t saying i gonna pirated a “artistic” five dollars game made by one guy while living in some basement, althrought nothing would stop me.

    I more than glad to pay for games i appreciated, like “El Paso, elsewhere”, Mina The Hollower, Pigface, Dandara, Huntdown, etc, but you have to understand, i live in a place where some of those more popular “indie” games cost me as much as double AA or some AAA games on sale, they still very expense for a lot of people.

    That’s the exactly dumbass discussion who the Silksong caused on the piracy community, it was farly expensive for a lot of people and team cherry have swimming in money from the first game and the people who bought Silksong on launch, but the fanboys are trying to convince people than would be wrong to pirate a game who already have paid itself on launch (it broked the Valve server ffs).

    People have this illusion than pirates are there to fight big corpo or some moral bullshit, people are in piracy to get free stuff, some people would like to, sometimes, take his money to help the devs, because a lot of people using pirate products are fucking broke or live in places where such expenses would make no sense due the prices of some games

    If your indie game is too expensive, i will pirate it too, if it worth it i will bought, if not i won’t, very simple.

    Damn, i end up buying RDR2 as i finished him pirated and fell than the game deserve it.

    Some indie games, where i live are still very expensive and sometimes rhe devs already have a shitton of money like Team Cherry.








  • Kingdom Come Deliverance II was made on Cry Engine, day one it run pretty good on my setup (Ryzen 7 5700 X + RTX 2060 at the time, i got more or less 45 - 60 FPS on medium high settings, didn’t remember if i disabled upscaling).

    Meanwhile The Outer Worlds 2 with way less realistic and impressive graphics was a messy pixelated slideshow once i finished the tutorial, i was running on everything on minimum.

    Cry Engine and REngine are a memento from a time where videogame companies used to squish every bit for performance and make games look and feel fantastic even in weak hardware
