I don’t have a problem with sharing…but when these mainstream news sites out these places, there’s usually blood in the water coming. The same thing happened with a free VR piracy repo after Bonelab came out. It was shared by a mainstream game site and then tiktok. Afterwards, they had to go dark and switch to a paid / VIP only.
Same effect happens with Nintendo fan games.
Remember when Kotaku made an article on Pokemon Uranium, which got a C&D 3 days later? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Yeah there's a big difference between spreading the word on an individual basis and broadcasting something on a national media outlet. The latter is just obnoxious and directly harmful to the community. Good on you for calling it out.
