What people need to learn is that "indie game" it's not a synonym for good, or worthwhile. I've pirated tons of indie games which wereamazing and I ended up buying.
I've also pirated tons of indie games that I wouldn't have spent a damn dollar on because they absolutely sucked.
Pirate indie games all damn day. Pay for the ones that aren't flame-broiled ass. Don't reward people who asset flip or put 5 mins of effort into something just because the game is listed under a category called 'indie' lmao
