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

    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.

    People in the future will be like:

    “Pokémon? There’s radio silence after the 3DS games. I think that Nintendo closed down by then.”

    “Ah, Ultrakill? Here. [points to some file in the repo] Still playable. Small dev from a brilliant indie scene.”

    I’m being kind of cheeky; it’s reasonably possible that people in the future know that Nintendo games actually existed past the 3DS, they simply weren’t preserved because their corporation got too greedy. In the meantime, game devs like Hakita are keeping their legacy alive.

          Gen7 was nice tho it could just be nostalgia on my end.

          The ultra gen 7 sucked tho

          Internet needed to beat the game was an awful fucking idea

            Gen7 for me was… meh. I remember being extremely annoyed at the RotomDex telling me what to do, as if it didn’t allow me to explore properly. Perhaps because my nostalgia is geared towards the older games (I still play Emerald, to give you an idea.)

              I should play some of the older games. I’m OK at battles but exploration is an issue, what older games aren’t tm reliant for exploration?

                In your case I wouldn’t recommend trumpets and water Emerald then, as it’s exploration-heavy - there’s huge routes, and often what you want is in a specific place. You’ll probably have a great time with Gen 4 instead, specially Platinum.

    It’s ironic that when a dev says its ok to pirate their game, I feel a greater urge to purchase it legitimately. Maybe it’s because you have to be a certain level of cool to say that.

    My opinion is that if you don’t have not much money to spend into video games that’s okay to pirate it, but try to encourage the creators by donating or just say thanks!
