That’s exactly how I did it. A friend of mine got me interested in the premise, but I just couldn’t afford to buy it. So I pirated it… And the moment I had the spare funds, this was one of the games I pirated that I instantly bought among a few others like Dead Cells and Halls of Torment. The devs of Slay the Princess know they have something good enough to convince folks to buy it even when they have it for free, no strings attached. And they’re right.
