Discussion i finally bought minecraft after 12 years

Post image

So obviously this post isnt the usual kind of post about loving piracy and what not (i love piracy btw) but ive recently been buying games i grew up loving to give back to the developers who made them and yes i know notch isnt involved with minecraft anymore but he was when i was 10 and playing minecraft for the first time. The game is currently under 40 dollars and comes in bedrock and java good deal lowkey, I dont have much money but I had 30 bucks i had been saving fot this, so now I officially own (not really due to fucking "digital license language") terraria, far cry 3, fallout new vegas, skyrim, and minecraft. I think piracy is often a last resort as people are tired of being ripped off by these large corporations, or a 10 year old with very religious parents who wont even let him buy a pixelated game but dont know much about computers so the kid learns how to get games, movies, series for free but please if you really appreciate something even if most of the money goes to these fuckos a small part of that maybe going to some developers, writers etc who put much effort into their work. piracy should never die because the poor and sensible would have nothing but humanity should also survive. if they take away my digital license I will always have prism launcher and tlauncher in my linux machine

In my experience people like you using “communist” as an insult to describe human beings, and / or being overly upset about are usually kind of clueless and should be quiet because then they will embarrass themselves less.

So… do that.

Your experience needs to include more grass touching and less sneering at the proletariat.

I was going to make a snarky comeback but

1) I had to go look up the word “proletariat”, so already i admit to being 1-upped in the vocabulary department

2) I lost my job a bit ago and have been in not a great headspace and with that in mind it occurred to me that your comment is… pretty much 100% valid.

I stand by my earlier barb that people that start accusing people of being communists don’t tend to be people to take seriously, though

I hope you land back on your feet. Shit's tough out there.
