A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

              What will you do ?
Piracy.

I'm waiting for piracy. DRM hackers go brrrrrr

Or even buying it on instant gaming

I wouldn't. There was a dev ( I forget which game, but def indie ) that said the pirated keys from those dodgy sites actually ended up costing them money, and they would've been happier if people just pirated the game instead if they really didn't want to pay for it.

What's the difference between pirated keys and piracy ?

[–] absquatulate@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think it had something to do with credit card fees

Edit: found this on reddit

Grey Markets are often done by credit card scammers which results into chargebacks by the credit institute resulting in processing fees for the producer of the game or even getting them cc banned.

Edit edit: it was Factorio - https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/05/g2a-confirms-stolen-game-key-sales-pays-40000-to-factorio-devs/

Unless it's Denuvo sadly

Unless they accidentally include the .exe file on release again
