It's bad enough the indie game devs continue to suffer because of the payment processors, and groups like Collective Shout  out their pushing censorship and hurting their income. There is a site that is plenty of shady and toxic to game developers without them even knowing. I've seen their works being met with slander and sh*t talking from these toxic entitled pirates.

These people are petty. They will come up with lies and excuses for not supporting games. Some of them won't fess up that they don't want to pay for games due to the fact that they are being cheap with their money, or that they have no money to pay for games. Instead of trying to place blame on the dev or insult the dev and their game because they don't want to admit their faults. Some these people would buy console games from these big corporations but won't want to pay for a game by an indie game. Let that sink in.

Even censorship occurs over on those pirate sites. Users have commented on censorship that has taken place over on F95Zone which even extended to games getting banned. They also don't like competition with other pirate sites and will censor people for mentioning rival pirate sites. 

There are other pirate sites out there that don't really care about the game devs, they just claim they do so it makes them seem legit.

P.S.  F95Zone members also populate this site. That's how some of them are able to grab your game, upload it and make links of your game/s to share. I know they will come to defend F95Zone, I just don't buy their BS.

If you’re trying to advertise your pirate site through reverse psychology, I think you’re in the wrong place.

Haha... I've given up on those cheapskates that just decide piracy is the way even with Steam discounts or how games have become so accessible and affordable.

It's like me taking a moderate stance on A.I and them saying I am an A.I bro just because I have an A.I avatar.

Some people will do whatever they can to justify their actions that hurt people or gaslight others, like on itch and some of the game jams where vote manipulation happened.

Maybe there is malware in your game or your laptop is secretly mining crypto for them, so if u go to another pirate site, it hurts their profit . This is just me guessing for fun since I am bored and would like to chat.

Also about AAA games by studios, well for a sure fact they have more polish in the visuals and sound, but whether the game story is good, or the boss design is nice, different story. Good example is Suicide Squad.

But I would be more predisposed to buy an AAA game cause of both awareness cause they have a marketing budge and also yeah, the visuals and soundtracks look better. I have played some Indie games here that are casual with potential,but they never released into a full product.
