Spreading the word about a game you pirated and enjoyed is "at worst an equal trade," Hakita says.

I actually bought ultrakill but now I have an even bigger respect for the chad that is Hakita

    This is how you effectively combat the interests trying to kill libraries, filesharing and the public commons in general. Continue normalizing the activity, as it makes law designed to attack it all the more odious and unworkable. The bad guys lose when cultural attitudes rally around free information exchange. The key to that is being public and vocal like the dev.

    I was playing the demo over and over before I finally got the full game this year.

    It’s ironic that when a dev says its ok to pirate their game, I feel a greater urge to purchase it legitimately. Maybe it’s because you have to be a certain level of cool to say that.

    How dare he make good games and have good opinions. I refuse, and will buy his game a second time out of spite.

    I love the fact that he does not only speak of gaming piracy, but of general piracy in general. He talks about culture, and it’s true, lack of culture is used to control the masses

      It resembles the efforts of Archive.org and other culture-preservation driven websites/projects.

      Internet is (or should be) our Library of Alexandria, where everyone is welcome —no matter their country, believes or financial situation— and have a feist on culture and knowledge like none other and for free. Games, art, books, cinema, Lemmy-like forums. You name it.

    With proton it runs like a charm for those who have Linux also!

    Everyone working on Ultrakill is fucking amazing. You got a mix of trans artists who got into work with Ultrakill through gay hentai they drew of the game, a voice actor who posts memes on YT, and the main dev (Hakita, featured here) is a bi anti capitalist icon.
