    …Do they?

    I feel like if the person is telling you to pirate the game, a method that is 100% confirmed to provide no money to the dev, they probably are already actively feeling money drain from the other method

    Like telling someone to pirate your game is a pretty extreme argument against resellers. I don’t think it’s a myth, and while a mass study would be good, there’s just more evidence against at the moment. I think the resellers have more to prove than vica versa.

        I mean,

        I still feel that a dev willing to take a lost sale over a resale, still says more than just saying they’re misinformed.

        And at the end of the day, resell is supposed to be a cheaper way to say “I bought it”. And at the end of the day, devs are saying “If anything, it’s worse for us”

        I don’t think it’s ridiculous. I think resellers are more needing to prove their legitimacy in this case.

        The thing I find most ridiculous honestly, is that you seem to be under the assumption that the devs aren’t already getting noisy chargebacks. Like this whole thing sprouted from nothing.
