The developers quickly realized who they were dealing with
Crate Entertainment, known for the ARPG project Grim Dawn, released the full version of the city-building strategy game Farthest Frontier this year. Recently, one user has been harassing the developers.
A certain BigBadAss33 was criticizing Farthest Frontier on the Steam forum and calling for the game to be fixed. Soon, in one of the threads, he received a response from a developer under the nickname Zantai, who suggested that he purchase a licensed version:
Please buy the game instead of running a \"non-Steam version.\"
The Farthest Frontier developer explained that BigBadAss33 is playing a pirated version:
This person has previously come to our forum and asked for mods for the \"non-Steam version.\". There is no such thing, so it's all pretty obvious. If they are not going to support our work, we don't think he has the right to participate in our community.
Zantai also talked about a trap for pirates that was built into Grim Dawn:
Fun fact: there are no special \"anti-piracy bugs\" in Farthest Frontier, but we did this in our previous game Grim Dawn, where pirates randomly had problems such as being unable to complete quests, losing levels, or bosses not appearing. It was a real pleasure to receive complaints about these bugs! Bottom line: please support indie developers. If their work brings you joy, help them put food on the table. And if you can't afford it, at least don't come to their forums to report it.
