What kind of brain poison causes someone to purposefully not allow their mod to be played on pirated copies?

what kind of brain poison can't get a job?
>>
>>737311547
The kind of brain poison that comes from wasting hours debugging an issue to discover that its caused by a crack or patched in the official release.

That's just in instances where the mod maker refuses to support users who make it evident they were using their mod with a pirated copy and it doesn't work as intended. When a mod is actively checking to see if it's being used with a legitimate copy is when it gets real bootlick-y.

if nobody buys the game it dies, and there's no more point making mods

Starsector is essentially free and yet people still buy it to support the devs. Just make good games

This can't be real right?
>>
>>737311952
>uhhh you're a bootlicker
shut up faggot. if you can't run my mod it's literally not my problem. kill yourself i guess
>>
>>737311952
what if someone doesn't make it evident or outright denies it while using a pirated copy?
>>
>>737312064
If no one new tries the game, then the game dies and there's no point making mods.
Piracy increases the potential playerbase significantly, providing additional discourse and recommendations. Actually buying the game only needs to be perceived as marginally more convenient than piracy for it to still acquire converts.

It's kinda based desu, I'd regionlock a lot of people from my mods too

after thinking about it, i'd probably do the same if it was easy. dealing with a mod community is always unpleasant and not supporting pirated versions liberates you from having to talk to the following
>russians
>koreans
>chinese
>latinx (all forms, especially brazilians)
money is a very good form of gatekeeping when you think about it
>>
>>737316851
nta but a game dying has never stopped mods from being made.
mods have been used to continue games more than a few times

Ever wonder why free news is so shit compared to pay walled news? Yeah.

>>737311952
I think it's a waste of time to implement a check like that but I've also seen how fucking annoying the ESL monkeys in the comments are for both mods and piracy. It's just better to not deal with them at all rather than read a bug report only to find out the retard is using an outdated version of the game or something and have them get mad at the creator because they won't adjust the mod around that.

all modders have the tism, anon
whatever one you're talking about just has a specific tism
