image for Ultrakill dev says it's fine to pirate his game if you don't have money to spare: 'Culture shouldn't exist only for those who can afford it'

I mean, sure—according to Ultrakill dev Arsi "Hakita" Patala.

Essentially, piracy doesn't mean a lost sale if the person pirating the game couldn't afford it in the first place. »
