@Captain247 No no, nothing like that. But you bring up a valid point. I should've quoted his comment to indicate what specifically I was replying to. When I was writing that, I wasn't actually aware that Walvis is also who made the video... <_> lol
I'll edit my post to include the comment. My bad!
"Quite literally, yes. Pirating is still very much not legal and morally wrong, especially when you are stealing from an indie studio."
Pirating is stealing with the intention to redistribute and somehow profit from (either trade what you have or outright exchange for money). Conventionally speaking, this involves hijacking and direct harm of one or more innocent individuals (ie holding up a semi truck driver and stealing his goods, or a cargo vessel at sea, etc).
However...
Downloading something that you have to buy, for your own use, but without paying for it, is only theft/stealing. It's still wrong, and still very illegal, subjecting you to whatever your countries criminal codes are, same as if you took something physically from a retail store.
.
Granted, in the digital age that last part about Piracy is thankfully not exactly an issue anymore, though one could still easily say it is by pointing out the times when people have managed to obtain copies of something early because of a human error (either a slip up that allowed access for just-long-enough, or a system that has crappy security [firewall, logins, etc; missing critical patches, or software is deprecated entirely] which was simple to bypass), which such a situation could indeed cost them their job all because of digital pirate's actions.
I am NOT saying I condone it. Nor am I making excuses for anyone. Simply that the media has mislabeled it and it's kinda like labeling a person that stole a Blu-Ray Player the same as someone that stole someone's Child.
One is a person with questionable morals who has done something wrong, able to come back from the path they've strayed down...
The other, is a person with either no morals or they're completely twisted, who has done something very bad, crossing a line you cannot come back from.
(admittedly, that's a very extreme comparison, since I'd argue you could come back to the right side after a single act of piracy so long as you didn't irreparably harm anyone)
... "Well, that escalated quickly..." :}
TL;DR -
Don't steal SimplePlanes! It's worth the money to buy it, even in 2021, even with its remaining bugs and shortcomings/annoyances!
In not quite sure, but since seeing Andrew's comments on the post about hollow fuselages yesterday gave me hope for that at least. I say to wait if the devs continue to show support. Simple planes is still a great game regardless, but it would be cool to see more development.
For me yessss literally yes because in the goddamnn lockdown and it's boring and if you like to build stuff like boat,cars,plane etc... "The sky is the limit"
This should become the official SimplePlanes commercial

@Formula350 what? So random...
are you talking about the planes he used in the video?
@Walvis I'd just like to clarify a misnomer regarding your comment...

SimplePlanes is love, SimplePlanes is life
