Is he aware that High Plains Hypocrite is advocating pirating
the data files in order to play for free and compensate the
authors not at all?
Amazing lack of morals the COLA "advocates" have.
Lie. My reply to your earlier post:

The majority of Winware is illegal.
That I can understand, hence why all the EULA's and software
pirating protection schemes.
And here we have a perfect example of "lets play someones game
(hard work and investment) for free". "free" as in - it costs
you nothing.
Perfect? No, rather sad taken out-of-context analogy.
Game has been around for a while, writer and manufacturer have
received their compensation. Due to newer titles and features,
game is not as profitable as before. They make the game code
available to the FOSS community, for maintenance and permission
to distro.
This is legal, whereas theft of software is not.
"With it being released, it would not surprise me that this
little encumbrance will be overcome."
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Replying to your moronic insults? Yes.
