I often download pirated games, almost all games on my laptop are pirated (only single player games). I downloaded the pirated version of valheim about two weeks ago. Since I am a student and not earning anything, I feel like my monthly allowance is not my money to spend (it's not much either) and only spend on absolutely necessary stuff and that too the cheapest.
But I recently received about 750 INR for anchoring a 2 hour event. And now I could spend it on anything, and something about this game made me spend 529 INR on it. So behold, Valheim, the only non-pirated game on my laptop. And I feel sooo good after buying it, the feeling that I have contributed something to this absolutely awesome game.
And now I am starting some freelancing website development and I'll use that money to gradually replace the pirated versions of other games with original versions.
Thought I'd share it with the Valheim community. Have a nice day.
P.S.
(Didn't know what flair I should use so used discussion flair)
