Ahh, pirating.. The mysterious forged pass into game-land when you can't afford your own ticket..
Pirating can affect sales, sure, but they will never "destroy" them.. Pirates, that is, online pirates, steal things that they want, that they cannot afford.. This means two things.. They steal "good" things, because pirates, like everyone else, want "good" things.. And, they steal things they cannot afford.. This could be something that's unreasonably expensive, or just something that's 1 dollar and fuck it they don't have a paypal account..
If something is good, and expensive, it will be pirated a lot.
If something is shitty, but expensive, it will be pirated, mostly out of spite.
If something is good, but cheap, it'll be pirated less, as most pirates do contain a modicum of respect for well-priced quality content.
If something is bad, but cheap, it will be pirated with no guilt or shame.
But making a game that is both good AND cheap is hard, so just make an account on ULMF and specifically sell/advertise the game there, that way you can puff up your chest and act righteous as you stare down anyone who dares mention the word like a bald eagle over its nest, and get bent out of shape when your game gets pirated anyway, because you thought hanging out WITH the pirates would somehow prevent your game from getting pirated..
Let's face it, ulmf is basically the Unofficial HentaiPirate Forum.. Hentai gamers typically come here for one of two reasons.. To keep up to date on any new hentai games, and to then pirate, said games..
So watching you bunch argue about pirating is just cute.. It's like a bunch of mobsters huddled over a card table complaining about thier less-profitable family members getting mugged down the street, because the crime rate is so high..
If you're trying to defend pirating, you're an idiot.. It IS wrong.. But people do it, and defending something wrong will always be wrong..
So don't defend it, and pirate quietly.
If you're against pirating, you're also an idiot, because you're arguing about it in the one place where it happens the most often, with the exception
of the actual sites who host the downloads themselves.. So be self-righteous quietly, or, in other words, shut up and talk about something else.

To help the subject move along.. Pony, I notice your picture wears the same hat as that one guy from that series.. Whatever it's called..
And I've always wanted to know this but never asked.. What is WITH his hat?.. Why does it like.. Turn into hair part-way through?.. Is it just
hair that's molded into the shape of a hat? Is the hat made out of extremely thin material so the finer shape of his hair pokes through it?.. Or is
it just lazy drawing?..
