Always remember, businesses are not people and they are never your friend. If a developer makes a game you like that panders specifically to you — fuck 'em, pirate it anyways. If you give them money it will be used to make a worse game targeted at people you hate.
A lot of developers, businesses in general, are quick to forget that they have a core customer base that has been buying their products for longer than most people they currently employ have even been there.
