Eh… I have a 500+ game library on GOG and moved back to Steam in 2020. Steam just has too many good features. I’m at the point where I don’t really care about DRM anymore. I know that’s an unpopular opinion but after 20+ years I realize it’s just a boogeyman.

When DRM is implemented without problems (unlike denassvu) its generally absolutely not relevant when you buy a game.

That's your opinion dawg... my opinion is that i don't to pay for that trash, so now I don't.

I have other options when I don't like how a vendor behaves ;)

I can keep this up as long as fit grey markets exit and/or Fitgirl is around. So prolly until I am dead.

These shiti corpo operations should get a hint, this aint rent or food lol 100% discretionary media with apple options

Bro its not my problem what you do but when you Pirat stuff then don't complain about evil steam allowing publishers to protect their stuff.

Shure I pirated games as well, especially from big greedy companies, but I don't go around whining that people want to get paid for work.

Its really telling how low you value the work people put into the things you like. You sound like a gamer Karen.

But so everybody is clear, buying shiti corpo products does not help devs who already laid off by the shiti corpo after the crunch. You are not paying the developers as humans, you are paying a legal entity collecting rent. Some of that money will be used to retain min amount of staff required to maintain minimum service.

Once corpos start to "value the work people put into the things you like" we can revisit this topic.

Fucking disgusting bootlicking, learn how businesses and this specific industry operates before you say idiotic shit that is not factually correct.

Bro I've only bought indie games for the last 10 years when we make a exception for Anno 1800... Wich was a grate game and those devs are treated great as they are the only consisting cash cow ubisoft has.

You are as said just a karan (maybe a kyle I don't care) gamer.

I take your ramblings as a "I don't want to pay for the games I play and love because I hate [insert leftist sounding dog whistle]" while in reality you enjoy the games and think you are special for beig a good person because you didn't support capitalism.

You are not. You are a cheap liar that tells himself he is so smart and genius (looking at your instance name here as well...) all while you shit on others that want to get paid for work, and I know why that is, you probably never worked a day in your life.
