This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I grew up in Russia and it's sometimes so mindboggling that people don't know their way around digital piracy. It may sound bad, but I actually think that it's the only thing that can keep the market healthy. I pay for games, movies, books and whatever else there is purely because I like them. And if I don't like the content you made, you are getting no money. If I have to pay for it before judging it's value, what insentive does the producer of the content have to make it actually good?
