Just FYI, if you really did want to pay for something on the app store, you can usually find gift cards at grocery stores to use, which you can buy with cold hard cash in person. Same with Steam and other digital stores.
You'd want people to pay you for using a product they consume, especially if it's a quality product. You sound like you're entitled to free shit just because someone made their "fair share" off a game, and I'm sure that fair share is whatever arbitrary number you deem valid, which I'm guessing is low.
I'm saying, pay developers if you enjoy their stuff, especially indie developers. Vote with your wallet. Make it known you enjoy their stuff, so they make more of it. If you want to pirate, feel free, I encourage it, but also pay people what their worth if you can afford to do so. That's my main point.
For you, do whatever the fuck you want because you're not interested in listening to logic or reasoning anyway.
