      Just would like to say that if you get $3000 in free games over the past 3 years, $5 is nothing.

      Without money, piracy sites shut down. Then everyone cries.

      It’s not a bad thing to throw them a few bucks every few years if you want them to survive.

      Price of a cup of coffee.

        We all know this is a side hustle. No one pirates or repacks as a main source of income, donations are way too volatile for that.

        So no, I won’t tip someone for their hobby.

          I don’t. And I’ll be wary about assuming that. If they devote their time and effort to one thing, they’re sacrificing being able to do other things. Idk why there is a need to explain that

            Welcome to the real world where primary income doesn’t come from donations.

      I mean, she’s never tried to hide the fact that she’s Russian. And she also hasn’t hidden the fact that she dislikes Putin. But lots of Europe is struggling right now. For instance, the farmers protesting across many parts of Europe, as a result of the war and Ukrainian exports.
