if you look at the dates on the posts you'll notice that his explanation came after my inquiry. And I don't know why youre acting like I'm picking in them, the game hasn't been discontinued yet, so *if* they had pirated the game off of an independent developer, I would see plenty off issue with that. Seeing as they didn't, I still think asking the author to release it for free is a bit distasteful, but expressing concerns about the games release and choosing to only play the free demos is entirely up to them and I have no issue with that. I don't see why you take my comment to be anything more than a discouragement of wrongfully pirating an independent product, something I even said in the original comment, may or may not be what they did, which evidently they didn't.
