    This but unironically describes Unity’s new pricing model.

        Things truly are dire when a 4Chan shitpost can be called prescient.

        Nope. It’s a common joke to show that a company doesn’t actually lose money when a game is pirated.

        It’s simply a comment on how piracy =/= lost sales. Don’t look too far into it.

        No. Afaik this only takes effect after certain revenue and install thresholds.

          F2P games can still make money. Look: microtransactions. So this absolutely applies to them.

      For this green text to be properly updated, the first line needs to be changed to, “Purchase game on Steam.”

        They can totally tell cause the game is offline… so they can tell a pirated copy from a not if they know it exists lmao

        (anyone giving pirated games internet access is a dumbass anyways and almost definitely is getting bitcoin mined)
