        Things truly are dire when a 4Chan shitpost can be called prescient.

        Nope. It’s a common joke to show that a company doesn’t actually lose money when a game is pirated.

        It’s simply a comment on how piracy =/= lost sales. Don’t look too far into it.

        No. Afaik this only takes effect after certain revenue and install thresholds.

          F2P games can still make money. Look: microtransactions. So this absolutely applies to them.

      For this green text to be properly updated, the first line needs to be changed to, “Purchase game on Steam.”
