You don't know this game nor what happened there. You were never the intended public to donate.
What happened is actual theft of intellectual property, not to be confused with copyright. The world of disco Elysium is a paracosm, a massive inner world developed intimately over a creators life.
For those that have one, such world become a part of them, intertwined with your own identity.
A loophole by a pig, enforced copyright where no moral right exists. It bans the creator of making stories or using elements of the universe that exists inside their own head.
Such loss is not dissimilar to losing a child and i say this as a parent. I cant blame him for borderline insane emotional talking.
Thanks for the lingo, I never knew of paracosm.
It ended up on the front page of my lemmy instance, so I feel invited to read & comment. As I said, from what the plea describes, there's plenty of people who one could help a lot more with a lot less money and out of circumstances that they have less chances of getting themselves out of. I am not saying I have zero sympathy for the guy, but if I think about charity, I think about the weakest of society first. And this guy still has his creativity and a safety net (family, friends) to continue working.
You are right in that there are people in worse situations as you describe and I hope you do donate to them however you can. But the person here affected has taken bad decisions and it is actively being legally attacked, this is a position I understand and can relate to so I have donated to him.
I'm replying to you as you have replied to this post as to express my own opinion and to say that although you are not wrong in your comment, it is a bad position to take and might be considered arrogant and presumptuous. May you never be in a position where you need to ask others for money.
What a weird mentality to show up to a place you weren’t invited to(Lemmy showed us this, not the people here) just to tell them that you don’t value their problems and that they shouldn’t either because other people have it worse. I doubt you’re helping them, either, so go find a quiet place to shut the hell up in.
The closest I’ve been to this Disco Elysium is that I know a friend really likes it. That’s about it, so it ain’t my place to shove in and act like my opinion is worth anything.
Yea it's a very strange stance. "I won't help this guy because other people might need it more". I played Disco Elysium and it is obvious it is a very personal project. It was stolen from them and I cannot help but sympathize.
I guess other poor or homeless just dont have a good enough story or product they were part of before.
This is the only part people forget before giving others shit on Lemmy and reddit. I didn't ask for Dingo Epilepsy news. So when I comment it's because I was slightly interested in what your platform had to offer...
Y'all screaming entitlement so hard sheesh.
Because we jumped in on a /all shown post? Close/private your community if you don't want people to be involved.
Both of your comments are just complaining, that's not being involved. And the other guys comment was just rude and ignorant.
Their perspective is valid whether you think so or not, thats how perspectives work. Dont be so closed minded.
What perspective? The "I don't know what's going and can't read" perspective, or the "I don't like how link aggregators work" one?
Or is it the "His struggles don't matter because there are people worse off" one? That one great. It's like you get to be heartless while patting yourself on your back.
Yes, we all understand you dont like their perspective. Congrats.
Yes, I will not care for crappy, disingenuous perspectives.

This ^^ isn't a complaint.
"I didn't ask for it"
Buddy, that's how link aggregators work. If you don't like it, then only look at subscribed communities, or block ones you don't like. Posts aren't made specifically for you.
"I was slightly interested in what your platform had to offer..."
Reread my last comment please.
Being "slightly interested" doesn't give you a pass to make shitty, half assed comments. And by the down votes that's what people seem to think your comments are.
If it makes you any happier, I have spent a considerable amount of time reading through this games subreddit, out of the loop subs, and some game trailers and it has piqued my interest and I'll be taking a closer look at playing it.
So if anything has come from my "shitty comments" it's that this game has earned my interest.
I'm okay with being downvoted. There's always another account to be made, there's always a person who gets uppity, there's always another topic that people get pissed off about. And I don't really think any of my comments have been shitty. Maybe half assed. But not shitty.
It's "Disco Elysium".
Lol I know. I was being a tool.
