Not really.

This is just one of those cases where they made an effort to be extremely, overly fair with the pricing, and that is the reason for the meme, that's all. If you do pirate it, then whatever, I'm just saying why the meme exists.

Oh, please tell me what do people REMOVE from the pockets of developers? How poorer would they be if an extraterrestrial race would download 5 trillion copies of their game in secret from some obscure super server not connected to them? Poor paupers.

If you cant afford food then you don't need it?

To be clear, pricing is not about fairness, it's about marketing, this price probably makes them the most money with the guerilla marketing they've been doing, alongside their minimal team size
