How dare he make good games and have good opinions. I refuse, and will buy his game a second time out of spite.

This is how you effectively combat the interests trying to kill libraries, filesharing and the public commons in general. Continue normalizing the activity, as it makes law designed to attack it all the more odious and unworkable. The bad guys lose when cultural attitudes rally around free information exchange. The key to that is being public and vocal like the dev.

That’s how you make people buy your game instead.

It’s already been proven that piracy is a causal factor in more sales. Any self-interested dev should be promoting piracy of their game.

Ultrakill, Terraria, Crosscode and Hollow Knight are the only singleplayer games I’ve gone out of my way to buy after playing through their pirated copies.

I love the fact that he does not only speak of gaming piracy, but of general piracy in general. He talks about culture, and it’s true, lack of culture is used to control the masses

It resembles the efforts of Archive.org and other culture-preservation driven websites/projects.

Internet is (or should be) our Library of Alexandria, where everyone is welcome —no matter their country, believes or financial situation— and have a feist on culture and knowledge like none other and for free. Games, art, books, cinema, Lemmy-like forums. You name it.
