Devs of a 2023 hit game would rather you pirate their title than watch it on YouTube

The studio wants each player to experience the title for themselves

The year has been full of truly great games and, without a doubt, one of them is Slay the Princess. The indie title became quite popular for its peculiar proposal, so sites like YouTube are full of gameplays.

Its creators are happy with this; however, they recently published a message that caught the attention of gamers. In it, they invite the community to pirate the game if they can't afford it, as they prefer each person to experience it on their own rather than simply watching it on YouTube.

Creators of Slay the Princess invite you to pirate their game

Black Tabby Games, the creators of Slay the Princess, know that many players are still discovering their title, which became a sensation since its debut in October this year. On social networks, the studio asked players to approach the title on their own and not through third-party gameplays.

In addition, it invited players to pirate the title in case they don't have the money to enjoy it right now. Black Tabby Games asked people to buy a copy of the game in the future if they like its proposal.

"The game is at its best if your first experience is playing it yourself instead of watching someone else's play-through. (And if $ is an issue, pirate it and buy a copy later when you have money if you liked it!)," the studio stated.

The company stressed that the first experience with the game is very important, so it prefers that each person enjoys Slay the Princess on their own. This is because decisions are an important part of the gameplay.

"You can only play for the first time once, and the experience won't be the same if you're looking through the lens of someone else's choices," the studio added.

The community reacted in various ways to Black Tabby Games' peculiar invitation. To the studio's surprise, several players shared screenshots showing that they legally purchased the game on Steam after the post.
