When a pirated version of early access survival game Subnautica 2 started going around before its release, some took to bragging about dodging the game's $30 price tag directly in the official Discord channel.
"Thanks for pirating a game that I've spent years working on," game design lead Anthony Gallegos replied to one such self-reported pirate. "I'm disappointed that you'd do that when it's kind of how we make our living. I hope you rethink your life choices."
