Bootleggers

THE NIGHT SHIFT IS YOURS
You start with a leaking shed by the water, one torrent PC and a stack of blank discs. Burn a copy, carry it to the street, and sell it off a folding table. The city is asleep, the buyers are awake, and there is a cop walking the block.EVERY DISC IS A RECIPE
The torrent box only seeds the classics: three genres to start, more as your name gets around. Everything else you make yourself. Bolt a mod onto a game in the modding lab, press two games together and see what comes out. Every new fake goes into your recipe book, and filling that book is the real end of the game.BURN IT CLEAN
Burning a disc is not a progress bar. Tune the burner into its strongest band, then seal the cracks as they split across the disc. Clean burns build overburn, and every full overburn is a free extra copy. Every new fake you mix is revealed like a pack opening: rarity, tags, street value.A PIRACY TREE THAT FOLLOWS REAL HISTORY
Over 160 parody games across five genre trees, and the craft chains trace how games actually evolved. A shooter about a castle becomes a demon shooter, becomes an arena shooter, becomes a half-finished physics experiment, becomes the bomb-defusal mod that ate the world. Splice two together and you get the thing a studio built years later. Every step is a disc you can burn and sell.THE STREET IS THE RISK
Set up your table, put real stock on it, and let buyers come. They ask for a genre, sometimes a combination, and they make an offer based on what the disc is actually worth. Take it, counter, or send them away. Push a cheapskate too hard and they walk.

Get caught selling and you are WANTED. Sooner or later an officer walks up and stops you: comply and lose every fake in your bag, or slip them a bribe and keep it all. Walk off or take a swing and it becomes a chase. Break line of sight, wait out the search, or pay off your record at the precinct.BUY THE BUILDING
The cafe is behind a shutter with a price on it. So is the game store across town. Nothing opens on a timer: you walk up, you pay, the shutter goes up. Then it is bare tables. Buy parts, drag them into slots, and watch a machine come together. Better rigs pull better customers.THE BASEMENT
Modding, fusion and duplication benches under the floor. Crack games, splice them into something that never shipped, and stamp copies. Every bootleg you sell raises heat, and heat brings a raid through your front door.EVERY UPGRADE IS A NEW FAILURE SURFACE
Progression does not calm the chaos, it scales it. More PCs means a bigger power bill. More customers means more trash, more smell, and more people who notice the second the internet drops.
