sirDexter: https://spidersweb.pl/2016/12/cyberpunk-2077-dofinansowanie.html Polish government "gave" CD Project RED 30 million PLN (about $8 million) to improve the game.
Yes, it was legal, but slavery was also.
So if I get a game without paying (CD Project is not losing there, just not gaining) then I'm a thief?
What about Poles who paid for that and they don't even know the game exists. Real money was taken from them.
Do Polish people (me) can have the game for free, then?
The probable success of the game will bring money to all Polish people through taxes, increased economic activity (due to the money that the game brings into Poland), possibly more jobs within Poland especially in the SW development and IT field, more tourism because people want to see the country where the game was made etc.
So all Polish people benefit from the game, so actually every Pole is obliged to buy at least one copy of the game! You owe it to CDPR!
