I proved that some moderators are overpowered, essentially, also showing how non-existant of a fuse that some have before something goes off, in addition to showing that some should never be given mod permissions in the first place. Reasonably against someone? You're gone, bud.
I love how you're assuming things. Who said that it was even pirated? That's a good mindset to have.
It's funny you mentioned investing money into pCARS. I invested in the more-than-what-most-were-paying package ("toolpack" as they were called), totaling $60 USD. The game's said to cost less than that, so they ended up losing some funding, as little as it might've been, over a minor incident that could've ended in a much different manner.
I wouldn't even recommend it in the slightest, especially given the current (every) state of its development.
