I keep hearing over and over here "people who pirate wouldn't buy it anyway" and I have some issues with that, but taking it at face value: okay! Sure! Let's take that as truth.
If more people are downloading illegally rather than buying, it tells me that the primary audience is not a paying one.

"They knew exactly what they were doing wrong which makes it right." EXACTLY! It's not to-the-letter historically accurate by a long shot, but it's accurate to the VIBES. Of course they didn't sing Queen or do the wave at jousts, but it's a translation of what they would've done for modern audiences

The series is not complete yet. Please do not yell at me.
The first two are in audio. For there to be more, the narrator's on board but I'd have to crowdfund. You can sign up to be notified if it launches: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sky...
