do devs ever get something from the sale? i would imagine they have positions with salaries, not some type of “you get x% from every sale” sort of deal.

I mean in this case it was their company at the start. Like they get (or got) money from it in a way that the usual developer doesn’t. And in this case it’s because of a shitty, greedy action we have a pretty easy solution to. That being piracy.

With that logic we should never buy a game, unless it is directly going to the developers hands? If you want it in your Steam library, then its the best time to buy it now probably while there is a sale active and before you cannot in the future, in case it gets unlisted caused by these legal issues. BTW I’m not doing the FOMO: FEAR OF MISSING OUT here. This is for people like me who rely on Steam library for convenience.

Piracy doesn’t solve what I was saying. It is still not integrated into Steam and my account after pirating the game.

Yeah, fair enough - you do have a point.
