    Then offer better downloads? FitGirl’s repacks exist because some people have incredibly shitty ISPs that impose harsh data caps with dogshit speeds. Downloading an uncompressed 70gb game is just not going to happen, what do these companies suggest people do? Purchase their games and never successfully download them?

    Note: this is not about modding games to have muscle mommies or !fitmoe@lemmy.world characters.

    If I can’t own it, you shouldn’t get anything from me.

    Although I did buy the factorio DLC. They earned it.

      I remember at least one indie dev saying that they would prefer you pirate the game instead of using key resellers as they tend to cost the devs lots of time and money dealing with credit card fraud.
