I used my Mastercard to donate to the dev. Eat shit credit card companies.
Good job paying Mastercard with your rebellion dollars.
Me too fuck them. Maybe we can make this a trend start selling games direct and stop using Steam and Epic etc platforms. Do it how they did back during the old days as shareware.
Link to the game is kinda hidden in the article: https://dreadxp.com/vile-is-banned/.
I mean, the article embeds a video plastered with "VILEISBANNED.COM" in warning tape–style text.
The dev's name is Cara Cadaver. Can't get any better of a name for a horror game dev.
We need another Steam Alternative & this time it needs to be FOSS
It's called github and gitlab
Well guess better go get this game. How can I support them financially?
It says on the article and the website they accept donations :)
Yeah found it downloading game now, also made a donation.
you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Bro that website on mobile is vile. Shit has auto play non closable ads.
Not sure how I feel about the dev using the internet archive to distribute the game.
By the way, who put it in the "Community software" collection? The game is not open source.
What's wrong with using the internet archive?
Noting wrong with the IA whatsoever. But given how harshly they've been treated by basically every government and corporate interest groups they've been forced to contend with foot the last few years, and the regular DDOSes, I personally always feel guilty downloading things from them and spending more of their resources on "relatively frivolous" things.
It paints a target on IA as a piracy distro while it’s plainly not. IA is not in the piracy game but using it to distribute questionable content can raise flags elsewhere.
How could this be confused as piracy. It’s uploaded by the developers of the game?
I’m not saying THIS particular instance does but generally using IA for that reason has fed into its detractor’s lame arguments against the site.
