Hi princessbarb21,

Our stance on piracy is something both of us (Irlana and Fable) have discussed and researched extensively. We understand your concern over illegal activity and we can't speak for other developers, but we have no problem with someone streaming a beta version of The Symbiant, pirated or not. In fact, we highly suspect that a number of the people who pre-ordered the game and are backing us on Patreon are players who discovered the game through piracy.

Taiyo even put a link in the itch and steam page of The Symbiant in the video's description (and no, he didn't link the pirated build). And the video is in Thai --he translated the dialogue as he played, making the story accessible to hundreds of people who would otherwise have never been able to understand our game, let alone hear about its existence. We appreciate this behavior much more than the Youtubers who stream the demo, link to their own ko-fi or Patreon and never once put a link to our own official page.

 Fair enough.   Thanks for clearing that up.
