proprietary software is not inherently evil. There is nothing wrong with for example an indie game dev working on a game for months and then releasing it and wanting payment for it. Literally nothing wrong with that. Yes he has to keep the source code hidden and maybe even obfuscate the binary because if he didn't then people would just crack or download it for free. Yes he may need to put restriction checks in so you can only run it on one PC. Nothing here is evil, you are free to not buy it.

Imagine you called a banana farmer evil because after spending weeks and weeks harvesting his banana trees he was charging for them at the local market. Imagine telling him he should allow people to go up to his banana stand and just take as many bananas as they want without paying. Imagine trying to claim he could techincally still make money by selling the bananas for money, he would just also have to allow people to take them free of charge at the same time.

this is only possible because retards dont know its open source, because the majority of games are not. If open source was the standard like libretards want it to be, then everyone would know you could get every software for free & never choose to pay

freesoftware licenses are an autism check.

>copying is not theft
consider why theft is bad in the first place and then apply that logic to copying copyrighted material.
