looking back i’m definitely guilty of pirating some indie games
Indie dev here. Do whatever you want
I used to make small games too for a little bit. Same.
Or Nintendo:
“Stop pirating our old games!!!”
Okay, then sell me one of your old games.
“No.”
More like: Nintendo, “here is an HD remake of that old game you wanted.”
Fans, “We don’t want to pay for old games!”

Does that boot taste good? What would you do if you wanted to play, for example, The legend of zelda: four swords?
Nintendo: “Emulators are piracy”
Nintendo, 15 years later: “Anybody want to buy our emulated games on new consoles?”
a game I made in 1995
a game someone else made in 1995 which was later hostilely acquired by EA only to see it immediately fire all staff and shutter the studio
FTFY
Image Transcription:
A four-panel comic by mygumsarebleeding.
The first panel shows a person with short, black hair, wearing a black shirt with the EA logo on it. They are talking to a person with long, black hair who is wearing a red shirt and facing away, arms folded. The first person is saying “I’m so sorry honey”.
The second panel shows the first person from the first panel speaking to two smaller people, both wearing red and sitting at a table with their heads in their hands and empty plates in front of them. The person is saying “I’m sorry my children…”.
The third panel shows a close-up of the person saying “There will be no food tonight”.
The fourth panel shows an even closer view of the person’s face, lines under his eyes indicating distress as he says “Somebody pirated a game I made in 1995”.

“You wouldn’t download a car, would you?” … yes. Yes. I WOULD. Not that we can 3d print cars just yet. but I would in a heart beat if I could.
You wouldn’t download a car, would you?
Movies studios now trying to download actors.
Yes you will scream bloody murder about AI pirating from artists. Get it together lol.
