As someone who dreams of making a living selling software that I've poured years and years into, that comment makes me very sad.

Why do I want to make money from my hard work? Or why am I sad when someone offers a way to bypass paying money for hard work to get something for free?

I assumed the original developers might give free copies in the official discord

I meant that the author of DragonRuby is generous. And depending on your use case he might be willing to give you a free copy. Additionally, whenever there is a gamejam related to DragonRuby, he usually gives away free copies to anyone who wants to participate. For you to keep. Nobody said anything about bypassing paying money. Not sure what you were thinking.

To be honest I was just not giving the benefit of the doubt to the comment I was replying to. I should practice that.
