    Next time you want to bitch about everything Trump taking legal years:

    My case is about 5 years old now, I have been going through the legal process the whole time I’ve been working on this. I have finally been found guilty and sentenced, and I’m going away next month.

    In other news, legal insurance is about $26/mo. Arm yourself. (And it’s not just for suing people or defending criminal charges. Having a legal opinion a phone call away, or a letter written, can be life changing.)

    Huh, it might depend on the crime but not having computer/internet access for the entire prison time seems wild. I’m guessing he is not from a country that would allow him to have a normal job whilst in prison (again, depending on crime type).

    I actually respect the hell out of the dev here. Owning up to past wrongs, growing as a person, clear and concise communication, honestly that’s all huge progress.

    I’ve tried it out. It’s actually a pretty solid early-access game. Excellent atmosphere and setting.

    Respect to the dev with being so open with the community.

    I haven’t heard of this game before, so Streisand effect? To the judgement system?
    On a more serious note people change, and the dev seems remorseful so maybe an early parole won’t be out of the question

      they say it is due to a case where they’re kinda admitting to doing something violent and illegal, probably before the development of the game, so probably not

    I refunded the game last week because it didn’t capture me like I was hoping. I hope the guy comes out of prison to be a better person, but it sounds like I dodged a big bullet.

      How?

      How did you dodge any kind of bullet, never mind a big one?

      Jumpin’ Jesus on a Pogo Stick, not everything is a life or death scenario - you fucking refunded a game.
