Fuck pirate software. He derailed the conversation on stopkillinggames with his disingenuous straw man arguments.

He's one of the most pretentious fucks I've seen.

"$80 games are bad for the games industry!"

There, I didn't have to be a shill to say this.

Oh shit. Actually I completely forgot about that. I really didn't like his takes on that ...

I think he was arguing that it was going to be hugely costly to the developer to keep games running after the fact and how difficult it was going to be. I really wanted to give him a fair shake but it really did feel full of straw man stuff because the stopkillinggames stuff wasn't really about that.
