A meme featuring a black cat with wide, surprised eyes against a purple and yellow radial background. The top text reads 'OPENING A PIRATED GAME' and the bottom text reads 'CMD WINDOW APPEARS FOR A SPLIT SECOND'. The cat's shocked expression humorously represents the anxiety or surprise when a command prompt window briefly pops up while launching pirated software, a common experience that many users find relatable and amusing.

The meme is divided into three main sections. The top section features logos of major game companies: Ubisoft, EA, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Activision. The middle-left section displays covers of popular indie games: *Undertale*, *Hollow Knight*, *Dead Cells*, and *Stardew Valley*. The right section contains two illustrated characters: a top pirate wearing a skull-and-crossbones hat with the text "I WOULD NEVER BUY A GAME," and a bottom muscular man with the text "At your service my Queen." The visual joke contrasts the claim of never buying games (implying piracy of big companies) with deferential support for indie developers, humorously suggesting prioritizing indie game purchases over pirating major studio titles.
