i try to pay indie devs whenever i can
Food for thought. If you have decided you were never going to buy the game, what's the harm in pirating it
Honesty as an aspiring indie dev myself, I wouldn't mind you pirate my game BUT I just buy cheap indie games on sale without not being sure if I'm going to play them any time soon. Best case scenario I found new favorite game, worst case scenario, I just payed 8€ (-the expenses from the store) to some developer chasing their dream.
My wallet can take it and I like to support indie scene.
Fuck yeah! Good on ya :)
sometimes i decide its worth my money after i play it
If you were never going to buy it, why pirate it?
To check it out and realize I don't like it after like 15 minutes and then not have to deal with a refund.
Gimme a demo at least.
That indicates that you might buy it if it's good. The person I replied to implied they would never have purchased it at all.
Because if you're selfish enough you can enjoy the game at no cost to you guilt free.
I'm just pointing out the facts here.
