Yes people make creative things, but they don’t make games that requires a game studio and give them away for free

They used to, they called it shareware. It could happen again.

Look, if my personally ignoring copyrights for certain things causes certain media companies to go bankrupt and causes a whole re-think of how the creative economy should work, I think that's a good thing. I don't think my choices are that powerful, but we can always hope.

I get it, I also think capitalism is a very low consciousness system where you destroy everything in the end. I often feel this place is ridiculous because of that. Some kind of school for the most retarded. However, I got put here so... Maybe I'm not so smart.
