Lovely reply.

1. It's the way you use the word. There is a difference between "x person was ignorant of the law" and "you're just ignorant, dude". One is stating a fact (or at least one's claim and the other is calling someone a name instead of having a proper dicussion). If you don't understand the difference, I truly have nothing to say to you.

2. I didn't contradict myself at all. You just made a bunch of assumptions about what I said. At least if you're gonna make such an accusation, point out what exactly makes it a contradiction, or is that too much to ask?

3. Using skyrim as an example is comparing apples to oranges. One game is an incredibly successful franchise made by a company that would be fine even if it were to fail. The other by a person that has invested his own money and has everything to lose if ends up failing. Games like Skyrim and GTA can make a profit solely based on first day sales. They sell that well. Indie games (especially ambitious ones) usually don't have that luxury.

"Lovely reply." (is that sarcasm?, if so it doesn't translate well into text and again isn't needed).

1. Calling people who don't understand a subject or situation or action as "ignorant" isn't me insulting them, especially when they prove they don't have a proper grasp. If I called you a complete nonce or idiot then you would gain more on the insult grounds.

2.Pointing it out now isn't going to work much since you didn't already see it with the whole "name calling" part you spoke of.

3. Braid was made by the same dev and was really popular and likely pirated to an extent, he was made popular and known for that game so it's not entirely A&O. MC was also pirated to an extent as well for the very, very small team Mojang was with all their own money and look where they are now, same will eventually happen to this dev, otherwise he would have fallen flat since his first game.
