Hey, what's this skull and crossbones flag doing here? Oh right. That's my pirate flag that I fly high as I sail the seas........for no reason......no reason at all. Yep. Mods, it's just a flag that's being flown for no reason at all. Certainly not one that needs mod intervention......

Personally, I don't even like piracy as a form of protest. It means you're spending time on their game when you could be spending time and money on a game that respects your values. Plus, if you like the game, you're still spreading positive word of mouth. I don't need to play Horizon when there's so much else out there.

Seconded. I feel similarly with some bad audiobooks. I've considered seeding them, but then that's more listeners who might like it and give them money. So I settled for leaving bad reviews and washing my hands of it
