Lord of Armageddon Oh and has it ever crossed anyone's minds that DRM is one of the reasons some people resort to pirating in first place nowadays? Isn't it because...idk...pirated copies don't have DRM? Also, I love how you're all condemning just the pirates and not also the people who pay as low as 1 cent for a charity. You DON'T pay that low for a charity! You might as well just up and say "I don't give a s**t about these people." also you should let the hungry starve instead of giving them a candy bar Seriously, anything is better than nothing. No really, it's mathematical. 1>0. Also, the REASON DRM exists is BECAUSE people pirate, which causes a cyclical effect.

Let's be clear first. DRM isn't necessarily a bad thing for the end user. Steam itself is a form of DRM after all. It's the ones that are intrusive that are a b***h. You hear me, Ubisoft?

I never said you should choose nothing over little. But seriously...1 CENT. You could honestly spare more than that to show you actually CARE. To me, 1 CENT doesn't show that much compassion.

1 cent isn't exactly generous, but pirating it is awful on an entirely different level.

Waynebrizzle 1 cent isn't exactly generous, but pirating it is awful on an entirely different level. Never said pirating wasn't. It's still a worse option than donating 1 cent. I'm just saying I think donating one measly cent isn't that much better. You gotta contribute a little more than that if you want the problem solved faster and more effectively.

It's cheap, but at least they're donating something. It's not like charities can be picky about what people donate.

I payed as much as I could pay without borrowing my mom's debit. 14 bucks. I should buy a green dot card.
I also changed the distribution so it all went to charity. Hey, it's not called DONATING your game for nothing.
