"We've been told our games are too expensive in some countries but we've been using Steam's recommended pricing for a while. We trust Valve enough to not change this. If our games are still too expensive for you, you can pirate them until you have enough to support us."

I'd seen postal, but it looked like a meme game, so I never considered playing it, now I might try it out, see what it's all about.

Theyre all kind of bad and rely mainly on shock humor to grab your attention. Think the GTA series but with more piss and shit jokes. You pee on people... Not exactly high brow. I thought the second one was fun though.

Honestly it's all sorts of wrong especially these days, but I've played through the whole thing 3 or 4 times. Surprisingly fun gameplay and enough easter eggs to be interesting on replay.

Why it's so expensive in Poland, they are not even close to salary in Norway or Swiss.

This reminds me of Paulo Coelho telling people to pirate his books https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/feb/01/paulo-coelho-readers-pirate-books

You all complaining about the word "based" know that Urban Dictionary exists, right?

download some unknown exe or sideload some dll with admin rights sound like good idea.

They have a nice discount on their games on their own webpage. Too bad it requires a credit card or paysafecard.

I'll probably be pirating for now.

exposure is more important than sales for them.

Why not releasing the source code then?
