But why should anyone have to break the law to watch the Mets?

      Yes… But then again how can other people know… It kind of sucks, I would have never found some steam sites w/o others sharing… But I get what you mean.

        I don’t have a problem with sharing…but when these mainstream news sites out these places, there’s usually blood in the water coming. The same thing happened with a free VR piracy repo after Bonelab came out. It was shared by a mainstream game site and then tiktok. Afterwards, they had to go dark and switch to a paid / VIP only.

        Same effect happens with Nintendo fan games.

          Yeah there’s a big difference between spreading the word on an individual basis and broadcasting something on a national media outlet. The latter is just obnoxious and directly harmful to the community. Good on you for calling it out.

          Remember when Kotaku made an article on Pokemon Uranium, which got a C&D 3 days later? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
