It'd be funny if its one of those creepy unsettling ones

I think Pidge was prototyping a half-transparent piracy banner that would display on top of the gameplay many years ago but didn’t go with it?

#

There was also a thing in the old versions where if you ran a pirated copy it printed every “r” character twice and you heard Pidge going “Yargh!” on boot up, I think?

#

@worn kite am I crazy?

If we get a new one im imagining itd be a barely visible photo of Hal staring straight into the camera with the thousand yard stare with some ominous music and at the bottom it states

"piracy is a crime"

#

also ye it would be cool to have something creepy happen, even if it never triggers properly, it would be funny to have code for that compiled into the game

im not sure what pidge's timezone is so if they live in the mainland U.S. then its either 4:34, 3:34, or 1:34 AM for them

#

so they wont respond for a while

They’re at UTC-5

Tbh will ya I don't think piracy is that big an issue for the game currently

#

So just haven't put much thought into it

though im guessing you just... well delete steam files? im dumb so.. AND i would never pirate the game! i respect work from pidge! and im very mindful of people's work.

It's illegal in Queensland

#

||tro it's talking about literal piracy, as in hijacking ships in the sea||

#

Was reading through Queensland Australian law recently it's all so funny

copper mountain
#

well obviously piracy is illegal

#

do you think that stops anyone though?
is the government gonna track down every single person's internet usage
and actually care abt one stolen copy
when there's so many other bigger issues?
