Supporting the Rules
alt text: "the state of the animation industry"
"you're pirating that show? don't you wanna support the creators?" "I AM the creator."
"haha the only way I can show future employers my work is to send a link to a bunch of pirated copies of it haha what a nightmare haha"
TLDR from Factorio devs: piracy costs only pirates(electricity bill, internet bills), resellers costs game studios a lot(fees, chargebacks) and often are part of fraud and money launderung.
