Knowing how to do things can save you lots of time, money, or both in many of different areas of life.
I can't imagine you've min-maxed every area of your life, why shit on people who are happy to pay for someone to package things up for them?
Yeah don't shit on the people buying this, shit on the companies over-charging for it.
If IP wasn't bullshit and I still cared, I'd totally pay 5$ for a copy of a game like this.
It is and I don't but in a civilized world where I were funding a designer's retirement/heirs that would be neat. A version of capitalism that didn't inevitable slip towards fascist totalitarianism and wasn't made of orphan bones would be cool.
I do shit on people who continue to buy this because it's telling the companies that it is an acceptable practice for them to do.
