Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?

Disco elysium and hades.
Don’t buy Disco Elysium. Pirate it.
The original devs got screwed over by the publisher ZA/UM. The devs actively encourage people to pirate the game so the scumbag publisher won’t get to profit off what they created.
It’s a great game and the OG devs want you to play it for free by pirating :>
Can’t recommended DE enough, and for that price it’s a must buy.
Never encourage people to buy that game, the devs don’t get a cent and don’t want you to buy it, they want you to pirate it.

Disco Elysium shouldn’t be bought because the devs won’t get a cent from the sale, pirate it, that’s what they want you to do.

Can you cite a source for the devs requesting it be pirated? I can’t find one.

That would be a poor legal strategy since the whole issue is still in the courts. So there is no official statement on that.

If the issue is still in the courts it might get reversed and the devs’ll see some money from the outcome.
I’m not a fan of pirated games, maybe I’m an internet pussy, but I trust steam.
The game has probably made 90% of the money it’ll ever make. I paid $5 bucks on sale, $3.50 is headed to the shitbag company who pulled this nonsense, I feel bad for the devs, but I’ve sent more money to worse people while trying to make it through this bullshit society we live in.
I hope the devs win their case, my heart is with them.
