You should never pirate a game, period.

Uhm have you read the Playtester requirements? You're basically saying the whole opposite.

Sins of the Prophets does not condone piracy of SoaSE:R in any way shape or form, and it never will. Ironclad/Stardock made a good game and deserve their money at whatever price they call for. 

[SiRD31M0S]

Ya ever gone to attack the pirates in the base game? I still have nightmares about the minefields. Those guys are assholes. Nuf said.

[Emperorfluffball]

can't you play on ironclad online with the mod? or do Playtester's exclusively use Steam?
just wondering...

[Fleet Admiral agigabyte]

We use Evolve.

[Metanator]

I mean... Theoretically you could.

 

Having said that, you could also theoretically go on a killing spree in a shopping mall and not go to jail.

We are only accepting playtesters who can play online and use a legal copy of the game. Could always come back to bite us if we did otherwise. Official position of SotP is to buy the game if you enjoy it enough to keep playing it. Mow lawns, rake yards, hook, w/e, but legally buying good games is the only way to ensure good games continue to be funded and made.

As Lead Playtester, I'll say it right now: I will never accept someone with an illegal copy of SoaSE:R, while I know it. If I accidently do, I would immediatly suspend them until they buy a legitimate copy of the game.

 

There is absolutely no reason to not support Stardock, and Ironclad, and pirating games in general is stealing; there's no other way to look at it. Just as Uni said, if we were to hire someone to test the mod, while knowing they have a pirated copy of the game, it could cause a number of issues that we wouldn't want to deal with, let alone the fact that we would be supporting pirating. That's not good for the image of the mod.

 

"Oh, but I'm just testing out the game--" No, you stole it, so please go get some money, and buy the game, supporting the people who took their time to make it. If money is short, then work until you have enough. That's called capitalism.

Gonna be honest, I still have no idea what you do.

leading the playtesting.

[Idio]

I organize the testers, as well as assist with keeping a dialog open between the devs/testers, which is something that was an issue prior to my arrival. I also recruit new testers, fire inactive/poor testers, and will conduct any future recruitment drives for testers. It's fairly simple, and straight forward work.

Sins is routinely $10 on Steam. It's part of basically every Steam sale. Even at it's most expensive it's $40. One could mow 4 lawns and buy Sins.
