Supporting the Rules

alt text: “the state of the animation industry”

“you’re pirating that show? don’t you wanna support the creators?” “I AM the creator.”

“haha the only way I can show future employers my work is to send a link to a bunch of pirated copies of it haha what a nightmare haha”

        They sometimes buy keys using stolen credit cards. When the fraud is found out, the banks will request the money from the developer. They in turn often don’t have a way to lock the fraudulent key, so it remains valid.

        The costs for the initial bank transfer, plus the time invested in returning the money to the credit card holder are payed by the developer.

        The key reseller has a 100% profit margin, the customer has a valid and cheap game key, and the developer actually lost time and money.

    Infinity Train is really good if you haven’t watched it. Very short episodes too. Probably my favorite piece of animation in the last 10 years.

      The intro music (if you want to call the background music soundscape thingy that) is exceptional. Always emotionally touched me.

      I can definitely recommend the Infinity Train series too.

        I think the first season was pretty excellent. The mystique disappeared a little bit after that, which definitely changed how the episodes felt going forward, but it was still good

          I agree the series got worse through the seasons. And not only because of mystique loss.
