    You don’t know this game nor what happened there. You were never the intended public to donate.

    What happened is actual theft of intellectual property, not to be confused with copyright. The world of disco Elysium is a paracosm, a massive inner world developed intimately over a creators life.

    For those that have one, such world become a part of them, intertwined with your own identity.

    A loophole by a pig, enforced copyright where no moral right exists. It bans the creator of making stories or using elements of the universe that exists inside their own head.

    Such loss is not dissimilar to losing a child and i say this as a parent. I cant blame him for borderline insane emotional talking.

      It ended up on the front page of my lemmy instance, so I feel invited to read & comment. As I said, from what the plea describes, there’s plenty of people who one could help a lot more with a lot less money and out of circumstances that they have less chances of getting themselves out of. I am not saying I have zero sympathy for the guy, but if I think about charity, I think about the weakest of society first. And this guy still has his creativity and a safety net (family, friends) to continue working.

        You are right in that there are people in worse situations as you describe and I hope you do donate to them however you can. But the person here affected has taken bad decisions and it is actively being legally attacked, this is a position I understand and can relate to so I have donated to him.

        I’m replying to you as you have replied to this post as to express my own opinion and to say that although you are not wrong in your comment, it is a bad position to take and might be considered arrogant and presumptuous. May you never be in a position where you need to ask others for money.

        This is the only part people forget before giving others shit on Lemmy and reddit. I didn’t ask for Dingo Epilepsy news. So when I comment it’s because I was slightly interested in what your platform had to offer…

            Because we jumped in on a /all shown post? Close/private your community if you don’t want people to be involved.

              Both of your comments are just complaining, that’s not being involved. And the other guys comment was just rude and ignorant.

                This ^^ isn’t a complaint.

                  “I didn’t ask for it”

                  Buddy, that’s how link aggregators work. If you don’t like it, then only look at subscribed communities, or block ones you don’t like. Posts aren’t made specifically for you.
