      I was buying in a way that couldn’t be simply taken away.

      Do you have a favorite leather polish to lick up?

      LOL, I only pay for things I can own, most of of them are much more expensive than subscription.

      Admit it, only poor peasants choose subscription.

      You’re poor and that’s why you pirate

      I’m supporting multiple indie game devs on Patreon.

      I bought the Ultimate Edition of Baldurs Gate 3 after my first playthrough on the pirated version.

      I made an one-time donation of $60 to the devs of Enderal (a free Skyrim mod, I can highly recommend it).

      Give me what’s on the package with no intrusive DRM, microtransactions, and stuff and I’ll happily throw my money at you.

      I mean I live in the most expensive region of the US and live pretty comfortably, but go off paying to see ads and have content taken from you I guess.
