The "it's not fair we pay for these games for them to then be pirated" says it all, it's not about the company becoming bankrupt because of piracy, it's because they don't want to feel bad once they have been scammed with a half made game that others have gotten for free. Because a half made game should be worthless

What a strange mentality. When I pay for things I want, I'm generally happy to support the creator. If others can't, why would I be upset if they get the product for free? It means more people can also enjoy the thing I like.

It's such a crab bucket mentality, I couldn't imagine living life being constantly bitter.

I can think of a couple ways this post makes sense. For example, if Denuvo paid this commenter to make this post.

That makes a lot of sense actually. In fact I wouldn't doubt this to be some scummy social engineering firm.

They're probably just a kid who can't easily afford games.

Can't tell if you're drinking the Kool aid... Or serving.
