If you like the game, buy it!
Terry Cavanagh has a post up on his site Distractionware, talking about how his game VVVVVV, has been leaked on 4chan by someone who donated for beta access.
Firstly, I just want to say this is not some deep pocketed company like EA you are ripping off (not that ripping off EA is any better morally), it’s an independent developer.
Secondly, for the low donation he was asking for (to help fund the projects entry to IGF) you could have played the Beta to your hearts content and helped a small developer at the same time.
Anyone in the comments section claiming they wouldn’t have donated in ‘good faith’ for a game they have never played, you could have tried out any of his previous games to get a feel for the quality. You could have read the impressions posted about the game, or checked out a gameplay video, or looked through the screenshots available.
